03 · Already holding hotel or partner points?
1 program hop · no card involved
Balance-origin hops — a transfer between two loyalty programs rather than out of a card, so it is a stash you already hold and no card is involved. Single leg, so the ratio is the aggregate. Most are rescue valves, not plans: check the ₹/mile before moving anything.
| Your balance in | Ratio | Miles / pt | ₹ / mile | Time | → out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mag Miles The ONLY row that beats 1:1 — 'Transfer Mag Miles to Orchid Rewards at 1:2, so 100 Mag Miles becomes 200 Orc… ⚠ min 100 Mag Miles first transfer, 10 thereafter | 1:2 (1–2 days) | 2.00 | ₹0.50 | up to 1 working day |
Miles/pt = Orchid Rewards miles per 1 point of the source; aggregated ratios multiply every leg. ₹/mile prices the redemption at house values. Chain rows print their own mins and caps — a capped valve moves slowly no matter how good the ratio. Per-card exceptions show their own aggregated ratio on the row. Cards saved in your wallet are highlighted automatically.
Straight answers
The questions people actually type about moving points into Orchid Rewards — answered from the same rows as the tables above, with the same numbers.
How long do Axis EDGE Miles → Orchid Rewards transfers take?
Up to 1 working day. Axis EDGE Miles converts at 1:4, so one point becomes 4.00 Orchid Rewards, worth ₹4.00 at our house mark. 5 cards on this currency can ride it, and Axis Olympus is the highest-ranked. That gap is the risk: award space can vanish before the miles land, so never move points on spec.
How long do SBI Travel Credits → Orchid Rewards transfers take?
Up to 21 days. SBI Travel Credits converts at 1:1, so one point becomes 1.00 Orchid Rewards, worth ₹1.00 at our house mark. 3 cards on this currency can ride it, and SBI Card MILES PRIME is the highest-ranked. That gap is the risk: award space can vanish before the miles land, so never move points on spec.
How long do Axis EDGE Reward Points → Orchid Rewards transfers take?
Up to 1 working day. Axis EDGE Reward Points converts at 5:4, so one point becomes 0.80 Orchid Rewards, worth ₹0.80 at our house mark. 27 cards on this currency can ride it, and Axis Magnus for Burgundy is the highest-ranked. That gap is the risk: award space can vanish before the miles land, so never move points on spec.
What's the best ratio into Orchid Rewards?
1:4 from Axis EDGE Miles, on Axis Olympus (ranked #5). One point becomes 4.00 Orchid Rewards — ₹4.00 of value at our house mark. Nothing else on this page converts harder; the direct table above ranks the rest of the field, per-card exceptions already applied.
Do Orchid Rewards expire?
Yes — unused Petals expire on completion of 3 years (official Orchid Rewards T&C). That clock runs on the balance sitting in Orchid Rewards, not on the card points you started with — which is the argument for transferring against a booking rather than parking a stash here.
What's the minimum transfer into Orchid Rewards?
Axis EDGE Miles: 500 EDGE Miles · Axis EDGE Reward Points: 300 EDGE REWARD Points. Each is a floor on the points leaving, per transaction — the balance you need sitting in the bank's account before the button works, not the miles that land. SBI Travel Credits publishes no floor we can read — those issuers keep the number behind the transfer screen's login, so we print nothing rather than a guess that strands your points at the last step. Partner-balance hops carry their own: Mag Miles min 100 Mag Miles first transfer, 10 thereafter.
