Rest can't be measured in INR

Some get rest and it's priceless to them, some keep working hard without rest all day all night long to make ends meet

If only it was easy to quantify rest

And some Rest in peace. 😷

I haven't used any of those. But it should give. Read the TnC of TNI and do an offline swipe.

That's why it is called sona (gold) in Hindi.

Spoiler: etymology

For those who have been wondering why sona means gold and sleep as well in Hindi.
Hindi adopts Sanskrit vocabulary as tadbhavas (approximately), so

swarna (gold) in Sanskrit becomes sona in Hindi
Shayana (recline/sleep) in Sanskrit becomes sona in Hindi.

Kinda lossy conversion where 42.2 , 42.3 are rounded to 42.

I'm thinking of buying through smartbuy imagine. 5x , 15k cap, plus base, gst invoice also available. The only thing i don't see is how to trade in current iphone.

I have HDFC DCB plastic will I earn 13.6k reward points if I buy from HDFC smartbuy imagine ??

AFAIK, DCB plastic has a daily cap of 2.5K Bonus points so you won't get 13.6K RP.

I think dcb metal hax 3x rewards on imagine store

so I only get 2.5K rewards as it daily cap. So no point in using smartbuy imagine if I can get upfront 5K discount dicount on my ICICI credit card right?

Please confirm if there's any capping if I buy online using TNI or should go to croma?

Couldn't find any capping in any T&Cs

Only capping I could find is fair usage policy which 6L for electronics in a month. Reference Doc


@APT do update if you find any capping

Tata neu app shows the offer. Even if you go to croma iphone 17 product page you can see the offer. Offer link.

I was thinking to pay the minimum amount (70-80%) with icici/sbi cc which will fetch 6K and balance with either swiping TNI or croma gc to get 10% cb as neu coins.

I’m a bit sceptical about Tata neu cashback as they’ve now categorised cashback based on usage and I don’t think I come in top tier of their category.

The tiering level system is for their Tata Neu affiliate system, which is capped at 500. So it won’t effect infinity card’s 10% offer
