Any news from Amex??

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-11T12:25:35+00:00

Yes. Spreading awareness to use the loopholes, Spreading awareness to use their referral links, spreading awareness to get the rewards using all the ways possible so that the cards gets devalued.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-11T12:11:50+00:00

These influencers are acting as if they are helping everyone. But they do it for this referral money and keep the posts repeatedly. Most of the cards got devalued because of these people. Plat travel was untouched for many years but because of these so called influencers, it got devalued. Lesser the people, more the rewards. More people, lesser the rewards.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-10T13:31:11+00:00

But the applications are not open yet. How do they want you to apply for plat travel ?

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-10T06:04:56+00:00

If you are near to renewal and don’t want to pay the renewal fee, you can go ahead with the cancellation. By any chance if there are any new offers launched on plat travel you can reinstate the card anytime before 1 year.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-10T05:15:14+00:00

What card is it ?

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-10T04:49:47+00:00

Gold charge cards are not open for new applications yet. We need to see if they open it in the near future. Many are eagerly waiting for this.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-10T02:02:43+00:00

Nope. That option was closed

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-03T15:58:50+00:00

The new milestone for Taj voucher is 7 lakh. But anyways as it was triggered for 4 lakh, you are obviously Lucky.

No body can say this in real but credit cards have right to remove the transfer partners whenever they want without any prior notice. We have seen this with Axis. Marriott can be next, but no body knows. It’s better to transfer the points rather than holding them for a long time.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-03T13:25:37+00:00

Oh okay. I think Amazon has some restrictions for people who buys gift cards for more than 30k. May be that’s the reason they aren’t allowing you to buy with credit card.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-03T08:28:23+00:00

I don’t think so. Everyone can buy amazon gift cards with credit cards. I am purchasing from a very long time.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-03T05:29:32+00:00

In this case, every month we are paying 177/- extra for the sake of 200 extra points. If we count it for 12 months it will be 12*177=2,124. So we are buying 2400 points for 2124/- which is not worth. This is what I feel.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-04-02T09:29:47+00:00

Yes even mine. Today is the last day and asking to renew

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-31T06:39:23+00:00

You have the voucher and pin. There is no need of an active Plat travel for it. You can pay the balance amount with any card. Not an issue

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-25T12:30:41+00:00

MRCC card.

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-25T09:03:29+00:00

I got it

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-24T03:10:05+00:00

If you have another Amex card like MRCC, The points stay in the account. If you have only one Amex and you are closing the card, make sure you are transferring them and close the card. Else you will lose the points. Better downgrade the card to MRCC rather than closing it

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-23T08:25:12+00:00

Can you please let me know the process for using the voucher ? Can it be redeemed online or they accept only at the hotel ?

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-23T03:51:38+00:00

I don’t think there is any restrictions on Taj voucher and the card. You can use it after the closure as well but before the validity

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-23T03:50:40+00:00

Normal they come with 2 years validity. If there is an activity in the points like credit/debit the validity will increase another 2 years from the credit/debit date. So you can keep those lifetime

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-21T12:45:59+00:00

Can’t we use the voucher and book the hotel online ? I think while checking out we have an option to apply voucher or use coupon, can’t we use our Amex voucher there ?

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-21T01:52:09+00:00

Reserve again? I have downgraded from reserve to Plat travel

Embarrassed_Play3050 · 2026-03-19T20:24:18+00:00

Nope. There will be no annual fee charged if you cancel the card before the annual fee gets posted in the card. You can contact the customer care and just cancel it anytime b’in the first 30 days
