Reward Redemption Matrix




Joining / Renewal Fee Recovery Matrix

​

Flight Booking Comparison Example:

HYD to MAA on 31/01/2024 for one adult:

1) RewardZ = 3,477 - Refundable
2) Amazon = 3,386 - No cancellation
3) MMT = 3,686. - No cancellation

So, it’s kind of comparable with about 5% variation.

Explain it step by step in how you are getting 25% discount

Probably he's referring to joining benefit

Yes, understood..
You can use the same points for flight booking in the next 3 years and meanwhile you can use 15% GV.

It's all about how you want to maximise your returns.
All the best

I have 15k right now...when it's over, let's use the trick you did.
Or if you get any other good offer more than 15% before this, you can use it

when you applied this card, you might have some plan like where to use this card and which is the suitable voucher for redemption to you etc. stick to it, you don't need to redeem if you don't need right now.

Any travel plans nearby?

btw, reward points have 3 years validity and as a caution redemption options may change during this time, so take it as you see fit.

Yes I expect that in the near future the point value will reduce from 25 paisa to maybe 20 paisa, if redeemed for Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon Prime, Croma, Dominos, MMT - Hotels, Yatra.

Yes Bank may not even given notice for this point devaluation, so it's better to convert points to Swiggy or Zomato as soon as possible.
Don't keep points idle waiting for devaluation.

However the point value of 25 Paisa should remain if redeemed for air tickets, because the commission earned by Yes Bank on international tickets can go up to 17% of the base fare.

The point value is currently 15 paisa for Amazon, Flipkart and statement credit.
In the near future this may get reduced to 10 paisa just like Yes Reserv 3x, 5x

is kalyan jewelers has good designs jewelry?
How much they are taking for making charges?

Depending on how elaborate and intricate the designs are, the making charges can go upto 25%, either directly or hidden.
No way that the return on any credit card can even come close

kalyan jewelers egv option is also there na in yes portal
So if making charges are less than 25% then good deal i guess
Paying only for gold 15k
How to know the egv validity?

Try to buy only gold coins to avoid making charges.

However gold prices are at an all time high right now due to the Iran Israel conflict.
in case there is de-escalation then the prices may slide a bit

Only jewelry egv is available
So i guess they don't allow to buy gold coin with that voucher

Yes because Yes bank will not get the vouchers at a huge discount to face value if these vouchers were valid for buying gold coins.

the discount on the vouchers given by Kalyan jewellers to Yes Bank comes from the making charges charged to the customer

How to know the validity of gold egv ?

I suggest you don't try to earn points by spending on Yes Marquee.
Just keep it for non spend benefits, not for earning points.

Try to get higher than 10% return from the other cards in my thread
Cards giving 10% or more returns
