Did you get it shipped to an Indian address?
No, to US address.
I used address of a friend but was contemplating buying local address from a service provider and using forwarding services . Saved around 50-100 USD there.

It's been 3 years since me using an Amex US card the benefits are unbeatable. Forex charge 0, You earn 3x points of Travel, dining, rideshare.

So it's 3x on 82 INR.

US concierge service is dope.
You can even book short distance flights at cheap rates using points only no taxes. Like BKK to Vietnam, BKK to Singapore, Hanoi to DPS and much more. if you compare it will Krisflyer mile you have to pay $50-80 taxes on top of what you likes points.
Anyone using Green Card?
iā€™m holding it from last 1 year, i had gold card before that and downgraded to green card as fees was higher,

tell me if i spend in foreign currency on travel, do i still get 3x points?

ps iā€™m holding this card just because donā€™t want to close my membership of us amex card. another one iā€™m holding is blue cash card.
