Amex has revised the referral benefits. Now it is 12000 points instead of 8000 points. 35000 for Platinum card.
If anyone looking for a special referral offer, please DM and will help you with the process.
If accumulation of points is the goal, then the earlier you start the better,
So you can definitely go for MRCC where you get first year free along with bonus points, if you apply through referral.
You can click on the link below (my signature) and apply for the card you want.
To begin with,it is ideal to go with Membership Rewards Credit card where you can earn Amex points with fixed transactions. If you are sure you will have atleast 4 lakh Rs. worth spending on credit card in a year...
I too am new to Amex ecosystem. To keep it simple I got the MRCC first and then the Platinum travel card.
Avoid the platinum reserve card as it does not make sense paying the fees. Platinum travel is probably the best card as many have mentioned. If you have abount 4 Lakh+ spends in a year...
After one week there was no update. Contacted Amex on chat and they confirmed that the Taj voucher is changed to MR points. So I activated and have started using the card.
@amitr29 called customer care. They asked how did I apply for the card. I mentioned Amex sales rep. Then they said that different application routes have different offers so unfortunately only vouchers possible. I said I understand but if they can check with senior team I will wait and then...
I am in the same boat so wanted input from you /other members:
Once I get Platinum charge card (applied through agent), before activating it, I want to ask Amex for MR points instead of Taj vouchers. I am hoping for 1.25L points but can settle for 1L points.
What would be the best...
Hi @BestBanker if I want to apply for Platinum charge card through C2C (infinia/reserve with 10+ lakh limit) , still annual income details is required? [Note: I had applied online directly on amex website about 30 days ago and it was declined instantly but did not get any application reference]
Meanwhile amex customer care says only gold charge card can be upgraded as part of offer and my platinum travel card card or any amex credit card cannot be upgraded.
Kaliyug. People who want to get the metal card and not activate it so they can use it to flaunt etc are getting the upgrade...
