For Infinia / DCB Metal / BizBlack: 10,000 points for 30 Status Nights can be useful if targeting Accor Gold / Platinum.

For Regalia Gold: generally avoid - better value transferring those 20,000 points directly to Accor.

HDFC Reward Points → ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership

HDFC has added ALL Accor+ Explorer membership to the SmartBuy Rewards Catalogue.

Biggest attraction: 30 Status Nights - enough to reach Accor Gold instantly under the current threshold.

[Card Genius @CardGeniusClub]

Important Catch
This HDFC-linked version does not include the 2 Stay Plus FREE Nights / BOGO benefit.

Key value is mainly:
• 30 Status Nights
• Accor status acceleration
• Standard Accor+ benefits under this version

Makes sense only if the spend was already planned.
Don’t manufacture ₹1.5L–₹2.5L just for the bonus.

But if you were hitting those numbers anyway → strong way to add 15K–30K extra points.

Offer Period: 1 Oct – 30 Nov 2026

Registration Deadline: 10 Nov 2026

Why this gets interesting

At ₹2.5L spend you get 30,000 bonus points + regular base earnings.

If your annual spend is already heading toward the card’s ₹6L / ₹9L / ₹15L Free Night Award milestones, this can potentially be stacked.

The award chart looks unusually attractive for the distance.

Always search and confirm the award seat first, then transfer. Never transfer speculatively.

If you’re planning Japan in 2027, keep this on your radar. 🇯🇵✈️

Business Class to Japan for Just 25,000 Miles!

Here’s a sweet spot worth saving if Japan is on your list.

With EVA Air starting Delhi ↔️ Taipei flights from 1 December 2026, its Infinity MileageLands program becomes much more relevant for Indian travellers.

Why this is interesting for HSBC users

If your HSBC card transfers to EVA Infinity MileageLands at 1:1:

25,000 HSBC Reward Points → 25,000 EVA miles → Business Class to Japan

Overall, this feels more like a devaluation than an upgrade.

✅ Accor is back (at lower ratios)
✅ 3 new partners added
❌ Group A is tighter
❌ ITC is gone

We’ll cover new sweet spots soon.

Major Axis Bank Miles Transfer Update

Accor returns, ITC exits, and Group A gets much tighter.

Axis has reshuffled its airline and hotel transfer ecosystem.

[Card Genius @CardGeniusClub]

4️⃣ Three new partners added

• Cathay Pacific Asia Miles → Group A
• Lufthansa Miles & More → Group B
• Hilton Honors → Group B

Miles & More looks especially interesting inside the larger Group B limit.
