It’s either 60K worth Taj vouchers or 1.25 L MR points. If you opt for Taj vouchers then they initially credit only 45K worth and once you spend 50K within 60 days of card activation then the remaining 15K is given as well.

Yep. These folks need to factor in opportunity cost of the 70,000. And the hassle of arguing for renewal offers, remembering all the offers blah blah to extract a few thousands more. One can invest same time and energy in work and really multiply money. 70 grand opportunity cost plus mental opportunity cost is not worth it. Amex needs to sweeten the deal on these a lot more to make it a no brainer.
