How to milk the benefits?

• If you use it on smartbuy only then 5% upto 400 (card benefits) + 5% upto 1000 (smartbuy bonus), total 1400 RP/month you'll be getting. Since Smartbuy charging convenience fees on AGV & ASV, better to buy Flipkart GV without convenience fee on smartbuy.
• For example, if you buy Flipkart GV worth 8k via Smartbuy with Millennia DC, you'll get 400 + 400 = 800 cashback, meaning 10% cashback on Flipkart GV.
• In another example, if you buy worth 20k, you'll get 1400 cashback, meaning 7% cashback on Flipkart GV. So buy accordingly as per your needs.
• If you use Millennia DC for 40k CC Payments worth 40k via Mobikwik, Paytm etc only, then 1% upto 400 cap will be over & you'll get 5% cashback upto 1000 if you purchase any GV via Smartbuy now.

Hope you've understood the benefits & enjoy the rewards ❤️. Ask if any query.
 
See this calculation

Savings Max is great (I have considered millennia here)


According to me ,


Option 1:
- You keep 25k in a savings max account earning 3% interest per annum.
- This yields an annual return of 750 Rs.
- Additionally, there's a savings of 590 Rs dc charges ( millennia)
- So, the total return for Option 1 is 750 + 590 = 1340 Rs per year.

Option 2:
- You keep 5k in a savings account earning 3% interest per annum.(Regular rural)
- This yields an annual return of 150 Rs.
- You invest 20k in a fixed deposit (FD) earning 8.5% interest for 12 months.(E.g Jana bank)
- The FD generates an interest of 20,000 * 8.5% = 1700 Rs for the year.(I did simple intrest )
- You incur a debit card fee of 590 Rs.
- So, the total return for Option 2 is 150 + 1700 - 590 = 1260 Rs for the year.

Comparing the two options:
- Option 1 offers a total return of 1340 Rs per year.
- Option 2 offers a total return of 1260 Rs for the year.
- Therefore, Option 1 is best
Calculation has a small flaw. In option 1, we are treating 590 as being credited back over and above DC fee waiver.

Let's simplify it like this.
Option 1:
Returns = Total interest - DC fee
= 750 - 0 = Rs. 750

Option 2:
Returns = Total Interest - DC fee
= Rs. (150 + 1700) - 590
= Rs. 1260

So eventually we are losing up Rs. 510 due to MAB condition.

Exactly. That is the reason I choose regular savings account (rural).

Thanks for supporting my math. This is what I said too in different words...

I have different approach
See by maintenance of 25k in option 1
I am technically saving 590 dc feees which I would have paid otherwise
So thats a saving

Yeah now I got it

Sorry guys there is small mistake as point out by some mathematicians


So in option one 590 will not be included as it's already waived off

So option 2 is great!

@pothi thanks for pointing out man
 
Mere dimag mai aapka megastar tier ka chehra aagya tha shayad se isi wajah se hua hai😂😂😂😂😂😂
I do not think you are Wrong by Including 590.

Visit Bank website, Banks shows these Waived off charges as Savings

By Opening this Account your Saving Rs.XXX, it includes value of all Privileges Given with that Account

Value chart utha ke dekhlo kisi bhi Credit Card/Bank Account, yeh Waived off charges ko Savings hi btayege.

You must have heard a word "Perquisite", yeh 590 wahi hai for 25k Maintaince Account, toh add hone chayie😂
