    Hey, do you any tricks to get METRO membership as a regular individual (they offer it only to bussiness people who have GST)? They offer great discounts across many things, but sadly not open to regular customers.

    After Reliance takeover of Metro India business, it was announced that it will be soon opened to regular retail customers as well.
    But since then no concrete news about what's the procedure and so far unable to verify from anyone actually trying this.

    I just came across Essentia Platinum Credit Card which is basically mini HSBC CB card (10% upto 500 per month with 749 annual fee) & this card is discontinued.

    Fingers crossed for HSBC CB.

    Any idea whoever is using this card why are they not giving cashback on these merchants - "Raz Credence" and "Samast Technologies Pvt. Ltd." - any leads would be helpful. Thanks.

    Has anyone used these? As I just saw a review on Amazon, in which it said that these gift cards did not work for products purchased in Smart Bazaar(In the jiomart app).

    Visa platinum and matched with earlier discussion with customer support provided mccs.

    Let me know if any changes..
    Click to expand...
    nope, no changes required

    I was looking for the list in the post where you had put eligible MCCs after call with Customer support but found this one which was similar to Visa Platinum offer

    Now we can conclude that this is official list of MCCs which HSBC considers under Restaurant, Food & Grocery Category

    Yes, Since it came from HSBC, these are the mcc registered in their system for these categories.

    Some other mccs also might apply but for now these are matching with Swgy, zmto, bb etc. known websites.

    My wife just got this card (brainwashed my wife to apply it 🤣🤣, and we can close one other card) .

    Btw , how the cashback cycle works ? Is that calender month like millennia or statement cycle ?
    Do we need to wait until statement generates too see the cashback or we can see in 2 to 3 days after transaction settles . ?

    Thanks

    It is usually ~18 days after the stmt generation, essentially 2-3 days after the pmt due date of the last stmt. For my wife's 15 Dec stmt, the CB was posted on 3rd Jan.

    It is actually 45 days from statement generation so in next to next statement the cb gets posted (worst thing about this card)
