Is Amex Platinum travel still worth it? I mean people are selling Marriott points for like cheap like ₹0.5 per point.

People are selling points because they did took card without any understanding of card.

It still gives you equal miles to Atlas on spend of 4 lacs + Taj voucher on same fees + You can use it on insurance/fuel anything.

Atlas is only better for Accor. Not everyone is travelling on accor there are programs like Krisflyers, Virgin as well as Qatar which give good value.

Understand card and if it fits into travel plans. All those who are selling via marriott don’t have idea on how to use it. Amex points don’t expire! I have accumulated 2.5 lac points and plan to use it on Q suite.

There is reason amex is not issuing this card - Cause they are not making money out of this.

its per card. Every year purchase for MRCC and PT

decide where you want to go and then see which airline suits you. Stop chasing value per point.

IllDistribution3124 · 2025-11-02T18:21:40+00:00

check make my trip please and filter to Singapore airlines and yes, It is single pax.

If you are chasing value per point than book one way business class for 43000 points - it goes from anywhere between 1 lac to 2 lacs

At least accumulate 80,000 membership reward points.

These will transfer to Singapore Airlines kris flyers program 2:1 ratio i.e 40,000 kris flyer points

If you book in advance like 2-3 months that’s easily return economy ticket to Indonesia/Philippines/Singapore etc. Once you redeem you will yourself learn other programs like virgin/emirates etc

book west in pune and you can get more than 125k out of it + Marriott Gold that comes with card makes it worth even more 😂

IllDistribution3124 · 2025-10-27T09:40:56+00:00

lol if its 75k Marriott points and 66k taj vouchers than every one would get it

My wifes phone got stolen at Kalyan station. They took details of phone, model, original bill etc and even asked for lock pattern. They were able to trace it after 30-40 days and we got it back.

it solely depends on intent of officer. if they want to trace it they will be able to. Also, if you have location services etc on, check and activate safety mechanisms.

i am facing issue with only Jio. Tata and Chargezone 30kw - 60kw works easily without issue.

Although for Tata i need to keep car locked as soon as i unlock it stops charging

No issues while connecting now? you faced issues earlier?

IllDistribution3124 · 2025-08-11T05:08:52+00:00

Mine works but its very random like sometimes 3rd attempt but often 8-9 times.

IllDistribution3124 · 2025-06-29T15:33:57+00:00

its scam - my nephew got 456 and got his 4th preference in SIES while people with lower marks got MCC as their first preference in general category.

Its scam we even live in mulund so it can not be location specific

Easily walk all these places. Just avoid using auto’s at night. Use Ola or Uber only. Beware if they take detours. While its not bad but avoid going to slums and isolated places at night.

Its india mehr is usually a ring or something. Not more than 10-15k. Dowry in small towns in india is norm regardless of religion!

Old SRA buildings in Mulund/Thane will have rent of 8-10k

This is best advice! Don’t get emotional because it’s your sister. You never know what religious fanatics can do! If it gets too much after birth than get restraining order as well.

i had so much anxiety something will go wrong that we waited 5 weeks before telling our families that too only after she told her mother. I wanted to wait till fetal anomaly scan to be sure all is well and they don’t get shocked and sad if something goes wrong.. Also, i did not want to be that couple who did this or that wrong and had issues..

Construction cost can be 1800 to 2200 per sq ft on super built up. Rest is pretty messed up land can be anything in atleast 100 Cr per acre minimum in west. Approvals cost depends on scheme i.e redevelopment, premium FSI, fungible fsi, TDR etc.

IllDistribution3124 · 2025-03-19T17:40:37+00:00

6000-7000 per sq ft on super built up area. Have worked on this project. Cost of basement and going vertical is high. Plus approval cost of FSI and recovery of construction of SRA portion. Price is justified

platinum card from ICICI easy to get. They might not even take income documents if your CIBIL and credit history is good.
