  • I got a call from indusind Bangalore branch They told I am eligible for these LTF cards -
    1. Easydiner platinum
    2. Platinum rupay
    3. Signature Legend
    Which one to take? Is any of these worth taking?

    Slowly I am moving from other cards to HDFC card ecosystem. Just using 2 cards now - Swiggy and Neu Infinity.
    Have been comfortable with Swiggy over the last 1 year or so. Cashbacks have been regular, no need to follow up and things like that. That's why I thought of taking the second HDFC card - Neu Infinity. Just got this card today. I think it will be good for me. Planning to move most of the transactions to these two cards. Will be using the neu card mostly for offline swipes and UPI scans. Because that's the most unorganised place for me now.
    The only minus point is - both are paid cards and both have annual fees. I need to spend a total of ₹ 5L to waive off the fees. Maybe that's doable but not very sure. I'll try for an year or so and see how it goes. Meanwhile in parallel I am writing mails to hdfc customer care to make it lifetime free. But that maynot work out soon.
    Another thing is moving my salary account too to HDFC. So that I'll be getting some of their core cards as well. All that is planned after 4-6 months from now.

    I have set up a standing instruction for Rs 999 in ICICI credit card. The payee name is shown as viacom18 but I can't remember what is this for. I searched everywhere but I don't see any service related to viacom18. Does anyone has this standing instruction for 999 rs yearly with payee as viacom18?
    The only thing I could find out is it is somehow related to Reliance Industries. But I don't exactly understand what service it is. Any idea how can I find this out?

    Oh yes. Thanks a ton. Since I have all the subscriptions through Jio Fiber, I didn't have to take any additional one. But now I remember last year I had done a Jio Cinema subscription for something. Got it now. Thanks again.

    So, I've been taking a hard look at my credit cards and realized I've got way too many. They just don't fit my spending habits anymore.

    To keep things simple, I'm sticking with these few: ICICI Apay, and HDFC Swiggy for online shopping. For UPI payments, Coral Rupay, and Sapphiro for smaller stuff.

    That's it! No more keeping unwanted and unused cards. Clearing up my wallet for now. Maybe I'll find a better card later, but for now, I'm good. Need some time away to clear the clutter and get fresh air in.

    Good to get rid of those unwanted (n now in disuse) stuff - be it clothes, furniture, books or CCs. Declutter at regular intervals n be happy.

    Two things happened here -

    1. For Sapphiro, they are asking to spend 75k in one quarter for lounge access. I may not spend that much. My max spending on Sapphiro is around 5k per month.
    2. ICICI downgraded my Wealth account to Previlege. debit card became chargeable. Not easy for me to continue salary account in ICICI. I am moving to HDFC for salary account.

    Now, most used cards are:
    - Amazon Pay and Swiggy HDFC for all online purchases.
    - Coral Rupay for UPI scans.
    - HDFC Swiggy for offline swipes.

    After getting into HDF, I expect to get Regalia Gold and Neu Infinity LTF. If that happens, then:
    - Amazon Pay and Swiggy HDFC for all online purchases.
    - Neu Infinity for UPI scans.
    - Regalia Gold for offline swipes.

    I think it should be good.
    Sad realisations of the week.

    1. With 1.8L salary, I won't get any wealth/priority/premier salary accounts. It atleast needs 2L+ net credit per month. Here ICICI is kind enough to upgrade me to their (good for nothing) wealth management variant. Thanks but no thanks.

    2. I don't have the high TRV these guys ask, because I don't have any big ticket loans, no FDs too. So TRV based upgrade is also not possible.

    3. Same for super premium/luxury cards as well. Since no high income, no higher variant wealth account and no linked high-end credit cards.

    4. Spends are very low. Family's (4 people) full expense is around 60k per month. That means 5L per year. Super premium cards need me to upgrade my lifestyle and spending. So those are also unreachable as of now.

    5. Paying high fees and getting a card, but if that doesn't match with my spends, it's of no use. So not going for premium cards as well.

    Overall, it was a nice week.

    Is there a workaround or possibility to get out of this circle, other than increasing the net salary? If there are any thoughts, please share.
    So I added one more card - IDFC First Wealth. LTF, 4L limit. Got it approved today.
    I never got this card when I needed. Now after all the devaluation and stripping off everything, IDFC Folks are running behind people to issue these cards left right and center. It's of no use other than any specific offer for IDFC First.
    Got it just because I don't have a Visa Infinite variant otherwise.
    Is it time to book profits? Many people are saying that there is an imminent market crash coming in the next few months and many stocks can go down.

    It's not a good card. This is the cheapest card for Priority Pass. Rs 350/- per year for 2 times international lounge access.

    CIBIL score increased to 789 this time! For last 10 months it was 785. Don't know what happened. No new cards, no new loans, no new enquiries.
    I lost my SBI debit card somehwere. Unable to track it. Just to understand - will they give the same card variant as replacement or will they give some other variant? (I had visa platinum debit card, not sure if these idiots will lower the variant when they replace it). How can I ensure I get the higher variant itself?

    Will get replace with same variant

    For higher variant contact with your branch, they can apply your desire one if your account eligible for same.

    @sauravkumar Bro are you serious?
    You got jio shares because of jio demerger from reliance.
    🤣🤣🤣
    Not because of bonus. 🤣🤣
    You should Google and first learn about bonus split.
    In split face value changes and in bonus face values remain same and eps decreases and profitability also remain unchanged.

    @Ak Singh Have you ever tracked Reliance shares??

    Do you have any RIL shares... I bet no!!😑😑😑

    And still you are behaving like you know everything!!🤣🤣🤣

    Just check when last time Bonus is awarded by RIL... And for idiots like you... Just giving a simple example: Jio is giving 1 shares for every 5 shares of RIL. Now use your brain ... In which scenario you will get more shares. These are hidden potential of a company..

    First invest in stock market... Learn something with experience then only comment..

    Do you have any idea what is next 5 year plan of RIL. Have you attended AGM of Reliance?? Have many more business Reliance is going to list??

    At least by googling you learnt Face Value... Otherwise both are same to you as you mentioned previous comments.

    And FYI - I got Bonus shares of RIL so don't teach me how it works.

    @sauravkumar yes I have no RIL. 😄 Have a nice day bro.
    Enjoy your life.
    See in Dm before commenting what I have shared in Dm.
    Did Anyone get your ICICI credit card statement for the bill generated on the 12th of this month? Usually, I get the email by the 12th evening, but now it is the 14th and I still haven't received this month's bill by email. Anyway, the cashback has been credited to my Amazon Pay balance. But for Sapphiro and Apay, the bills are not in the email yet.

    I got mine on time. I didn't get the one which was supposed to be generated on 6th though.
    I guess there is some glitch in their systems.

    Same for me. Received the cashback in APay today early morning but statement email hasn't received yet.
    I'm looking to book 2 flight tickets from Cochin to Chennai (and return) for the first week of June. Usually, I book on Amazon because their rates are lower and they offer cashback on Amazon Pay ICICI card. But I'm open to other alternatives. Also, I need to book a hotel room and I usually use makemytrip for that. Any tips on getting discounts or reduced rates would be greatly appreciated.
