Axis Atlas edge miles clarification

[PrabhuP]

Hello ,

I am planning to get axis Atlas Card ,when I spoke with customer care they told that I will be getting 1 edge miles per 100 rs spend on domestic and 2 edge mile per 100 for foreign transactions.

But as per their terms and conditions in their site it mentioned as 2 edge miles pee 100 rs.

I am confused.


Can you please anyone clarify.

Hi,
Could you please tell, if we can find the Edge Miles credited for transaction wise. Similar to what we get on other cards, where each transaction has eligible reward points credited(Amazon pay, etc).

Also, what does the Atlas Miles section have, when clicking on mobile app/ net banking. ...

Thanks.

How many Edge Miles per 100 Rs. would be provided for foreign transactions for direct hotel/flight bookings? 2 or 5?

5 miles per hundred for both foreign and Indian, but you will lose 4.13% forex markup

That's great.

5 edge miles -> 10 Accor points Worth ~ 18 Rupees

18 Rs - 4.13 Rs -> 13.87 Rs is still a good return if used for Accor.

That is correct on paper but for all practical purposes everybody considers Accor points to be worth Rs.1, because the hotel room rates are inflated to the extent of 80%.
But not as much as Marriott room rates

Please elaborate more on how room rates are inflated.

Here's the link to this guide: all-accor-the-ultimate-guide


Also, Accor provides "Best price guarantee" in case cheaper price is available elsewhere.

No, It's inflated compared to similar standard (non Accor) hotels in the same location.

It is not inflated compared to the price of Accor on other websites.

However the inflation may not be to the extent of 80% but everywhere all card experts and travel card reviews value Accor points at 1 rupee for whatever reason.

Accor is anyway much better than Marriott.
Marriott rooms require 19000 to 55000 Marriott points per room night

Got your point, thanks! I'll consider this aspect as well.
