Amex MRCC to Plat travel upgrade offer

Hello folks,

I’m getting an upgrade offer to Amex plat travel. I currently hold MRCC and was planning to surrender this card due to very low acceptance in offline spending at least in my locality.

Also the reward was not very good apart from the usual 18k or 24k collection. I prefer to use yes marquee or SBI cash back for any online purchase as they give better rewards.

Will it make any sense to upgrade to Plat Travel?

They are also offering 2000 Amazon GV and 10000 MR points on top of this.

Solution
Decide based on your spending pattern. If you are not likely to spend 4L, then do not opt. Relatively speaking, it's easy to spend 1.5L on MRCC and get fee total waiver. I too preferred to stay with MRCC and use Axis Airtel/Ace and SBI CB for offline expenses. All Amazon expenses met thru ICICI Amazon. So, did not find AmEx uphrades not so very compelling.

These are shopping vouchers not gift vouchers.

Is anyone else facing the same issue.?

Gv was available till last month
Yeah sorry, my bad
I got GV 2 months back n then I stopped using AMEX MRCC as I reached 24k points

Then may be they have discontinued the GV option… not sure

Now its showing gv in multiple of 250 for me too.

I guess may be there is some bug of quota system per day for Amazon Gv
I bought 2000*2 yesterday. after reading above comments for a minute I also thought mistaknly I bought ASV.. cross checked and thanksfully those are Apay only 😊
I still see all denominations available -
