Banz Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 What's a good card for travel (train/flight/hotel) bookings? Preferably something that also doesn't incur fuel surcharge.

Don't think the points would transfer over anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Infinia cards are capped at 15,000 bonus reward points per month; and you will get a maximum of 7,500 reward points on a day. They have deprecated the value of the card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I have 6416 points in my HDFC Regalia. Is it too much or too little? Never used points? What is the best usage of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSpymaster Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Keep saving for the larger offers. I have about 30k+ on Amex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can through the catalogue but since Regalia points are worth 0.5 at best, maybe vouchers will be the best option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSpymaster Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Got it. I have enrolled for all Amex bonus point schemes. This gives 1K points on 20K spends per month anyways, which is a good to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinJo Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thanks not sure why it has to be enrolled is there a catch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSpymaster Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Maybe to help Amex keep the number of people availing this benefit low? Some may not sign up and numbers reduce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used points? What is the best usage of these? I redeem them against flight tickets where I get about 50% of the points value. So 6500 on will cut down about INR. 3250 worth of on a ticket. Previously used to get Amazon / e-comm shopping vouchers where you get 25-30% of the points value in cash. I think i burnt some 35-40k points for a INR. 10,000 voucher last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaka_messi Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 HDFC is offering a free upgrade on the credit card; 1) Regalia International Visa 2) 6E XL Visa Which card should I pick? I do not travel that much using Indigo (local) and they seem to be useless for international travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
