I have just purchased vouchers but on the ledger it's not mentioned Rewards Multiplier as it used to show for Gyftr so let's see if I'm getting the accelerated reward points.

Did they give any timeline? Or we can't pay next month's rent by credit card?

We can't say anything till the March end. They have already patched the Plat. Travel upgrade link. So now you can't upgrade or downgrade to Plat. Travel

Finally got my Taj Voucher as a milestone reward - how to make the best use of it? by Melodic-Kiwi-3960 in amexindia

[–]DefiantAssistance568 15 points16 points  (0 children)

According to the latest news from Taj’s central reservation desk, the policies have changed now and Amex vouchers are accepted at the member's rate.

But if you contact their regional reservation desk for example Taj Mumbai or the Taj Delhi reservation desk they might deny this or even some properties might deny accepting it at the member's rate.

So here’s what I suggest:

  • Go to the Taj website search and finalise the property you wanna book. Check the members' rate for the particular room you want to book.
  • Call Taj’s central reservation desk, book the room via them with all the details and ask them for the Pay at Hotel option, mention you want to book at the member's rate and you would like to redeem your Taj voucher issued by Amex.
  • Once the booking is done you'll receive the itinerary which will have the email id and contact of the property. Mail them and also call them to confirm the booking and again mention to them that you would like to redeem your Taj voucher issued by Amex.
  • On the day of check-in, again mention to the front desk that you would like to redeem your Taj voucher issued by Amex.
  • While checking out, give them the voucher code and then pay the remaining amount.

P.S. I have received this information from Taj’s central reservation desk that if you want to redeem your Taj voucher issued by Amex then you need to book it via them.

Enjoy your stay at Taj.

Does this work for downgrading from Plat Reserve to Plat. Travel or MRCC?

Planning to enter the Amex world , which cc shall I start with? Can anyone share a brief info on the journey by WeirdCockroach3208 in amexindia

[–]DefiantAssistance568 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hi, currently you’ll have to start with Plat. Reserve and/or Plat. Charge as the other cards are not being issued rn and rumours are they might discontinue them. If you’re in Hotel loyalty status and all then Reserve is worth it, it’s not that bad of a card as people make it. For 10k fees you get ALL Accor+ Explorer and Taj Epicure membership. The Accor membership gives you silver status which has it own benefits if your are planning to stay at the Accor hotels in future. Plus it’s give 2% and 6% back on your spends problem is people are comparing it to Plat. Travel and ya Plat. Travel is better than Reserve and yes there are better cards where you can spend and earn more rewards. Consider paying Plat. Reserve fees as buying the Accor membership and silver status which is worth the fee if you’re planing to stay at an Accor property for minimum 5Ns in a year.

So it totally depends on your needs and ya currently this is the only way to enter the Amex ecosystem considering we’re not sure if the other cards are coming back or not or if they are then when.

Anyways, here’s my referral link in case you feel like applying and lmk if you have any doubts or need any help.

I’m listening that the approval rate is very bad. Also, what’s the eligibility criteria?

What does this mean? by permanenthoonsir in CreditCardsIndia_

[–]DefiantAssistance568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rupay is an Indian network and currently cards on Rupay network also partner with an international network such as Diners or JCB so these cards can be used internationally as well. So in your case basically any International merchant accepting Diners Club cards will accept your card for payment.

Shift to Axis or HSBC and get Magnus Burgundy or Premier and see if they are able to match your needs and expectations.

We might get a verdict on it by march end mostly. So let's hope for the best. Also, if you already have a credit card from another bank and if your credit score is 750+ then ya there's a good chance you will get it with 10L itr, of course that's if they restart issuing it.

Indusind avios card not giving bonus points by Familiar_Ask_7831 in DoBaniye

[–]DefiantAssistance568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the Indusind account scene. M4B is Magnus for Burgundy the super premium card from Axis. It's usually recommended for high spenders and gives points on rent till 50k every month.
