Amex India Offerings for Travel

I'm thinking of Picking up a Amex Credit card - I looked in the website and need some suggestions from users here.

Primary motive is to diversify the Cards in the valet and make use of special offers. Already have a Citi PM. Need a option to have flexible currency of points to transfer to Hotels / Airlines to top off balance.

Travel is light now a days with change in role @ office and kids.

Platinum Card seems to be overkill for me. Trying to choose betw Platinum Reserve and Platinum Travel.

Considered Jet Airways Co-Branded card - but not sure how good is the value and it locks the rewards to Jet as well.

Any words of wisdom? or should i be content with Citi PM

Platinum Travel is a very good card mainly for their Indigo Vouchers..
4L spends get around 20K worth Indigo Vouchers and 10K Taj Voucher.

I have Amex Platinum Reserve. 1 point for every Rs. 50 spent seems so low. I have spent around 4.1 lakh till now and with initial bonus and everything I have 19,348 points.

Which is worth 8,000 Rs in gift certificates.

Transfer points to SPG is one of the features I did not find in Citi Offering.

Also the earn rate is quite low for most of the Amex cards 1 MR for INR 50 and excluding Fuel and Utilities
