OneCard SIB: Least used card. 11% Limit Enhancement.

Since ICICI Coral started sur-charge, I might switch to this. Even GST (on sur-charge) is refunded (so far) by OneCard (SIB).

Noticed this only today after an SMS & email from RBIO as compensation by NSDLPB for the delay to do video KYC.

Thanks to RBIO King (@sjmajumder) and others who shared their compensation stories!

With Slice SB account, adding a beneficiary requires just the account number for some banks such as Axis, HDFC, ICICI, SBI, BoB, Canara. They do this by adding a common IFSC code, instead of asking branch-specific IFSC code. Nice!

ICICI CC credit limit can be lowered as per our wish. Currently, it takes less than 60 days for this change to reflect in CIBIL. Used to take upto 90 days. A fellow member also confirmed this a couple of days ago. Ref: https://www.technofino.in/community/threads/38732/

We can lower the limit upto 10% of max limit given to us. For example, if the given credit limit is 5lac, we can reduce it to 50k.

If we hold multiple ICICI CCs, each card can be configured its own limit.

Useful when applying for SBI CC that can reject applications due to over leverage!

The credit limit can be increased immediately upon approval of SBI CC.

Please follow the aforementioned thread to know how to lower credit limit on other banks' CCs.

Hi,

From time to time and every month there have been so many offers going on on Sbi Rewardz and the same thread has been used to discuss these offers since September. I think it's better to use same thread again for any new offer and therefore I don't see a point in locking this thread.

Nice to see Slice started spreading the word out about their SB account. Underrated bank account at the moment.

HDFC upgraded the netbanking UI. Got the following banner, just after logged-in. Look nice for the eyes (not just the banner).

The new netbanking login page (at https://now.hdfcbank.com/ ) asks for OTP (sent via mobile) upon each login. 🙁 So, I am sticking with old UI for now (and then go to new UI from there). Oh wait! I can't login via old login URL anymore. It redirects automatically to the new login URL. 🙁

PSA: Two common issues that I come across in TF.

1. Not paying MAD (and paying TAD later than due date, that was in turn due to unavoidable circumstances or due to technical reasons).
2. Rotating money (even 10k rotation) that can lead to temporary freeze of bank account and/or the credit card. Some tricks are posted in the name of educational content. Every trick comes with certain risk. Calculate the risks before diving in.

Direct quote from https://www.technofino.in/community/threads/38052/#post-941626

I regularly settle MAD (min amount due) just after bill generation, even though I configured autopay

Click to expand...

Truly "mad" group of people. Or is it just one "mad" person who pays mad irrespective of autopay?

Thanks everyone for a great year. I learnt a lot from the last 12+ months than what I had learned in the previous 10+ years. Of course, outside of banking too, I grew up as a better person since joined, thanks to people who trolled me, provided criticism that only shaped me to where I am. Still a long way to go. I may not be as much active as I used to. I will still check TF community from time to time like checking my HDFC Millennia DC rewards every few hours, every day, every month, until it arrives. 😝

Received an email regarding JioSafe.com, an app for chat, calls and video calls/conference. Any (Jio) user using it? Thoughts? BTW, it's a paid app. Just FYF. 😆

Amazon Pay wallet load using Amazon Pay ICICI CC used to give 2 reward points per every 100 rupee. Now, just 1 point per 100 rupee spent. Another devaluation or was it already announced?

Received a call from SBI to pay CC bill of 1lac that was past due. For CC ending with 0212. I thought SBI credit card is a private and separate entity than SBI bank. Now, the customer care said they'll collect the dues by deducting the money from my SBI SB account. Someone please help me. What do I do as I don't have a CC, nor savings account with SBI?
