What about your office? That is also not in a serviceable pin code?

I think even then they will check aadhar address during video kyc

No, my Adhaar is non serviceable as well, but for me, the proof was (Rent Agreement + Utility Bill) for residence address & Salary slip for Office address.

I am not sure if this has been posted already, I was checking AMEX app and just noticed that AMEX is now offering Rs 1000 Amazon Voucher on top of the 8k bonus points for its first approved referral. And from second referral onward the amount is probably a bit less, its a bit unclear, it does mention that we can earn upto Rs 5500 Amazon vouchers by making more approved referrals before Jan 31st.

In case anybody wants to apply for a new AMEX card, you can use my referral link and get AMEX MRCC / PLATINUM TRAVEL for the first year free and additional bonus points: https://americanexpress.com/en-in/referral/sAYANB8X7D?XL=MNMNS

Good to hear.. they are going very aggressive.. it seems.. they are now very serious about the Indian Market..
There may be some sort of devaluation coming soon, I suspect

They should re launch MRCC LTF offer.

They should re launch MRCC LTF offer.

Whatever they do, if they expand like this, some sort of devaluation coming soon

It seems they already started not waiving off annual fee for plat travel and Gold even after considerable spends . I read somewhere here

Anyway, i was never able to take benefit of that reversal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[MurlyLock]

ah okay, cool

Yeah, was also thinking the same that they may not waive charges especially if applied through referral, and not having very high spends. That's why haven't applied for gold card yet, the returns don't make sense with the fees and the rewards falls off after 72k.

The second, fourth and sixth referral don't have any additional vouchers.

Yes I saw that too somewhere in tf. But I haven't receive any such email.

Essentially to use Plat Travel MR points for Gold Collection, which is more rewarding instead of Plat Collection.

can you please explain how is it more rewarding if we apply for MRCC first?
as per MRCC TnC to collect 24000 coins we need 22 months [22000 coins + 2000 initial joining bonus] [assuming spending min 1500 INR per month],
So, did you meant it will benefit us if we pool the points from plat travel and mrcc?
