    Sometimes the points required to book on marriot bonvoy is 2-4X of the amount in INR, so 1:1 rewards ratio goes for a toss. And they don't offer breakfast at their properties at least in India (confirmed by customer care)

    yes, some hotels have a very bad point to room rate ratio. I stayed in JW chandigarh - room was 11k INR and it was 29k points per night. but i have also stayed in some properties where rates were good. JW Pune gave me room for 15k points and room rate was INR 20k. In both properties - i got free breakfast - you just need to ask politely. JW mumbai did not give me free food though. with amex - you are a gold elite member - so you do get an edge.

    Hello Niraj, How are you? I had HDFC DCB LTF, In March, my RM helped me procure the INIFNIA Metal chargeable card. Now the issue is 10L spends is a bit too much. What are your suggestions, should I stop using all my cards to reach the 10L milestones annually or pay the annual charges? The other chargeable card I have is MRCC, rest all are LTF including SBI Cashback.

    i think they expire in 2 years. (not sure) but the trick is to only transfer amex points as and when you need - transfer happens within 2 days(mine happened next day). and only transfer the required amount (apart from the 30% bonus big transfer)

    dont think so. 30% was amex mail - not marriot mail. although i would recommend you to keep your ITC points as it is - and not transfer to Marriot - because if you book ITC hotel from marriot - you get bad rates. transfer to marriot only if you need it badly or staying in ITC is not an option
