This isn't new because you've got apps like Yaper that help you reach milestones.
But, let me show you how to take this a step further using Yaper, Cred Mint and HDFC BillPay.
I ordered two iPhones on Yaper and got back Rs. 1L cash in my account in return.
I had approximately 35 days to pay it back. So, I decided I could put it to use with Cred Mint and get 9% interest.
I take this further by using HDFC BillPay using my HDFC Platinum Debit Card and get back 1% cashback (I have 2 accounts).
So total returns I made:
Cash reward from Yaper - 500 * 2 = Rs. 1000
Cred Mint @ 9% = Rs. 740 (30 day interest)
Reward Points @ 1% = Rs. 1000
Total Cash in Hand = Rs. 2740 + Reward Milestones/Points
I like Cred Mint because it's easy to withdraw money from the App. It does take a few days, so I don't cut it close to the Credit Card Bill due date.
