What is the source location that the SIM is getting shipped from? Just want to check if the SIM would even reach me before I take off. Does the card get activated automatically on the input travel dates? Or do we get to activate on a chosen date within the travel date range?

I think it means 500 MB data + 25mins of voice to be used within 3 days of activation and not 500 MB data available for just 25 mins within 3 days of activation.

Recharged metro card for 1500 using Kiwi Yes UPI, got 30 Kiwis (Rs7.5) as base rewards (collect+intent 0.5%) and then some 800 Kiwis (Rs.200 i.e. 13.33%) as bonus. Does someone know if this bonus is randomly assigned or if there is some rewarding campaign running right now?

Some lessons learnt though: 1. Use gel ink pens instead of ball pens 2. Take a pic of the cheque before handing it over to the collector 3. Take a pic of the collector along with his ID 4. Avoid cheques altogether - may not be possible for everyone, but if there isn't a necessity, do not apply...

@Batman - Arriving late at the scene, but was able to recognize that certain things have been erased and over-written. Appears to be 'cheque washing'. I could see the original AC payee cross lines and also the starting letters of the receiver's name and the amount in words being tampered with...

I think all the Kiwi Neon rewards are tied up with UPI transactions via the Kiwi app. Basically, using your card for online transactions that doesn't involve Kiwi app are probably not eligible. As per T&C, it seems only collect+intent and scan+pay transactions involving Kiwi app are eligible...

Hey guys, yes, the MDR should be borne by the merchant, but this isn't an ideal world. He is the top seller and is giving the best deal compared to FK/Amzn/other offline stores. And that puts me in tough situation to negotiate on reducing or even ignoring the additional charge, as I can't just...

I should've probed some more while I was at the shop. But the salesmen actually mentioned 3%, not 2%. Although it did seem like he was rounding it off to the higher number, it may actually be some lesser number. But my bad, didn't inquire more about it.

Did some more browsing, couple of options that I have are: 1. The Payzapp QR code at the shop. If it happens to be a BharatQR (HDFC website says that Payzapp QR codes are BharatQR codes, unsure if still true), then may be take risk and try the SBI CB card to get a net 2% reward. 2. Kiwi Yes...

He actually isn't a small seller. He specializes in a particular electronics segment and is the top authorized seller as per the brand in my city.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to make a significant (INR 1.57L) electronics purchase soon. However, card swipes (debit and credit cards including UPI on credit) would attract an additional 2-3% charge, amounting to approx. INR 4k. The merchant isn’t a big player like Croma or Reliance Digital, so I...

But it seems Amazon only allows Net-Banking as the option to pay credit card bill, isn't it?

Well, they usually come with the Win Home installed by these resellers, but they can always be cleared and re-installed with whatever OS you want.

Although you have already finalized on what to buy.. Just want to mention that used Thinkpads and MacBookAirs that are used at IT companies are usually available at very cheap prices at these refurbished electronics item resellers in BLR. Good configurations, may be worn off battery though.
