Wow, quite detailed work. I see that spread/margin is quite wide for the HDFC rates - diff. between sell and buy rates.

Depends on MCC code of the store. If it comes under Grocery then you get 10% on full amount. Eg. from DMart you can purchase clothes, plastic items and still it will give you 10% Luckily as of now, banks don't check invoice and segregate the spends :)

Wow - entire data gone. Had given inputs over last few months but never saved a copy.

I think if we apply for fresh card, the offer will still be applicable.

Great move! Memes for fun is ok, but in some threads it is plain spam!

Thanks for sharing your stories and experience with RBI BO Mumbai BO is super slow. They take months to close complaint, whenever bank is at fault. Eg. complaint of Mar 2024, where bank tried to close saying some gibberish response. BO sent me mail in June, attaching bank's response and asking...

My SBI Ola card was renewed automatically 3 weeks back and today got the card delivered via Bluedart. Checked my text messages, no where got any message to select Card Network. PS: For me there was one addon card too. Dunno if that matters

I paid bill of 50K now. Went ahead without issues.

I guess BOB was one of the last one. They have also got this spends condition! 40K seems too high though.

You are right.. 20% is quite low. But equal to or exceeding income is also super stretched. It can happen due to some important life events etc but not a regular one. By the way, I read OP's post, seems like a case of expense super high vs ITR and hence had given this view.

Hmm, okay. HSBC is anyways quite difficult to get even for salaried people.

I also have same Q. If anyone have personal experience.

Interesting If you don't mind sharing, how much commission does one get from bank like HSBC in this case for bringing a customer? You are sharing more than what one (old, well established site) offers. So makes me curious and doubtful both. Best of luck for your website... just checked it...

Difficult to say... How much is your income? If the spends are like 15-20% of income you can easily justify. Else will be a challenge if notice comes.

Any update? I am getting charged across accounts for no activity.
