Whats the minimum spend for Atlas to make sense?

[joell]

i don't have a relationship with Axis at the moment but I was looking for a travel credit card. info: 21yo student. Flights 4-5 times a qtr are usually booked through Smartbuy. I've cards with HDFC, IndusInd, Kotak, Federal and ICICI at the moment. Also have HDFC Preferred, Indusind Exclusive and Indie. So in total, I've around 8 domestic lounge access per qtr already. So lounge access isn't needed for me. My dad pays for my education expenses so I won't even hit the 7.5L Gold Tier milestone. I went to the branch and talked to the RM and he said Atlas would be the best for me but I beg to differ. Any thoughts?

Atlas 3L milestone is devalued, right?

No miles for 3L

The annual renewal miles were removed for silver tier members but 3L milestone is still there.

I was talking about those who will spend 3 lakh only.

And my opinion may differ but if I am using less than 50% of total cost with points, I won't prefer to restrict myself to Accor in that case. I would rather pay in full and choose another property that fits. And for those with 3 lakhs spends, Ibis would be the only option that will fit and I have had worst experience with Ibis in Krabi. A cockroach sneaked into my tshirt while sleeping. Also the staff was rude.

PS: I am not a Atlas or Accor hater. I have just completed my new year trip in Movenpick, Vietnam. But it was completely funded with points.

Its about individual choices at end I agree. I have a little different opinion 😁

Valid for 1 year.

Really? I have heard it's for 3 years like Edge Points. I already have points for over a year now and I don't see any expiring anywhere.

After transfer then it is for 1 year on those loyalty website I think and they get renewed for another year once there is any activity.

I would still transfer them out as soon as I have them. Knowing Axis, things could go haywire anytime.

I think Renewals gave 2500 edge miles if Silver and 5000 when gold now there are no renewal benifits if silver and 2500 em if gold as far as I know.
