Hey Guys,

What's the best way to spend Amex Points? I've around 30k, I'm thinking food, buffets. Where all this can be used? Is only redemption to Taj and dining there is an option? or can it be converted to any other? Marriott? If yes, how?
 
You can convert it to 39000 Mariott points during the 30% bonus offer October to December.
You might get 2 room nights with 39000 points in a low end hotel.

Or else you can convert 18000 points to a 6000 Amazon pay voucher.

Kindly mark this as your solution, thanks 🙏
 
And which miles should he convert to, to get flight tickets at these 30k rewards? Or they equivalent to 1₹ on booking flights?
Use Virgin Atlantic (VS Miles). One-way flight is for 15K Points + 11K INR. Revenue Flight is 26K. 1MR Point = 0.5 VS Miles
You'll get 50Paisa Value.
Which airline ?
KLM/AirFrance
 
According to my research, Mariott is highly overpriced. See the screenshot. In most cases, 1 Mariott point is not even 50p.
Gst add kro pehle wale hotel me it's 16373.68. which is 75% chlo 70 hi maan lete.

Attaching one Sheraton hotel in delhi only
Almost 1₹ per 1 marriot point as Sheraton doesn't provide breakfast in ₹ booking also

Attaching one more from Singapore , it's 54k/60k which is 88%


Aisa nahi hai bhai k bilkul bakwaas hai.
For many hotels it might be rubbish but good redemption deals bhi available hain

Just 3 Hotels out of 8800+ Marriott Bonvoy Properties Globally? My current booking in a Courtyard Marriott is Rs. 1+ per point. Last 8-10 bookings have all been minimum 0.6-0.7 Rs. per point. (3 Nights @ 33,600 Marriott Bonvoy Points with each night being $140+ per night without even accounting the aspect that these points were transferred under last year's 30% Bonus offer)

Within India, there are 135+ Properties and at least 40+ properties will give you, 0.7-0.8 Rs per point. Outside India is equally the same way.

Plan a vacation for 5 days at one of the Mariott properties preferably in the month of September. Till 40,000 points and below you’ll get at least 3-4 properties which shall yield value between 0.60p-0.90p per MR point. There are properties such as the one at Belagavi under 30k points as well. If points are insufficient then you can purchase the same (there is an ongoing offer of bonus points on MR points purchase). Pick a destination where you can take time to explore the city and nearby areas which are touristy or go for a new property or a property offbeat location to just chill out.
