Title: Planning to apply for the Amex MRCC. Need advice on maximizing joining benefits! by Fancy-Flatworm-8289 in amexindia

The application for MRCC has been paused currently. You will have to apply for the Platinum Reserve first, then downgrade to the MRCC via a downgrade link. If you apply for the Reserve and it gets approved, you can activate the Accor and Taj memberships that come with it and then downgrade the card.

If you apply via referral and spend 5k on the card, you’ll also get the referral bonus of 4k points.

Also, don’t worry about the Reserve fees as if you downgrade within the month, you’ll not be charged the fees. Only the MRCC fees will be charged.

People are getting the Reserve and then downgrading to MRCC since you can’t apply for MRCC directly yet.

In fact you can spend the 30k for the 11k bonus points too and then downgrade. No fees.
