The annual fee for my Gold Charge Card was charged yesterday, but no renewal offer was provided except a downgrade to MRCC. I opted for the downgrade, assuming the Gold Card would be closed and MRCC issued automatically. However, they shared a separate application link for MRCC instead.

I have around 1.8L flight booking expense in this week.
The doubt I have is I have Amex Plat Travel (second year fees to be levied on 8th August 2025), HDFC Regallia Gold LTF and ICICI saphiro LTF.
I have doubt which card I should use?
Should I close Amex and use Regallia Gold or pay 5000+GST to Amex and use Amex card.

I am confused in use of Amex of Regallia.
Sapphiro I have no idea.

@Ram1 @HumorSimpson ?

Its upto u man.
Whether to give amex another chance or not.

Saphiro spending is waste for sure.

In regalia gold, u might get some rewards and milestone, and may be helpful if u r targeting infinia.

Regarding amex, if u didn't complete 4L, better to do it and get milestone and decide whether to stay or close.
U have almost 15days to close, also try retention now itself

I asked retention offers yesterday they denied completely.

Try again, other executives might offer

 

[vijaypathak077]

downgrade is also not working, As they are not accepting any new application also denying annual fee waiver for travel card

 

[TripleAce]

Can’t use it at most of the POS and now no retention benefits could kill the card!

 

[TripleAce]

One more reason not to retain!!

You did not mention if you have reached 4L milestone or not. If not you may try to meet milestone to earn nearly 50k MR points. Then you may decide close or continue. But transfer points to Marriott Bonvoy or any airlines you freer before closing Amex Card.

You may think of closing Saphiro LTF to avoid cluttering of cards.

Yes Regalia Gold is stepping stone to DCB or Indinia based on your spending. You may do your travel spends on Smartbuy postal. It's reasonably better idea

Yes I have completed 4L milestone for the first year and have around 50k points.

Now mostly will close the card after redeeming the MR points as I find AMEX not useful.

If I am moving to us will this card be transferred in us based card ?
