Should I go for paid Magnus for Burgundy for moderate spends?

[A Little Extra is Good]

To all #CCGeeks,
I just had a few questions about Magnus for Burgundy, that perhaps might help everyone!

1. My expenses are primarily through GVs. So is it possible to maximize/concentrate spends in 2 or 3 months, by buying GVs from different sites like Amazon, Woohoo, Zingoy, etc.? Will they count towards the monthly milestone of 1.5 lakhs?
2. Are travel edge prices competitive?
3. After Accor, which is the next best redemption option(in terms of value back) ? For someone who doesn't travel a lot.
4. Has anyone recently got this card ltf? My RM says not possible. I am sceptical.

Fyi- my current spends are on Infinia. I already have a Burgundy relationship in Axis.

Hey #CCGeeks,
Any thoughts?

1. Yes
2. No
3. Accor for A Group, ITC for B group no other option is good enough.
4. Lifetime free offer is over long ago, so not possible.
now 38400 joining fee and renewal fee

Thank you so much.
Just one more question, any cap on buying GVs? Primarily looking for Amazon Pay and Amazon Shopping Vouchers.

I got it recently. Had to deposit 10L in a savings account. After 2 months, called customer care and I was eligible. Had to pay the fees though.

If I may ask, did you get it for any specific transaction with a bigger amount or for general spends?

I had a large number of points already in Axis. Made sense to get it to convert from 5:2 to 5:4.

I beg to differ on Point 3
The best point conversion is always to airlines points and the best value is taking business class flights with these point.

For example, I converted to Qatar airways and flew business class from Doha- New York- Doha the cost of the ticket was 6 Laks plus for which i spend approx total 140K Avois (approx 170k Edge) . When booking business class flights the value of points double 2X to 4X times of booking economy, depending on the flights.
This kind of value we would not get on any hotel conversion.
