2 Queries:

Amex 18K points = Rs.6000/- against credit card statement
Amex 18K points = Rs.7000/- Amazon Voucher

1. Which of above two is better option?

2. Amex (MRCC) charged me Rs.4500+GST last year as annual fee, which they didn’t waive off even after several requests. Any way to get it waived off?

I couldn’t.

Previous year was worst. Paid 4500+GST to Amex & 500+GST to SBI

Yes. Amazon redemption is better.
Also you can enquire for redemption of 12000 points which is available once a year and gives a cb of 5310 which is essentially your annual fees with gst.
This redemption is only available once a year. I called the helpline and they immediately did it when I mentioned.
This if still applicable will give you the best redemption value.

PS. I had done the redemption in December.

It depends if can utilise your Amazon vouchers. If you prefer statement credit, wait for accumulation of 24k points coz then you will get 9k which is much better value.

This card is not worth 4.5k plus gst. Should have asked to close it, that way your chance for fee reversal would have been higher, If not then should have closed it.

Can we cancel card after using 11 months?
Bcz I am not going to spend 1.5L and by that time I may earn 12K points atleast

Better not to close as that affects credit score.
Fee is half if you spend 90k .
And they rarely come with offers but sometimes they are good. Recently I had 500 cb on 5000for flipkart spends. So there is value sometimes. Also wallet spends count towards bonus points on Amex.
