Does anyone know if it applies to EMI Transactions as well
Does AMEX allow the linking or clubbing of the Platinum Travel credit card with other credit/charge cards on the AMEX online account ?
Do all the points accrued from the Platinum Travel card get added to a single membership rewards point balance? If yes, then how does the expiry of the whole points balance (i.e., the MR points earned from other AMEX cards) work? If no, how does the redemption work in such a trifecta?
I have a Platinum charge card, a Platinum Reserve credit card and now I want to apply for a Platinum Travel card as well.
But I am unable to understand how the MR points system works in this type of a 3 card set-up with AMEX.
No. Plat Travel MR points don’t get clubbed with other Amex cards like Plat charge, MRCC etc.
You can call up the customer service, and they can merge the MR account for your cards. Worked for me on a trifecta of: Platinum Reserve, Gold Charge and MRCC.
Since the points don’t expire, it works well. The highest of the three cards will have the details in the statement with breakdown of how much was earned on each of the cards.
Zomato is offering 15% cash back for certain restaurants in Mumbai for a minimum order of INR 700. This is in form of Zomato cash expiring in 7 days. So you can double dip using AMEX has the mode of payment.
