Conversion of reward points to hotels and airmiles is usually for people who like to travel and that too lavishly. It's not difficult for one to get MRCC as the requisite income is just 6lpa. So for someone belonging to this slabs of income , to transfer is MR to Airmiles or marriot bonvoy/Hilton won't be feasible as travel involves other significant costs other than flights and accommodation. Also one usually travels with friends and family so to accumulate that much MR seems pretty difficult. And someone might prefer buying an Amazon voucher that can help him purchase an iPhone than staying at marriot bonvoy or travelling in etihad

[@dugarniraj]

Sure. Why not calculate the value per point after the fee then? You’re better off with another card instead of amex.

[@amitabhmaheshwari]

@@dugarnirajNo fee needs to be paid on MRCC if spends are 1.50 L

Just for information, Most Marriott properties doesn’t offer breakfast/lunch/dinner complimentary if booked through points.

[@dugarniraj]

ya...you can go out and eat or at property..does not cost much no Narendra Ji? also, most JWs do. you gotta ask. other properties, you will get a discount.

[@imnarendrabhati]

@@dugarniraj Correct ✅

[@SanjayKumar-jz3gf]

I have MRCC(holding since 7 years) and Platinum Travel card(added this month). Till last year, I used to redeem it for credit statement(24k Points - 9k credit). But since this year credit statement has stopped. So this year, I redeemed 48k points for 20k Tanishq diamond jewelry voucher. Going forward will mostly like use it for Airmile conversion.

[@dugarniraj]

That’s good. The best redemption value is in hotels and flights mostly.

[@saikiran-mm5fy]

whats ur annual spending amount bro

[@SanjayKumar-jz3gf]

@@saikiran-mm5fy It depends. This year it's more. Otherwise I used to do 20k transaction pe rmonth on MRCC to get 24K points and redeem it for 9k credit statement.

[@hey.maverick]

@Sanjay Kumar: Since you’ve had both cards (Amex MRCC and Amex Travel), can you please tell us which one is better?

[@svsganesh818]

Please share me referal link for MRCC

[@subhadip25]

Considering that with 24K collection you get Rs. 14000 worth Taj Voucher (which is no frills direct Rs.0.60 per MR point) and again with Plat Travel you get Rs. 10000 taj voucher when you hit Rs.4 lakh spend, won’t stays in Taj properties make more sense? For every 24K MR points, you can just keep getting the 14k taj voucher which will give greater value. For Marriott properties, you will have to constantly check and try to find out the best conversion option. Add to this the fact that Marriott shifted to dynamic pricing few months back, you can expect the Bonvoy points value to be worth much less in peak seasons.

[@dugarniraj]

I have covered the 24k collection in another video. That’s only possible with MRCC. Number of taj properties is quite limited vs Marriott. Plus most taj properties are luxury ones.

[@amitabhmaheshwari]

MRCC fee is waived if you spend 1.5 L a year. And all points received from Amex gold, MRCC and smartearn can be clubbed. But no doubt transferring to Marriott Bonvoy is a great option.

[@dugarniraj]

Yes I’ve done a separate video on that

[@namanjindal3089]

Please make a video on a live demo of how to book tickets through Airmiles

Which airline?

[@namanjindal3089]

Can be from anyone just want to see how do you identify which airlines has which kind of seats present for miles, as I have heard there are very limited seats on each plane for that.

[@dugarniraj]

Which air miles do you have ?

[@namanjindal3089]

Currently no one. Have accumulated like negligible etihad and emirates miles from taking flights. Planning to take Magnus card to enter into miles game

I have around 1.2L points in MRCC... Haven't used any points yet... Thinking of using in Tanishq since im not in to travel.... After seeing how low I'm getting from amex I took Magnus just last week... But not sure how I can utilise the points to Airmiles... Need to go thru ur other videos as well to get better from Magnus...

[@Bibin_d]

In Tanishq I can get 50k worth vouchers for 1.2L points

Ok. That’s a good deal too. Or you can take amazon vouchers. But it never hurt to take your family on a holiday 🙂

Hello, Niraj. Helpful video. I just have one question. Does it make sense to pay abroad (POS transactions) using Amex Platinum Travel card, given that the forex markup fee is 3.5%? Or are we better off using a dedicated forex card? Thanks.

Instead of figuring out how you can earn the money, increase income and then go out and enjoy, you want to comfort yourself with the idea that no I can’t do it because I don’t have income.
