Direct Amex application v/s Amex application through referral 🧵

(1/n)
Amex Cards again are talk of the town since yesterday. ❇️

This 🧵 intends to tell you which one is the better way of applying AMEX cards - Direct application or referral ?

So let's go and find out 🏃‍♂️
(2/n)
Amex MRCC

Direct
1st year Fees - ₹ 1,000
2nd year onwards - ₹ 4,500
Welcome bonus - 4,000 MR points on spending ₹15,000 within 90 days

Referral
1st year fees - ₹ 0
2nd year onwards - ₹ 1,500
Welcome bonus - 2,000 MR points on spending ₹5,000 within 90 days
(3/n)

Verdict 👇

Referral is out and out winner
➡️ No fee in first year
➡️ 67% reduction in fee for subsequent years

➡️ Direct application gives you extra 2000 points but could not justify extra ₹1,180 fee.

Even at ₹0.5 value per point, you will be in a loss of ₹180.
