What can be done, as Amex is cancelling my cards

[Heisenberg37]

Hi guys
As in previous post i shared my experience of horrible FR.
Now that they are cancelling my cards is there anything i can do to convince them to keep them.

And for example they cancelled my cards when can I reapply again?

move on... . its an exit for you and a life lesson for all.. there are other cards.. stop pursuing them... Just ensure there is nothing negative on CIBIL

Advantage ? I guess you are still in old regime ?

Yes old regime is better always.. new regime is better for gov

NPS without tax benefit is a very bad product.

You don't have any control of your money, anyday the government can change the rules and you can't do anything for that, like they did for SGB.

Better invest on a low cost index fund if you are not getting tax benefit for this. Atleast you would have control over what to do with your money.

Obviously without tax benefit even elss is shit

12 x 1240 points on 12 x (4 x 1500) spend to buy 12 x 6000 Amazon pay on Amex Gyftr 2x

If you pay the renewal fee of 885 (at 50% discount), the return goes down to 5.66%

How about using SBI CB or hdfc millennia and buy Amazon gv to get 5% instead

Going by the cards you have, your annual spends must be around 1-1.5 Crores a year I assume?

Which Transactions of yours caught the attention of Amex? Somebody I know has gotten into a similar trouble for trying to rotate money on Amex through a Portal. He tried rotating upwards of Rs. 15 Lacs on the Plat. Charge within the first month of usage.

As I said I use it for NPS, loan emi payment. Can you suggest card which give cashback on these?

I don't have any loans or any salary so no nps for me.
As of now I'm unaware of any cards regarding these sectors

Absolutely agreed, you can live happily without any American express Card.
There are many better cards

Correct, I also have amex smartearn credit card from last 6-7 years and I rarely use but pay annual charges, I am planning to close my card , no use of amex, no offers

I know all this but I was spending only 6000 a month or 72000 per year

That strategy work for gold with 5x multiplier then close after 1 year if you won't be spending 1.5L in anniversary year of your card

 

[sravanbrahma]

new regime also allows nps.. by employer

But why use of Amex there ?

Are people still trusting Axis with their heavy usage and miles and stuff? I mean to each their own, but after their recent fiasco of suspending reward accounts, I'll never touch any Axis card with a 10 feet pole.

OP did mention something about purchasing car for a friend. I highly doubt Amex will run after genuine spends.

 

[avikrish]

Got it now..
Btw It's fine for me I do nps payment with MRCC which I am gonna do anyways..

How much reward we get for paying nps payments of Rs50000 for one financial year , and also nps payments allow credit card with a fee, does amex cards support? Please provide more info on this , I would like to save some money on nps payments
