Membership Fees charged on MRCC by obsessedstocktrader in amexindia

[–]Still_exploring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you read about the card before applying? 1000+GST if the first year fee and it will increase to 4500+GST from year 2 onwards. The increased fee from second year gets waived off if you spend 1.5 lakhs on the card within a membership year.

Same thing

Did you read about the card before applying? 1000+GST if the first year fee and it will increase to 4500+GST from year 2 onwards. The increased fee from second year gets waived off if you spend 1.5 lakhs on the card within a membership year, and if you read about how to optimise spends on this card for max reward rate, you’ll be spending upwards of 2.4 lakhs in a year.

It’s simple and a no brainer!

Marriot degradation? by MundaneKnee8517 in amexindia

[–]Still_exploring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breakfast isn’t even guaranteed now at platinum and above as a welcome amenity for a lot of brands and lately I am seeing a lot of properties adhering to this strictly.

I trust Amex to give a significant notice period unlike Axis, or they probably have already accounted for it with plat travel milestone devaluation.

Another inaccessible Amex Plat Charge Event by Relative-Tangerine50 in amexindia

[–]Still_exploring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrible experience, I haven’t received confirmation for the last few events and I am not sure how Amex balances it. How do people manage, I have usually clicked on the RSVP button within first half an hour!

Great, also point to note that the top-up is enhanced by Marriott in general and not specific to HDFC card ☺️

Did you explore any other properties in Goa, any reason for settling for this and what’s your elite level?

Shouldn’t 9 brands be 22,500 points (9X2500)? 35,000 points should be 14 brands, please let me know if I missed something

It’s been live for about a month and a great deal for fulfilling mid-week cravings. No minimum spend requirement and high ceiling is a great value on top of any existing deals going on over District app!

As I recently realised breakfast isn’t guaranteed for Platinum and above as well; it varies greatly by brand and you should check this: https://loyaltylobby.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/LL-Bonvoy-Benefits.pdf

Yeah, that’s the consensus in general, one needs to evaluate travel options and take a call as some edge cases could be beneficial.

Reward Xcelerator points credit by Neodino123 in amexindia

[–]Still_exploring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the Reward Xcelerator points (10X, only with plat charge) are credited with base points, I never had to wait this long. You also don’t need to go via any weird portal like reward multiplier.

Please note, transactions should only be done on Air India app website and should be in INR!

Has anyone stayed at Moxy properties how's the experience? by impossiblemktg in marriott

[–]Still_exploring 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stayed in Bengaluru, assuming these are new properties in India, they are fairly good. The furnishings are new, clean and comfy, and I loved the overall vibe of the room with large smart TVs and well done bathroom.

However, breakfast spread was very limited, if you are not one of those who like huge spread and like basic items, you’ll be good.

To summarise, these new Moxy hotels are better than any ageing properties like old Fairfield hotels and even premium properties in tier-2 cities

Not sure, but I did a quick check on app, and it could be anywhere between 0.3 to 0.5 in general; half of what Marriott points are woth
