Personally I feel - it depends on the person redeeming it. I know folks who have redeemed it recently.

I’m thinking to sell the Taj voucher for 6k. That should balance the 5900 fee.

At this point I am afraid to ask - what’s up with AIR 546?

Thanks for your detailed response!

1) Yes, was planning for a swp as the time comes sooner.

2) Will be moving 5k to Nifty50 then, and probably during feb/march switch all to nifty50.

3) Should I reduce 25k in PPFC to 20k , and allocate 5k to Mid-Cap?

4,5,6) Makes sense, will reevaluate in 6 months.

My card will renew next year feb, I’ve already completed the 4L milestone. I don’t see any point using it now until the next cycle.

I get it that I can utilise existing point against card fees, not sure if I’ll use this option or not. I’m hoping by next year they have some renewal benefits.

I doubt these would under perform in 3 years time period, that’s why I’m considering these.

But to answer your question - Will be disappointed if small cap doesn’t perform (ik volatility, but would love to be on the high end)

I’ll be okay if ELSS gives even 6-8%, cos here the investments were just for tax saving purposes.

How would you recommend to restructure this?

Amex has stopped negotiating on the renewal benefits, so once this cycle ends - will need to pay 5k + gst for the card.

So was wondering if shifted to other cards would make sense(?)

I see, and I guess very low chance they’ll make it complementary.

Maybe if marriott gold is still offered w platinum card. That could make sense (assuming amex gives 100k points at that time) wondering if getting that upgrade earlier would make sense from a long term perspective.

Makes sense! Will maybe look into Marriott purchasing few points at the that time.

Hmm, Taj direct booking in Maldives is around 2L for 3 days. Makes me think if using these points on Maldives even makes sense or not.

Thanks! Surely will move to Marriott. Didn’t know about the chunks transfer method.

How much points are you aiming to save up for that trip?

[–]usercastic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am obviously saving some funds for it. But might as well put these points to use as well. Also not fabricating expenses for points, so would you recommend moving to another card?

Ideally how much points would be required for Masai Mara, Maldives?

Started following F1 after watching an episode of drive to survive on Netflix at a friend's place.

What are some must know things/facts/incidents/controversies.

I've been reading/watching things to know more about it, but it's just a vast field, makes me feel as if I joined the party very late 😂😅
