      Here's what you can explore with your HSBC Premier points: British Airways Executive Club: Transfer points to BA and then to Qatar Airways. Economy one-way from Delhi-SFO is 40K Avios. Business class (Flexi) is 160K Avios. Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer: Economy: 51K miles Delhi-SFO. Business: 123K miles on SQ or 137.5K miles on Air India via Star Alliance. Air India economy (direct) via Star Alliance: 60.5K miles. Air India: Transfer points to Air India. A direct Delhi-SFO economy ticket will cost 72K points. Happy Flying! ✈

      The best way to do utility bills is through Amazon Pay. The best cards to get Amazon Pay are Infinia (13% for apay), and Amex Gold (12% on apay if you redeem for Marriott) If you are getting an Amex - get it with a referral; you will get extra points for joining. If you do not have one - use ours: americanexpress.com/en-in/referral/gold?ref=sUNAIC9Cwx8&XL=MNTNS

    Dear Masters, In October 2024, I gave up my charge card as I couldn’t extract much value from it and amex didnt offered me good retention value Now, Amex is offering me 150,000 MR points to upgrade my MRCC card. Initially, I was very sure about upgrading and earning those 1.5 lakh MR points. However, after watching your recent video about the Accor Platinum tier, it completely changed my perspective. Now I’m confused between the following options: 1. Amex Platinum Reserve Card: • Benefits: 11,000 MR points + 8,000 referral bonus + Accor Plus membership • Cost: Approximately ₹12,000 annual fee 2. Amex Platinum Corporate Card: • Cost: ₹40,000 + GST • Benefits: • ₹30,000 Amazon Pay voucher • Marriott Gold membership • Taj InnerCircle Gold membership • Access to Centurion Lounges • Priority Pass membership • Advantage: I can claim GST input credit and use this card for all company expenses, allowing me to continue using other cards like the Axis Atlas for personal expenses. If I choose the Amex Platinum Charge Card, I’ll need to pay ₹80,000. Alternatively, with the Platinum Reserve + Corporate Card combination, my effective cost will be approximately ₹22,000 (after factoring in the GST input credit and the ₹30,000 Amazon Pay voucher).

    Flew business class SQ from Vietnam to Mumbai in 2024 and the experience was mind blowing. An additional tip for anyone flying Vietnam to Mumbai business class : SQ business class ticket provides an option to avail either their business class lounge at the ho chi minh city airport or a 60 minute complimentary spa at the airport. Skip the lounge and go for the spa, it’s amazing

      You can get it at all.accor.com/a/en/loyalty-program/subscription-program/all-signature.html Look out for offers though; unless you need the points and a status through it, wait for a discount offer

    Great info @GreatIndianMiles. This year I'm going to book my 1st accor property using points via Axis Atlas for my Honeymoon. Got great information from your podcast. You'd mentioned in podcast that someone is a FORA advisor in this panel. Can you share his handle / some contact where I can reach him. Need advise & would love to book via him.

    I just came across the American Airlines redemption a minute after I posted the comment but thanks for the Marriott tip! I’m still a little confused about Avios though - Finnair is 1:1 on DCB and BA is 2:1 but I can club miles on BA… so I could just use Finnair and transfer to BA to get the best rate right? Also any tips on Vietnam Airlines Lotus Smiles? I can’t find a single video about it on UA-cam which may indicate that it’s not a good idea but still 😅

    • @GreatIndianMiles
      @GreatIndianMiles 6 днів тому

      Yeah, on HDFC, always transfer to FinnAir and move it to BA from it. You can transfer at a 1:1 ratio. We actually have an episode on Qatar / Avios coming up very soon - do tune in! For Vietnam Airlines - look out for Virgin / Air France. I have personally booked intra-Vietnam ones on Flying Blue at 5000 points plus minimal taxes :)

  • @shenellealphonso1720

    Amazing video! Could you please do a video on redeeming miles through airline partners? I’m struggling to find information on the same. For example, I want to book a flight from BLR to ICN. The best options are Cathay Pacific 40k miles rtn and Vietnam Airlines. But DCB has a 2:1 ratio on Cathay Pacific. Not sure if I can do 1:1 Finnair Avios and then book Cathay Pacific somehow?

