@FinPaal You have Infinia plastic or metal?
Can we apply infina plastic addons for Infinia metal?

@GoldDealsIndia Why did the price shoot up?

JAL ↔️ Accor Transfer Offers 20 % bonus

Great way to take benefit of this offer if u r Axis or Amex card holder and want to transfer to Accor points.

Till 31st July 2026
▶️Earn 1,200 Accor pts (Usual: 1,000 pts) for every 4,000 Jal miles converted
▶️Earn 4800 Accor pts (Usual: 4,000 pts) for every 10,000 Jal miles converted
4800 ALL points ~₹10445 & is a sweet spot

Reverse is also true
Earn 2400 JAL Miles (Usual: 2000 miles) for every 4000 ALL pts converted (❌reverse ALL to JAL is not a good offer and u should not transfer )

Offer link - https://t.co/SzzkDtLl5x

3 scenarios can work for u especially if u have Axis / Amex cards👇

1⃣If u have Amex credit card,
60000 Amex MRs ▶️ 60000 Marriott Pts ▶️25000* JAL miles ▶️12K** ALL points (~₹26160 equivalent to ₹0.44/Amex MR point)
*20K at 3:1 +5K bonus for 60K transfer)
**Assuming transfers in multiples of 10K

If u dont have Amex, then use my referral link for Amex to gain 19K MR pts for Amex Plat reserve https://t.co/PNEY8TUrOk

Fee is high but comes with free Accor+ & 19K welcome pts
My old post explaining the Amex reserve card (offer extended till 17th August)
https://t.co/N0Kqf4ZyR6

2⃣U can use ur Axis Atlas 5000 miles ▶️ JAL 10000 Miles ▶️Get 4.8K ALL Pts = ₹10445 at today's exchange rate
(This is slightly better value than ITC transfer since ITC transfer wud have at ₹10000 and is helpful incase u r short on Accor pts)
Similar scenario can work with ur other Magnus / Burgundy card as well
3⃣If u have Jal miles stuck and since have fixed 3 year expiry, then this offer makes sense.
💡I have some leftover miles expiring in Dec'2026 so will use this offer.

I transferred Axis Pts & transfer was done within 1 day
🤠I had used similar Krisflyer to Accor conversion to clean-off my expiring Krisflyer miles

@SartanparaYash @RakshitSomani @rhoeshan Were you able to get Etihad as an add on for eterna?

[Urban Nomad @urabanNomad]

@SartanparaYash @RakshitSomani @rhoeshan Got it

[Urban Nomad @urabanNomad]

@akashkalp @PointsPro Nice!

I’m curious about your card limit. I recently received my M4B but only got an average limit.

[Urban Nomad @urabanNomad]

@indianccgeek @BankofIndia_IN I’m facing the same issue

[Urban Nomad @urabanNomad]

@FinPaal /s PAN Card for maximum savings 😅

[Abhishek Singh @ChaiAndMiles]

One small habit can save you from the awkwardness of walking up to a lounge... only to be told your card isn't eligible. 😅

Before every trip, I quickly check my access here:

🛋️ HOI (GMR) : https://t.co/VVSKyCBwal
🛋️ LoungeOne (Adani) : https://t.co/GOVhTsDdET
🛋️ TFS Lounges : https://t.co/ydX5XPmKOF

Some cards also require you to generate a lounge voucher before you arrive, help's you in skipping the long queue.

I've also attached a consolidated lounge reference below to make things even easier for fellow ( Thanks to @milesmintIN )

Best part about Levi's vouchers purchased through iShop rather than Smartbuy is that these are the vouchers issued by Quicksilver.

These vouchers can be used at Levi's store during sale as well, which you cannot do with GyFTR vouchers.

That's again a big win.

iShop 1
Smartbuy 0

@ccg33k That’s right; I miscalculated.

BTW does repaying and using the limit again qualify for this offer?
I.e let’s say my limit is 25L, before/after the bill generation can I pay and use my limit again to reach the milestone?

[Urban Nomad @urabanNomad]

@DealsDhamaka @DealsDhamaka, I was thinking that the eligible spend is calculated across the entire offer period. Or is my understanding wrong?

[Urban Nomad @urabanNomad]

@PointsPro @Anirban12Mandal Where to check in the app?

[Urban Nomad @urabanNomad]

@bhmudit @jassneetsingha Got it, thanks for reply
