What are the best ways to redeem Axis Magnus ER points (Edge Rewards) AFTER the devaluation?

[skywatcher404]

After the recent devaluation, I'm not sure what to buy with my 23k ER points. I had earlier bought Turkish Airlines miles. I'm ok with hotel/airline miles/vouchers, if the INR value is good!

ITC is 1:1 redemption and you can use for stay/dine in/online ordering

The actual value ITC points give is quite less since a Rs 20k room often costs upwards of 40k points or above

My vote still goes to Accor as their hotels are reasonably priced and each Accor point is worth Rs 1.8 so as 5:2 redemption actually becomes 5:3.6 in rupee terms

Accor is 10:1 now right?. I used the ITC points to get the culinaire during the promotion which is a pretty good deal for about 20k points (2 nights)

It was never 1:1. It was 5:4. Now it's 5:2 or worse for all, but I think ITC had some bonus points transfer going on.

Yes that i knew. The scheme is to get 30% extra green points but then we need to convert 20k greent points worth or ER to get that bonus

Its 10% not 30%.

AFAIK ITC Green points have 1 year validity and Marriott have 3 years of validity based on the recent activity.

If you are not avid traveler and doesn't fit well you can chose Amazon Pay vouchers which can be used for utility and shopping. But you have large amount of ER's. Plan according to your preferences.

I have 2805 ER points which I got as retention benefit when I was charged annual fee on my paid MyZone card and other accruals.

What is the best value at which I can redeem this?

I am not a traveller, so air miles or hotel points has little appeal, I am more of a shopper, pay bills etc. so that is my preferred segment.

Your tips and suggestions are appreciated!
