Have you redeemed intermiles for flights? How does it work in order to get best value?
I see all flights have 2 rates – Standard (5000 for less than 90 minute and 15000 for more) and a costlier one (12500 for less than 90 minutes and 25000 for more). However almost none of the flights have standard rate (5000/15000) available even for 3 months later.
So can someone please share their experience on how to get best value from intermiles flight booking?

I am getting 0.25 rs value on snapay for redeeming. Is that the best I can get?
Better, redeem your miles for Amazon gv of 500 by paying via Cred→Credit card. That’s the best value for miles. 5% discount for 61 miles from intermiles. Additional cashback upto Rs. 200 from Cred for 1000 cred coins. Credit card reward points extra.
I get Amazon voucher from Axis/HDFC Gyftr sites at 7-8% discount.
In intermiles, 60 intermiles are equivalent to 15 cash, so actual discount is 10rs only. Cred gives 20 CB. And 2% (10) from credit card. So, a total of 40 discount on 500 i e 8%.
This is still good, but limited to 500 (maybe thrice per month). Also I saw few dimers mentioned that they got banned for Amazon vouchers through intermiles. So, I thought better to avoid it.
@superdesi is diners not working on cred? Tried multiple times, but failing every time.
Also, there is a 10x edge rewards offer going on for axis cards on cred. Will that apply here? Merchant name is coming as cred only.
Sorry, I don’t have any Diners card. So, no idea.
@superdesi Bought 4x 500 vouchers in 4 days from 29april to 2nd May. And today my account is blocked 😂. And this is my only account. So, I don’t know what basis they are blocking.
They are asking for PAN and have shared it. So, they will unblock it mostly.
I was thinking to buy in bulk upto 50K considering hdfc has heavily nerfed smartbuy portal and axis Gyftr is still not up for Amazon voucher. But now I am not sure even for 500 voucher purchases 😭.
Any suggestions?
Don’t worry. If your account is genuine, they’ll unblock your account again after due verification. They’ll take some time, but will unblock.
BTW, buying 50K Amazon gv needs 6100 miles. Have that much? How did you earn so many miles?
One suggestion: Use Intermiles account for affiliated shopping and flight Ticket booking too once in a while. That will help system understand that you are a genuine user, and not just for gv offers (read misuse).
Now seeing lot of routes with flights within 15000 for 2.5-3hr duration for booking beyond 1 month.
Good time to redeem, if anyone has lot of intermiles and planning to travel soon.