    • @GreatIndianMiles
      @GreatIndianMiles 7 днів тому

      Thanks for tuning in, Shenelle! Here are a few options you can explore for your BLR to ICN flight: 1) Cathay Pacific via Qantas - Approx. 30,000 points + $64 USD one way. 2) Thai Airways via United - Approx. 35,000 points + $36 USD one way. 3) The most efficient option: Cathay Pacific via American AAdvantage - Just 22,500 points + $52 USD one way! However, AA has no direct transfer partners in India, except Marriott Bonvoy (3:1). Also, don’t miss our latest episode on KrisFlyer Redemptions-it’s packed with tips you’ll love! 😊✈ ua-cam.com/video/OHbfM62TYDM/v-deo.htmlsi=u46GmuU7ff1MJ1p5 Let us know if you have more questions!

    Such a fab video..!! Love the content that you all bring in. 👏Here's to more of them . Keep 'em coming. Quick question though - Can we cancel/postpone an award seat? Are the miles credited back to our account, if we were to cancel? This question specifically pertains to SQ. However, it would be great if you could also address this for other FFPs in one of your future videos.

    • @GreatIndianMiles
      @GreatIndianMiles 7 днів тому

      Thank you, Anish, for the kind words! We're thrilled to know you're enjoying the content. 🙌 To answer your question about KrisFlyer award tickets: Promo Awards: Generally non-refundable. Saver Awards: Cancellation Fee: US$75 per ticket. Advantage Awards: Cancellation Fee: US$50 per ticket. Expired Miles: If the miles used for booking expire before cancellation, they cannot be redeposited. Partially Used Tickets: Once travel has commenced, the award ticket is considered partially used and is non-refundable. We’ll definitely cover more frequent flyer programs (FFPs) in upcoming videos-stay tuned for those! 😊 Also, if you’re finding these videos helpful, it would mean the world to us if you could spread the word on your preferred social platform-LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram-and don’t forget to tag us.

    After seeing the timeline of this video I was 😮! When I started watching it was interesting. The flow of conversation was good. Everybody has something to from their experiences. How elaborate can it be! Aadil was giving a whole platter to enjoy. Explaining with examples. Long and short duration flights. Stopover benefits, and specially curated food guide on what to have and not. It’s not just another miles and travel video it’s also a food guide that comes complimentary for those who watch it. I will be short of words writing about this episode. You must see it to know it. Great job everyone and thanks for sharing your experiences. 🙏

    I just love this show!!!! I've told at least 5 of my friends about it!!! Thank you soooo much for doing this! Just a situation - I have a lot of UPI spends - Trf to squash and gym coach via Gpay. Trf to Wife via Gpay. Trf to HouseHelp. I would like to use a Rupay card to make these transfers. Almost 50-60k spends per month fixed. 1) Which is the best Rupay Card so I can redeem these points for AirTravel. Maybe Star Alliance? 2) Do these transfers to friends, family, househelp also earn points on a Rupay Card EVEN THOUGH they are NOT merchants?

      Thank you, Pranav! We're thrilled to hear that you’ve been sharing the show with your friends-your support keeps us flying high! 🙌✈ To answer your questions: 1) The IndusInd Platinum Rupay Card bitli.in/psU8ws7 is one of the UPI cards you could consider. It offers 0.5% conversion on merchant payments to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Miles, which can get you closer to those SQ or Star Alliance redemptions! 2) Unfortunately, peer-to-peer transfers like GPay to your squash coach, wife, or house help won’t earn points, as these aren’t considered merchant payments. Vrateful for your support, Pranav! If you feel like helping us reach more travel enthusiasts, a little shoutout on your favorite social media channel-Twitter or Instagram-and tagging us would mean a lot. It’s always amazing to see the love for our points and miles channel spreading! 😊🙏
