Help with Best Use of MR Points, Edge Miles, and Credit Card Travel Perks (Domestic, Vietnam, and USA Trips Coming Up)

[sauravtuteja11]

Hi everyone,
I could really use your expert advice on maximizing the value of various points and vouchers across multiple credit cards. Here's my situation:

🔹 Points & Vouchers I Have:

1. American Express Membership Rewards (MR):
   • 100,000 MR points on my card
   • 35,000 MR points on my father's Amex card (can’t transfer directly, I know—but looking for combined strategy)
2. Axis Bank Edge Miles:
   • 10,000 Edge Miles (via Atlas)
3. HDFC Regalia Gold:
   • 8,000 points
4. Taj Hotels:
   • ₹10,000 Taj voucher

​

🔹 Upcoming Trips:

1. Domestic Trip – August 2025:
   • 2-night leisure trip to Uttarakhand or Himachal
2. Vietnam Trip – October 2025:
   • Flights are already booked
   • Need best options to redeem hotel points
3. USA Trip – Q1 2026:
   • Flights not yet booked
   • Would prefer Economy
   • Flexible with dates for better redemption

🔹 What I Need Help With:

1. Best redemption strategy for 100K + 35K Amex MR points
   • Should I wait for a transfer bonus to Marriott, Hilton, Flying Blue, Avios, etc.?
2. How to maximize 10K Edge Miles and 8K Regalia points?
   • Are there any current or upcoming transfer bonuses to partners like Accor, Marriott, Flying Blue, or Turkish Airlines?
3. Best way to use the ₹10,000 Taj voucher for a memorable 2-night stay in Uttarakhand or Himachal?
4. Any creative strategy to mix-and-match these points for either Vietnam hotel stays or upcoming USA flights?
5. General redemption suggestions for someone who prefers Economy class, boutique stays or 4-star properties, and doesn’t mind slight flexibility to maximize value.
