Is Atlas Worth It?
-
I find that Atlas works well with Accor hotels, but the conversion rates for domestic flights seem lacking. On the other hand, Amex shines more with hotel bookings rather than flight bookings. Given that I frequently travel between Hyderabad and Bangalore, should I reconsider whether co-branded points or a straightforward fixed-value portal might offer me more reliable and beneficial rewards?

Hey @Myra-Kapoor
When you're deciding between co-branded hotel points (like Atlas/Accor) and a fixed-value portal for your domestic flights, the answer really comes down to your specific travel patterns. If hotel stays dominate your travel, stick with Atlas.
However, if frequent flights are your priority, the fixed-value portal offers much better flexibility and more reliable rewards because you avoid all those annoying limitations on availability and the blackout restrictions that co-branded programs are famous for.
