Amex MR has the deepest direct airline transfer roster of the Indian portals. Verify the live ratio before moving — partner rosters and rates change.

Flights
  • Transfer points to airline partners directly from the Membership Rewards portal.
  • Use when Alfi finds a partner-space match and you are ready to ticket.
Hotels
  • Useful for hotel transfers and Taj-style voucher redemptions depending on the card.
  • Treat hotel moves as final transfers; confirm inventory before moving points.
What to watch
  • Check transfer partner availability before moving points.
  • Voucher and statement-credit options are usually weaker than airline or hotel transfers.

If this is your first transfer, Amex will ask you to link the loyalty account before you can continue.
