I think you might be going through some kind of depression. I’ve seen some of your comments, and I truly feel that way. @bhavik886151 already mentioned that someone with such financial management skills and businesses can achieve this, and yet you’re asking @bhavik886151 to earn... lol

Yes indeed - you are the biggest depression on this community as you do not the difference between earn and learn.

Also, calling manufactured spends financial management and taking time to read all my comments shows how useless you are on this planet.

Go - get some family time and use it for a worthy cause.

Do you even know the OP? Do you know anything about his businesses? Calling someone out and claiming they rely solely on manufactured spending without knowing them is the height of ignorance. But yes, I get it—when you can’t earn enough rewards and see someone else doing well, jealousy kicks in. It’s common, I understand.

It seems like the TF team removed you from their moderator team, and now this jealousy is showing. Haha, a comment like this was bound to come from you. Good decision by TF to remove you as a mod. No community would want moderators making comments like this.
And having been a credit card user for the past 20 years, I can confidently say that earning this much reward solely through manufactured spending is impossible.

Awwwwww- u r sounding like a chamchaaa- change your name from Card Troller to Chamchaaaaaaaaaaaa.

And how do you know they removed me as Moderator - didnt you see my comment as you are following me so much depressed insaan?

I chose myself to exit as I dont take orders from anyone - and for free, I wont even give 2 productive seconds to anyone.
 
I don't understand reason of argument here.

@TechnoFino shared his portfolio & disclosed details which he's comfortable sharing with everyone, not all details can be shared.

If there is any law break by anyone, let respective agency do their homework. I am sure law & financial agencies keep monitoring such irregularities, if there is any.

If someone is earning legally & earning rewards, it should motivate others.

We are nobody to judge. We can give opinion but can't question anyone's earning or profession as everyone is not comfortable sharing all details & they shouldn't also.

If we start judging financial journey of others without full knowledge, why anyone will be comfortable to share in forum in future ?

There is thin line between giving opinion and passing judgment. Let's remember this. We all are here to gain knowledge about financial world by learning from experience of others, good or bad.

Hahaha!

Check out my Twitter, my buddies and I often take digs at almost everyone. But yeah, we never blame anyone without solid proof.

Also, everyone knows you were a mod—you even posted about it when @Subhankar mentioned they were looking for new mods.
But I have one question: did they promise you any monetary benefits when they onboarded you as a mod? Don’t you know it was a voluntary role?

Show us proof that they pressured you into doing something or promised you monetary benefits. Otherwise, maybe call yourself a hypocrite for joining their mod team in the first place.

Now I realised, why you are taking things personally.

When u call someone chamcha, useless etc etc then that is fine. But when someone asks u what's your problem? Why you being so judgmental then it triggers your ego. Why such a hypocrisy man!

I really don't know what's the issue between you and TechnoFino, but I can see your frustrations.

Take rest man. You seriously need it.

Should I trust Yes bank with 5 Cr?
Click to expand...
Yes if you want to cry blood tears. It's a fraud bank. They have no grievance system. If you have a good friend or relation with anyone in yes bank with branch manager or high level executive than no problem otherwise they'll freeze your account as soon as you fund it with sizable abount and than ignore you. Than run after RBI for help or close account

How did you get the Biz Black with Infinia. I have DCB METAL (not upgrading to Infinia because of its milestones benefits), thinking of getting BIZ BLACK (business and ITR needs) too. Since both of these are CORE cards, is it possible to have both? Share your experience.

I'm pretty sure he will not share such in-depth details with you publicly. 😈😈😈
 
For anyone reading this, DO NOT make the mistake of thinking "I'll harass banks to give me these same cards and then even I can amass points like Sumantha and do FREE FREE FREE foreign trips."
It is just like how simply getting an MRF cricket bat cannot make you bat like Tendulkar or Kohli!
