I know, I can easily do 25k APay a month and do 3L and the rest 1L could be miscellaneous but I am not a Marriot person so I prefer airmiles more and hence if I can get 10% from Magnus+ on Apay, that would be enough for me with Infinia. MB is good for deals like the recent Masai Mara for 90k/5D stay. Still deciding.

What exactly is apay? Is it Amazon pay ? How do you guys use it to pay stuff off. I normally average around 40k for all the bills n purchases, but I normally just do the net banking stuff. Trying to understand how a credit card would help. As of now I have a hdfc regalia, Citi indianoil and Amazon icici

Amazon icici will fetch you 2% on most utility bills and 5% on amazon purchases(If you are a prime member). the 2-5% cashback will be transferred to your amazon pay balance within a week of your statement generation..

You need to get Plat Travel atleast. Buy 25k Apay voucher and use it to pay your utility bills. If you need more, then get another card.

You can get upto 10% return in form of Marriot points or airmiles. This is specifically for people looking to travel or stay instead of getting cashback points.

Good.

I applied MRCC for wife and Smartearn for me. If experience goes good with Amex will upgrade then. 

Remember to sign up the MRCC for both offers i.e., 1K bonus points on 20K monthly spends and 1k bonus in 4 transactions of 1500 each per month. If you don't get the offer email, then out some spends on the card and reach out to Amex Chat.

Plat Travel. Fee is 5k/year. Post referral it becomes first year free.

You are confusing it with Plat Charge.

Got it. Can you explain what benefits you're targeting from it? I keep thinking about upgrading my MRCC, but never found a good fee/reward ratio yet.

Quite simple. 

Buy 25k Apay vouchers per month i.e. 3L/yr.

Do another 1L spend. Preferably on Gyftr.

Total 4L.

Yields 64k MR points and 10k Taj Voucher.

 

Reward rate you can calculate based upon airmiles/MB points value.

Wont make sense to pay that much fee unless you are in the airmiles game.

Maybe he wants to be in it.

I am looking to make a redemption for this November/December. Will post about it, maybe then people will be more open to it.

Also, it's airmiles or hotel points, accor/ITC/MB.

Any banks offering non otp authentication process ?

I don't think why you even want that unless you are overseas. Even then, OTP doesn't require a travel pack.

You can try to register for verified by visa for a constant PIN setup but it's touch and go with every bank.
