Why Amex comes out with these Insurance offers
Normally Amex does not give any reward points on their card spends but since this is the financial year end quarter and people are trying to save tax and have high insurance spends during this period, so Amex comes out with these offers to stay relevant in these months and corner some business from competition.
My Take on this offer
The offer on Amex has a good reward rate of around 2.2% (assuming redeeming on Gold Collection). It could even increase if redeeming for Hotel points or miles etc. but that depends on your redemption plan.
Normally the other cards donot provide any points on insurance spends or have some capping on spends on monthly basis or per transaction basis. In this case, you do not receive reward points for your insurance spends. Here, this offer will come in handy. You can make a payment of upto Rs 2 Lacs and you will receive straight 10000 points. Second, this could come handy for people who have milestone based cards like Amex Platinum travel credit card where you need to spend Rs 4 Lacs for Taj voucher and 50% of that target can be done through this offer.
As I have mentioned in my earlier posts, Amex India has few great cards with pretty high reward rates if used correctly and this is one of those examples.
If you want to apply for Amex India cards to avail these kind of rewards but are worried by the high annual fees, then you can use my referral link for MRCC to get first year free and reduced fee
There are multiple benefits for you to apply through referral link compared to direct application and you can use the same referral link to apply for other variants as well to avail the benefits.
