Rewards
SPEND TYPE REWARDS REWARD RATE (CASH CREDIT) REWARD RATE (MARRIOTT/TAJ VOUCHER)
Regular Spends 1 MR on every 50 INR spend 0.50% ~1%
  • Excluded spends: Insurance, Utilities, Fuel
  • Rewards don’t expire.

The reward points earned on American Express Platinum Travel Credit Card are ideally meant for Marriott transfers (or) Taj voucher redemptions (according to me), as other options are not attractive enough.

Also note that the MR points earned on plat travel can’t be pooled with other Amex cards, so you can’t redeem for Gold (or) Platinum rewards collection.

While the reward rate on regular spends is not that attractive as seen above, its all about the milestone benefits that makes this card really click!
