I think 24% return on Traveledge is a better deal, because revenue flights are only 70000 on Air India and 77000 on Virgin.
And you will get 24% of that back as reward points.

Yeah you can go ahead with that. As I said the membership rewards that you are getting should have a specific purpose , in case you don't have any specific redemption there is no point opting for it as reward points are always at mercy of the bank , they can devalue it at anytime they want.

Virgin flight Mumbai to New York return is 40000 points + £ 524.

wow 524 itself is bummer

That's because of high APD on LHR and VS directly transfers taxes to customers

Elaborate pls for 2

You can get one way Del-HKG at 32k miles
So 128k Amex MR can get you return Del-HkG in business class
Taxes would be 15k
That would be a good return as you won't get full lie flat seats return trip to HK at 83-84k INR.
The value would be even better if you can make use of some transfer bonus

don't we need MRCC also to book experiences or can we book it using just plat charge

You can redeem with plat charge
No need for mrcc
