Can the airport transfer be booked for somebody else, or does it require the cardholder to be present? I can't find any related point in the TnC

I echo your words. My tryst with technofino.in is very brief but has helped me in restructuring my acc/cc. (I held a credit card of andhra bank/citi by 2006 but never utilization the full potential unfortunately).


I still have a long way to go and while cleaning and diversifying my portfolio, will continue learning /observing and making changes



My only regret is not knowing about this forum earlier (I never knew paying cc bill dues Could give cb/was OK with cred 3-10 Rs cb on cc dues of lakhs).

No issue, continue your journey from here on and in 2-3 years of time frame you'll see that you're having all top end cards and using RP's to their fullest potential.
