It’s a simple and straight-forward offer from Amex as usual and the return on spend too is similar to what we saw during Feb 2023 promo & Jan 2024 Promo.
This time I got a relatively high target after a very long time. And looks like Amex is trying to club in another offer with it to boost international spends.
That’s about 3% on regular spends and additional 1% back on foreign currency spends which I wouldn’t do even if they give 2%
And just as always, they’ve very many offer variants including the smaller targets that gets PVR vouchers as below, as received on someone’s card with very low spends.
Final Thoughts
Overall a decent offer with 3% return on spend, apart from the regular rewards. But seeing Amex reduce return on spend by 1% every year is bit sad to see.
Just incase if you’ve not received the offer, chances are you’re either spending too high (or) too low for them to offer you one.
If you’re new to Amex, this is perhaps the best time to apply for American Express Cards as you can avail them as First Year Free:
- Amex Plat Travel (First Year FREE)
- Amex MRCC (First Year FREE)
Did you receive the Amex spend based offer? Do let us know in the comments below.
Nice to see new offers from Amex
Nice pic of Taj Havelock, Seems am not at the receiving end of such offers for some time now..
Just got the offer on Plat Travel, 13K Taj voucher on 5L spend.
Hawwww… I didn’t get any such offer. Got the January promo and met the spend target as well.
Weird targetting.
recevied the offer
Spend the 50k and get voucher of Rs 1250/-
Spend 25k or more in Foreign Currency and get 250/- Voucher
not worth giving it go.
Haven’t got any of the offers (Jan, Feb and now) on the Amex MRCC. It has even become very bad to transact on MRCC. Earlier there were points given for paytm wallet load and utility payments. Now paytm wallet close and no points are even given for any transaction on paytm or any other such app. Having Infinia doesn’t help AMEX MRCC as i never feel like going for Amex as infinia is always having better rate of return normally and otherwise i find vouchers on smartbuy.
No offers on any card 🙁
Received only the international spends offer. Not bothering… Had received and met the target for the Jan promo.
Received the offer.
12K Taj voucher on 4L spend
Additional 2K coucher on 2L spend on foreign currency
He Sid,
Long time no see?
All good?
Anujay
All good, just travelling. 🙂
Very long vacation?
There were/are multiple trips back to back. 🫣
Haha. Enjoy!!!
Best way to burn up all the points.
Hey siddhart,
Been following you for a while, and fan of your posts.
I have question about utilizing the amex voucher.. As they can only be redeemed on Best Avelaible Rate , and i find most of them overpriced.. On BAR.
Which hotels would you recommend among taj , vivanta and seleqtions across India to get most value out of voucher.
You can use it on any of the Taj group properties. If a voucher is of amount X then from the total bill, that X amount is deducted flat, rest to be paid out of pocket. Only catch is you have to book it directly from Taj website/call. I’ve used Amex Taj vouchers extensively across multiple properties – Taj (Bekal, Fisherman’s cove), Vivanta (Srinagar), Seleqtions (Agra).
Can the Taj voucher be used to book for family members? Or is it only when we ourselves accompany them?
You have to be one of the guest to redeem it even if u use it on your family members.
Yes i got for 1 lakh spend.
