Platinum Charge is here - Getting my hands into AMEX cards finally

[RajBlr]

Though the cost is very high for PCharge, got myself into Gold card 1st and then MRCC and finally now Plat Charge as well after many thoughts and thoughts....

Thanks to @anirban.choudhury for getting me into Amex system.

1st learning was even entering CVV correctly from Visa/Master to Amex way of how and where the CVV of the card is 🤣





Tested recently Plat Charge at HP petrol and got 5% MR points.

Why not Platinum travel instead of Platinum charge?
It's much cheaper and that would complete the Amex trifecta

Revaluation - HP PAY voucher now on Gyftr via Smartbuy!

Just checked this morning, now we can buy HP pay vouchers with HDFC cards on Smartbuy. I don't know if they were available earlier. The usual rewards are applicable (upto 16.25% on INFINIA). No processing fee as of now. Looks like maximum we can buy is ₹10k a month.

Bangalore.

So far tried in 2 different HP bunk with no issues for the cards, except that they need to pull the Pine Lab (white color POS machine) once I say Amex card

Any idea on the maximum transaction amount per swipe for this benefit?

Depends upon the card variant it seems.

Gold Charge it has to be <5000 for 0% transaction charges and there is a cap limit on the MR points in a calendar month
Plat Charge - I do not see any such restrictions

Sources - Go to Foot note on the respective card links.

Seems I missed this viewing this benefit. Was missing for the past 6-8 months on my charge cards. Thank you.

Bonus MR points only on Plat Charge card that too in the ratio of 1 Point per 100.

So we get 5 MR points per Rs.100, good benefit considering Fuel.

Glad my post was useful and can add some MR points going forward with no Surcharge fees at HP
