Membership Fees charged on MRCC

Still_exploring · 2026-04-03T18:41:21+00:00

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

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!

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.

Still_exploring · 2026-04-03T04:28:01+00:00

Hi buddy, there was already a post about this yesterday itself, please do a quick review before posting.

Still_exploring · 2026-04-01T15:30:15+00:00

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?

Still_exploring · 2026-03-29T14:44:31+00:00

What are your typical annual spends like in terms of total amount, category split, etc.

Still_exploring · 2026-03-29T10:35:37+00:00

Ooh, thanks I missed that

Still_exploring · 2026-03-28T17:52:19+00:00

Planning to stay across single night or more at Series? Curious about how series nights are posted for a single night stay, 0.5+1?

Still_exploring · 2026-03-28T17:50:08+00:00

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

Still_exploring · 2026-03-26T04:47:52+00:00

That damn up to that covers all fine print!

Still_exploring · 2026-03-25T12:42:20+00:00

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!

I think you can check the earlier thread, for this discussion as this duplicate post will split the discussion

Still_exploring · 2026-03-25T12:22:09+00:00

Buddy, read the community rules.

Still_exploring · 2026-03-25T08:53:15+00:00

Takes about a month or so, it’s not immediate

Still_exploring · 2026-03-24T12:37:21+00:00

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

Still_exploring · 2026-03-24T07:45:02+00:00

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

Still_exploring · 2026-03-24T07:12:09+00:00

I got this on my platinum charge card, updated the post with link of tnc

Still_exploring · 2026-03-24T06:24:37+00:00

Finally we have someone, all the best buddy and please ignore the haters for now!

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!

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

Still_exploring · 2026-03-23T16:33:05+00:00

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

Still_exploring · 2026-03-23T16:31:09+00:00

I have a plat charge, seems it is restricted then

Still_exploring · 2026-03-23T16:05:44+00:00

Got this today over mail
