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.

Anyone received redemption fee mail for 'Marquee'?

Post in thread 'YES Marquee vs YES Reserv 3x vs YES Reserv 5x'

Tuesday at 11:48 AM

They introduced the convenience fee (in other words 'reward redemption fee') where its useful most. Thankfully, excluded EGV otherwise 0.10p will become even less.

Posting in the correct thread.

I collated list of gift vouchers available currently. Some completely useless ones excluded. List is getting decreased day by day.

@0.25=Taj Experiences, Reliance Digital, Netmeds, Reliance Jewels (Store), Reliance Mart, Reliance Smart Point, Reliance Trends, Reliance Footwear, W, Apollo Pharmacy (Store), Bata (Store), Hidesign(Store)
@0.15=Kalyan Jewellers, Dominos Pizza, Home Center
@0.1=Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Yatra (Voucher), Lifestyle Online, Jockey (Online)

Flight and hotel still remains at 0.25 but now with redemption fees for flights.

Also sharing point value based on where you spend and redeem.

1) Online Spends - 36 YES Rewardz Points / ₹200 (4.5% for 0.25, 2.7% for 0.15, 1.8% for 0.1)
2) Offline Spends - 18 YES Rewardz Points / ₹200 (2.25% for 0.25, 1.35% for 0.15, 0.9% for 0.1)
3) Select Category - 10 YES Rewardz Points /₹200 (1.25% for 0.25, 0.75% for 0.15, 0.5% for 0.1)

Very soon this card is going to be dead, the way it is getting devalued.

Can someone update the details on main page and add if anything missed

So for club vistara, how much is 1 CV point to rupee ratio?

Value only you can decide, I'll give you an idea..

Ex: Delhi to Hyd

Required CV points for award flight (note: availability as per the day you booked)

Book Flights & Check In Online | Vistara

Enjoy 3 cabin classes, gourmet food, complimentary inflight entertainment, award-winning inflight service and more! Book your ticket with https://www.airvistara.com.

www.airvistara.com

Economy = 5000 CV
Premium = 8500 CV
Business = 18000 CV

+ Taxes (in this example take 700, it varies)

Now, to get the value we need to find actual value we might pay if we don't have CV points..



Same day Vistara charging ₹ 5,902 for Economy.

1 CV = 1.04Rs.

or 2 days...

Compared to Vistara cards this conversion is better. But not every spend will fetch 36.

Sir the point required for air india flights are higher. What would be the rupee value of an air india point?

 

[helloworld]

Sir the point required for air india flights are higher. What would be the rupee value of an air india point?

1st sentence answer your query.

Value only you can decide, I'll give you an idea..

The value of points is not fixed and can vary depending on several factors, including: time, weather, situation, festival, day, etc.

During Peak Season: The value of 1 point can be ₹3.
During Regular Times: The value of 1 point can drop as low as ₹0.10.

When you are ready to redeem points on a specific day:

1. Check Air India: Look at the points required for a booking on the Air India website.
2. Check MMT etc.: Find the price of the same booking.

From these two, you can determine how much 1 Air India point equals in rupees.

Tip:

• Until you actually redeem your points, assume the value is ₹0.25 per point (this is the rate that YES Bank provides).
• Keep in mind that the value can increase during redemption depending on the factors mentioned earlier.

If you're happy with ₹0.25 per point, you'll likely be satisfied during redemption, as it could be higher. If not, this card might not be the best fit for you.

Does anybody know if the reward points acquired on the rupay companion card are credited to the same marquee account or separately?

 

[anveshi]

Does anybody know if the reward points acquired on the rupay companion card are credited to the same marquee account or separately?

I don't 'know', but think those would be separate since -
1) The card is not linked with the Marquee card
2) Redemption rates, options and charges are as per the card - so, doesn't make sense for Yes to let someone use points of another card with the Marquee points
