Got it. Mistake I made earlier is putting in date that it wasn’t available. Super weird though that only 5 days show up as available for rest of 2018

All those looking to book this - I just bought 2 tickets and each of them cost me $1,192 instead of $1,310. For the dates I was looking, the price was $1,287 and I got a discount of $95 per ticket by booking on an Indian travel website called yatra.com. When you book there, use the code YATRANEW and it takes off INR 7,810 ($108) but they add a service fee of $12 for a net benefit of $95 per ticket. Made two separate reservations using different email addresses (but same card) as the NEW code won't apply if you book using the same email address.
What's more impressive, is that they have me INR 2,000 (~$30) as credit to use for future bookings. As I will take a domestic flight from New Delhi to Ahmedabad, the effective price of that flight for me is now $30 instead of the $60 original price! Overall Yatra gave me a discount of $125 on a total purchase price of $1,347 or a 9% instant cashback! not bad at all
Cherry on top - able to book bulkhead seats for the SIN-EWR flight on the Singapore Air website for the dates I am traveling

This is very interesting information!
What does the combined FB wisdom say on the question of using the SIA website for the 5x Membership Reward points by using the Amex Plat, and give up the $100 discount, or use the Chase Sapphire Reserve, get 3x Ultimate Reward points and pocket the $100? ~3,600 Ultimate Reward points vs ~6,500 Membership Reward points?
I think the answer is staring me in the face.
