Asked and answered

Three questions, answered by the calls themselves from the rules current to 30 October 2026.

₹85,000 on MakeMyTrip, holding HDFC Infinia Metal, Axis Atlas and the Amex Platinum Card. Which card?

Call

recommend {"merchant":"MakeMyTrip","amount_inr":85000,"wallet":{"cards":["hdfc-infinia-metal","axis-atlas","amex-platinum-charge"]}}

Answer

Your Axis Atlas earns the most on this trip. 1,700 EDGE Miles, worth about ₹3,400.
1. Axis Atlas: 1,700 EDGE Miles, about ₹3,400. ₹85,000 × 2 pts/₹100
2. HDFC Infinia Metal: 2,833 HDFC Reward Points, about ₹2,833. ₹85,000 × 5 pts/₹150
3. Amex Platinum Card: 2,125 Membership Rewards, about ₹1,063. ₹85,000 × 5 pts/₹200
Same spend through Travel EDGE earns about ₹8,500. Switch the channel. Not the card.
Month-to-date spend taken as zero on every card.

What comes back

Every figure carries grade, checked_on and source_url: official is read in the bank’s own terms, verified is two or more independent card sites agreeing, community is one forum’s consensus. Every result carries page_url, the page on getbrief.cards that shows the same figure, so an answer can cite it.

Month to date

recommend takes month-to-date spend as zero unless the call passes it, so a monthly cap reads as untouched. Every answer says which it used.

Limits

Sixty requests a minute from one address. Calls are counted by name and by client; the cards, merchants and amounts in them are not kept.
