Applies more to US then india ,nobody is buying Club Vistara Points for money

All major companies are banks now.

Starbucks held more than $1 billion in customer gift cards in 2022.

Most people in these forums have some form of balance in their e-wallets (either on Amazon Pay or Flipkart or Myntra or some other website).

At least in India all gift cards are regulated by RBI. Loyalty points are still in the grey area.

Bahot logo ko yeh bhi nahi pata ki Airline companies k apne BIN series k cards aate the.

Tumlogo ko yeh toh pata hoga k Visa Card k BIN 4 se Start, Mastercard 5, Amex 3, Discover 6 se hote the.

Par baki numbers ka kya ?

Airlines companies apne card issue karte the aur unke bhi apne starting k koi number tha, par yaad nahi konsa tha.

Amex 3, Discover 6

I thought Rupay cards start with 6 - But it's the Discover
So JCB cards to start with 3 Like amex? (My kotak myntra card starts with 3)

Things are changed now

Discover cards are start with 60, 64, 65
RuPay Cards start with 508, 60, 81, 82 (Card number start with 65 is Discover and 35 is JCB Card)
China Unionpay card start with 62
Mastercard - 5, 22-27
Amex - 34, 37
Russian Mir card - 22
Vietnam's Napas Card - 97
Indonesia's GPN Card - 19, 50, 56, 58, 60-63
Africa's famous Verve Card - 50, 65
Turkey's Troy card - 97


There is a long list....

I have a lot of money in wallets like Chaayos, Third Wave Coffee, Amazon Pay etc, only due to cashback.
