I have Amex Platinum Travel plus add on along with MRCC (free companion card). Places where I use

Amex Plat Travel -
Wallet loads on primary and add on card - 8k per month
School fees (Amex gateway charges are lower than Visa/Master in my case)
Many hotels - they accept Amex or booking hotels online which cant be booked via HDFC smartbuy (i.e. Jungle lodges and resorts in south India)
Online transactions - Non amazon, non FK transactions

MRCC - Mostly Milkbasket wallet loads or 3rd Paytm wallet

For Gift vouchers, I mostly use HDFC smartbuy

Don't have much of a choice. School has tied up with Skolaro to manage fees, so it is through skolaro via Paytm or Atom gateway

 

[SkippyCavanaugh]

Paytm
Some gateways accept amex even though it isn't mentioned in their accepted list. I always enter the card number to see if it works.
Offline merchants wherever it is accepted. There is definitely an increase in merchants accepting amex.

In NCR specifically Gurgaon, all the reputed merchant accept amex hence in Delhi Ncr availability is not a big issue.

How do you get it?

i spoke to amex again today.. they are not giving any new companion cards now.. only way to negotiate is to call just before or after fee is levied and ask for spend based reversal or points in lieu of fees..

2-3 years back there was aggressive offer going on for free MRCC companion card with Amex Platinum card. I had ignored it couple of times, but later on took it... I spend only 6K per month on this card for Paytm loads reaching 24K milestone now in next month. I understand that now there is no such offer, I guess lot of people took it hence Amex is lightning the screws
