The post you quoted is fairly old one. At that time, Probability of getting ₹1-2 value per MB Point was higher. When Marriot Bonvoy having gone fully dynamic, this has drastically reduced. At the same time, 20-30 Paise is a too low value for MB Point to be considered. I would still value MB...

I totally agree with the Hotel Switching thing. I stopped frequent hotel changes for over 5 years now. My general requirement now is 3 Nights in one City (And in one Hotel), two is an absolute minimum. Did Bali & Mauritius both with 5 Nights Stays in a Single Hotel in both destinations and...

No. You cant transfer CV Points to any other Hotel or Airline Partners.

If it was easy, anybody would do it. ;) Awardhacker.com too is far from perfect. Trust only Airlines Websites when deep diving into the world of Airmiles.

Axis Atlas - Upto 7 Miles per Rs. 100 (Depending on Milestones being hit) For those mentioning Amex, Income Tax website does not accept Amex Cards.

Few Corrections needed to the above table IMO: - The Smart Transaction Range of Gold Charge and MRCC needs to be updated as 1000/5000 and 1500/5000. - Fee Waiver for Amex MRCC is 150K. - Gold Charge officially doesn't have a Fee Waiver. Needs a disclaimer - Ideal for Monthly spends needs...

Combination of Amex Platinum Travel & Amex MRCC would be better than Platinum Charge card even for higher fuel spends.

Book 2 Adults & 1 Child (7 Year Old) and then drop an email to the hotel with the booking reference and request them to update the booking with 2nd Child. If you need an additional bed, mention in the email accordingly. There will be charges for the additional bed.

Why would you want to go that route anyways? Have you earned lot of miles by flying? If yes, they could have been better credited to some other program. The Mileage requirement on Asiana Club is higher than many programs with no direct CC transfer partner. Only Marriott Bonvoy Points can be...

Star Alliance booking doesnt count. Needs to be Turkish's own metal.

If you have never booked any redemption ticket for yourself from Turkish Account, then you cant book for family members online. You need to call Turkish Customer Support and book.

Earned a lot more points in 2023 than what was burnt in the year.

No. It was not a Stopover. Had mentioned Single Itenary in the Comments column but somehow the cells demerged during formatting. Mixed Fare Class booking on Singapore Airlines needs to be done over phone call only. Over phone, BOM-SIN First Class and SIN-SGN Business Class is possible at 58,500...

The Frequent Flyer Program is already mentioned. Mentioning Credit Card doesnt make sense as these Miles come from a combination of HDFC, Axis and Amex Cards depending on requirements and offers. Reason for mentioning Infinia specifically was because it was a Smartbuy redemption and not thru...

2023 was probably the best year in terms of Points Earning which eventually translating to lot of Redemptions. The list of 2023 Redemptions was quite long: Flight Redemptions (13 Flights) Total Points Redeemed - 322,909 Total Taxes Paid - ₹36,048 Hotel Redemptions (9 Hotel Nights) Total...
