Hello Everyone,

Till last month was able to do 4 Amex trxns by adding amount to Paytm @ Zero Charges. Is there any such way to do so now?

If can't reveal it over here please share in my DM😉.

Thanks in advance 😄

If you’re using gold charge card or platinum travel card, go for Amex rewards multiplier to buy some gift cards. Gold charge rewards become 5x and platinum travel 3x respectively. No multiplier for MRCC I think, just FYI.

So earn more on your spends as well as monthly milestone benefit. Only issue is, if you can’t use your voucher you will probably end up selling at a small discount on trading section.

MRCC has 2X multiplier.

So far I am adding to paytm. Adding 5000/- for 4 times. Paytm charges 528/- for adding 20000/- and i am getting around 308/- as fuel cash back. So 528-308=220/- loss for me. But I am getting 2000 bonus points + 410 points on spend. Total 2410 points that have a value of 915/-. So 915-220= 695/- profit for me

correction: @starbearer below has rightly pointed out MRCC will also give 2X on Amex Reward Multiplier.

Oh, that reduces your benefit potential. Nevertheless, If you can’t find any alternative spends you can buy gift vouchers from there to fulfill milestones. Sometimes some vouchers are at a discount as well.


I can’t recall if MRCC has fuel surcharge waiver. If it does you can try to load on your HP Pay wallet also. May give you some tiny payback points also and your spends also get done - if it’s counted for milestone which I believe it does.

Amex Reward Multiplier portal does not have amazon gift card(maybe amazon shopping voucher now available).

2x is like regular rewards + 2 times extra 

or overall

2x ?

It's 2x of the regular rewards rate of 1MR per ₹50 spent.

Like ₹1500 gives you 30*2=60 MR. And you do 4 such transactions and you get 240MR (120 regular + 120 RM) and 2000 milestone rewards.

Total 2240MR for ₹6000 spent.

That's correct. It will still have Uber, big basket, Flipkart and all. Pick what you can use (or trade off) reasonably.

1000 bonus only right? For the other 1000 we need to spend 20k

Thanks for explaining ... Except 2000 milestone rewards everything is understood... it will be 1000+240 = 1240 MR

Right again. I'm making too many mistakes today. Time I call it a night sweat_smile

It is 1K MR indeed.

₹20K more to be spend for total 2K points (1k+1k MR)

1240MR on ₹6,000 spent. Still decent.

@NewLife do this 👆 ..

Charges are just 0.75% (eg on Kotak gateway). If you do NPS then this should be the best way, otherwise ignore NPS.

You can topup mobikwik wallet upto 2.5k per month free of cost. Having addon amex ccs helps in doing multiple txns. 

Buying GVs from Amex multiplier portal is good option too (works out to at least ~8% for these GVs). Even if you don't get AGV, ASV is helpful too. eg. one can buy some useful BB / Zomato / Spencers etc GV from amazon using ASV (yes tried and tested for this double dip). All GVs doesn't work with ASV, but many still works with extra discounts.

I mostly end up using it to fuel up, or recharge bbdaily wallet. Once I'm past the 4 transactions, I usually manage to find daily spends to get me past 20k a month.

If you have spends over 20K per month, this is the best rewarding card with almost 4.5% ROI (5.5% if you repay using HDFC Platinum DC), better than Axis Ace etc.
