I have found two websites so far:

1. Accor Limitless Experiences: https://limitlessexperiences.accor.com/
2. Marriot Bonvoy Shop: https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/redeem/shopping.mi

Also, if anyone has shopped on these websites, do share your experiences.

Nearly all programs have a a few ways to redeem from products, events, experiences, cruises, etc. Usually at poor value to get products unless it's like luxury items, events or experiences where the value is more subjective. Specially luxury items which are overpriced for what they are.

Don't even try customs here, I guarantee you'll get slapped with 50% of the retail cost in fees possibly more. I tend to import a lot of things and it wanders between 45%-75% for small trinkets, gadgets, electronic components, etc.
When shipped via slow mail like national posts it's more likely to no go thru customs depending on the item specially smaller things but also higher risk to be lost specially when uninsured and when insured obviously the value is declared in the package and used in customs. All couriers like DHL, ARAMCO, etc will go through customs.

Google says that import fees for phones is 22%, how is it that you have to pay 45%?

For me they are asking for 77% import fees saying it is being sent to a person. Although it is sent from accor limitless experience with points

Welcome to India, import rates are exorbitant for everything.

If B2B you could pass it under the rates you had mentioned before, 22% for phones (if that's correct). But for personal imports I've had min ~45% up to ~110% regardless of the shipping method india post, dhl, aramex, fedex, etc. I thought some of these have their own custom agents but you won't get spared either way.
