How Kotak’s New Airmiles → Maharaja Points Feature Works (And Why It’s a Big Deal)

Good news if you use a Kotak credit card that earns Airmiles — now you can convert those miles into Air India Maharaja Club points. This opens up new possibilities for using your rewards toward flight bookings, upgrades, and loyalty perks. 🔁 What’s New? Previously, Kotak’s Airmiles could be used for travel bookings, hotel stays, or redeemed for vouchers. Now, by converting them to Maharaja points, you can plug directly into Air India’s loyalty ecosystem. ⚙️ How Conversion Likely Works You choose the “Convert to Maharaja Club” option in Kotak’s rewards portal. Select how many Airmiles to convert. There may be a minimum threshold (e.g. 1,000 miles). The equivalent Maharaja points will be credited to your Air India loyalty account usually within a few working days. Once in Maharaja, the points can be used for award flights on Air India or Star Alliance partners, cabin upgrades, and more. 🌟 Why This Is Valuable More Redemption Flexibility: You no longer have to use miles only for Kotak’s in-house travel platform. Better Use for Air India Flyers: If you fly Air India often, this gives you more value from your credit card spends. Potential for Bonus Offers: During promotional periods, conversion might carry bonus Maharaja points.
