Add 1000×4 in paytm wallet.

I guess all major ecom websites do support Amex cards.

Any way to send them to bank ?

Add to amazon, ppl dont realise it is almost 10% cashback.
1000 points for 4k spend , 1000 points is ~375rs

So instead of looking for az gift card at 2-3-4% discount.use it to load az wallet.

For trading, buy az gc at 10% and sell at 2-3%

375 rs on 4000 is approx 10%

Is this offer is specifically for amex card or icici amex variant also qualifies?

consider amex redemtion Amazon e-voucher worth Rs. 7,000
points needed=18000 (18K gold collection redemtion)
bonus=12000(swapping( 1000×4 )/month )+ 2000(joining bonus)=14000
regular points=(4000/50)x12=960
points needed=18000-14000-960=3040
spent needed for 3040 points=152000
profit=(7000/(152000+(4000×12)))x100=(7000/200000)x100= 3.5%

I think here is an assumption that we have to achieve spend target in 12 months, which is not true.

There is no need to spend 152000 to get extra 3040 points, just use card for 15 (or 17 if you excludee 2000 joining bonus) months instead of 12 months and you will eventually hit ~10% discount.

IMO this is the best card if you got it LTF. as it can be used anywhere all wallet topups and only 4k commitment per month.

I have been using this card for last 3 years and redeemed 18k points 4 times till now as there were some amex card offers so spent more than 4k in few months.

Also another variant of Amex card, smart earn card, even that is very useful if used according to the below plan.

Amex smart earn card fee is waived off if we spend 30K/year
This has 5x reward on Amazon(max 250 points/month) and 10x rewards on Flipkart (max 500 points/month)

There are other merchants as well in 5x and 10x category like uber, swiggy, BMS, etc but I mentioned only AZ and FK, as my most spending is on these merchants.

So spend min 2500 on Amazon (load amazon wallet) every month and get 250 points per month (rewards ~4% much better than trading at 2-3% in trading section), this will make it 2500*12 = 30k spends.
plus if you want to shop at Flipkart it will ~8% cb max 5K spend/ month ( can be used during off sale days)

Also, we can combine points of smart earn and MRCC card, so the target of 18k can be achieved quickly.

Amex also keeps running rewards multiplier during sale days of 2X and 5X reward points, so that makes it even sweeter.

All in all, with amex cards even if you spend less, we can get good reward points.

Quite a lot of companies will accept Amex. If they allow for Paypal, Amex is then definitely allowed!

40k, not 30k

and amex gave this card as companion card to them, who already have mrcc

is it worth taking smart earn card , i already have MRCC , as they are providing it free until i have MRCC, i believe offer is till 31 dec to get it. i already have Amazon icici, so i am confused.
