@SwipesAndSmiles @se_quedaa Didn't get you isn't Lufthansa announced at 5&4

[Kamesh Jain @kameshjain]

@SwipesAndSmiles @se_quedaa Another set of rumour?
I know Axis people are crazy but not this much that they would change policy in 1 mongh

[Kamesh Jain @kameshjain]

@SwipesAndSmiles @se_quedaa Oh they will say it was a big?

@tejasghongadi @LiveFromALounge Lol who are the gurus being targetted!
Is the game of points redemption so difficult to understand with GenAi and tools like seatsaero etc that people charge 60k for meet ups?
Curious, or is just networking?

@cards_wizard @CreditCardsInd @DoBaniye Isnt HDFC resetting the limit of 18 lac spend?
Did you check that part or may be your yearly calendar just got over?

@NamdeoKadam @airindia @RamMNK @mohol_murlidhar Why do we feel so entitled buddy?
An upgrade usually happens when Economy is overlooked, if economy has empty seats, a person upgrading to premium is additional revenue, why would airline want to leave that?
Look how people make fun of us, go to this reddit post and read comments

@man1sh_golcha @prashantnhn Correct but I have been a Hyatt loyalist since 2014
And got gold for Accor in recent har ghar plat yojna
Hoping with my new premier I will experience Accor soon now

@ankitdewan @prashantnhn @prashantnhn @ankitdewan it was already quick!
Point transfer using form was less than 24 hr
Point trade in India will not pick up because no credit card has good value yet. I don't agree Aeroplan is way is good it's just waste of Group A points, which already has tight limit

[Kamesh Jain @kameshjain]

@man1sh_golcha @prashantnhn @man1sh_golcha there is community which already exists!

On reddit there is Hyatt Trade sub, there GOH/FNA/SUA awards gets traded along with points 😄
I never knew each award is worth minimum 80 usd depending on award it goes up to 400 usd
My awards used to expire every year 😂

Magnus Burgundy → Aeroplan at 5:4 = 93,750 EDGE points/night
Infinia → Aeroplan at 2:1 = 150,000 Reward Points/night

For a ₹1.5L/night Park Hyatt. And 93,750 sits comfortably inside Magnus's 2L Group A yearly cap. #ccgeek

Park Hyatt Phu Quoc. Jan 6–9.

Cash: ₹1,51,497/night.
Points: 25,000/night.

That's ₹6 per Hyatt point — against a typical ~₹1.5.

This is the power of redemptions. #ccgeek

[Kamesh Jain @kameshjain]

The Aeroplan–Hyatt partnership (Jul 2026) lets you book a Category 1–7 free night directly at 75K Aeroplan/night.
This is where I would recommend you to burn your Aeroplan points not for a basic redemption in India

[Kamesh Jain @kameshjain]

Damage: ~₹15.9K for 20 status nights ≈ ₹800/night. Cheapest Gold-lock I've found. Sale ends Nov 20 — don't sleep on it.

[Kamesh Jain @kameshjain]

Took your advice @ankitdewan — got the 20 Accor China nights stacked on my 30 Explorer nights. Thanks for the nudge! 🙏 Full step-by-step for Indians below, since WeChat signup is blocked here. 🧵

The best to reach Accor Platinum in 2026, starting from zero nights - Probably the only guide you will need

So many people are interested in getting Accor Platinum status ... and it is truly worth it if you are planning stays in Accor properties in the next 1 year.

The good news is that it looks like that the fast track is working for everyone. So here is a thread on the best ways to get to Platinum status this year, starting from zero, and staying only 1 night. 👇🏼

And btw, do read the article below if you have any doubts on the whole Accor Platinum thing.

🧵

[Kamesh Jain @kameshjain]

Honest math: 50 nights = still Gold (Platinum needs 60). Cap is 50 gifted nights/account/year — one card maxes it, a second adds zero. Accor's T&Cs don't officially allow the stack; works in practice (Oct 2026) but theoretical clawback risk.
