@ccg33k @dineshstriker8 @HSBC_IN @imYadav31 @PranaySuhasMund Totally agree. I've faced the same problem. Looks good on paper, but I haven't actually gotten to try it because they can always say they're not available 🙄

@dineshstriker8 @HSBC_IN @imYadav31 @PranaySuhasMund Superb card/experience when it works, unfortunately, the vendor has been doing shabby job by rejecting most bookings citing no availability.

Just used the HSBC T1 airport transfer offer, and the cab was perfectly on time! Big kudos to @HSBC_IN for providing such premium benefits with the T1 card. 👏✈️ #HSBC #AirportTransfer #ccgeeks @ccg33k @imYadav31 @PranaySuhasMund

@ValueWithPrem @ccg33k @SartanparaYash I think #ccgeeks have to do better to bring this up more..afterall Kalyan is our preferred brand isn't? 🤪😝

I come from a gold jewellery business family. Everyone laughed when I said the gold jewellery business is slowing down. Gold is at all time highs,they said. Markets don’t price ground reality until they’re forced to.👇🏻

🚨 The Air India INR hack • AI flights originating from India are priced in INR • AI flights originating from abroad are priced in the currency of origin ✅ But what if Air India flights originating from abroad could also be paid for in INR? 💰 Especially beneficial for… • Amex Plat Charge/Cent holders • Atlas/other cardholders due to no FX charges ⏬️ Here’s how this works ⏬️ (1/3)… 🧵

Dude, you're lucky! I had Swiggy One membership for ages (thanks to all those credit card offers), stacked up, and it always showed a date like 2+ years away. But then it'd expire in a few months, and even after a bunch of emails, I never got it for the full period. Check out the screenshot, it says 44 days since I always have to pay for 3 months every time, and as soon as I subscribe, it shows my original period again. But once those 3 months are up, it'll say Swiggy One expired again 😭😑 I bet they got some interns to code the validity logic.

🚨 Swiggy Blocked Me for 5 Years — X Got It Unblocked in HOURS 🚨 My Swiggy account was blocked for 5 YEARS with zero explanation. Tried everything: CEO mails, Grievance Officer, NCH, PG Portal, local govt bodies… All useless. Then I posted on X. 👉 Within HOURS I got a call. 👉 Multiple approvals taken. 👉 Account finally UNBLOCKED. They still don’t know why it was blocked — “system info limited”. Wild. I had wallet money + membership left too — they’re checking that now. And the craziest part? Himanshu’s account also got unblocked & he got his ₹60,000 wallet balance back. This happened ONLY because of X. Nothing else worked in 5 years. Thanks to everyone who boosted the post — you made this go big. If anyone is stuck with the same issue, DM me — I’ll share the escalation email.

Klook's my jam for international trips. Sweet that we can save more now.

@FinPaal @onpointindia @ccg33k @SartanparaYash So, the big question is, will it give affiliate cashback for gold orders or not? 😋 I don't see it excluded in the T&Cs like CashKaro and Zingoy, but it's probably excluded here too.

🚀 New Affiliate Player in Town – @onpointindia! A fresh entrant with a different approach to affiliate rewards - and some seriously high earn rates. 👀 For example: 🛍️ Myntra earn rate: 9% (compared to 3–4% on most other portals!) But that’s not all - unlike the usual cashback or gift card redemptions, @onpointindia lets you transfer your earnings to airline partners ✈️ - a game-changer for travel enthusiasts! Of course, traditional redemption options like gift vouchers are still available. Check it out here 👉 on-points.com/?referral=BOBF… 🛠️ P.S.: It’s a new app still under development, so you might spot few gaps. Features like Gift Card buying are currently being built out(most awaited)

@ankurmittal Most of the folks never even read their receipts and then after few months they get a charge and then create this disporea that now they are charging. If banks want to charge a certain fee, they will clearly mention it in terms and conditions.

None of the documents mention about charges on using priority pass issued along with Infinia in India.

Again there has been confusion regarding using priority pass issued with Infinia in India. The bank has clarified that there won’t be any charges, though they suggest using credit card. Family members have been using almost every month and there has been no charges till yet, just make sure there is no guest added to the priority pass which is chargeable.

@ankurmittal Correct. I have inquired with multiple folks who were claiming they were "charged" and later found they actually had 0+1 where the lounge staff charged them with guest 😂. I have been using PP on Del T3 domestic every month from last 1+ year and never got charged.

@SartanparaYash @ccg33k @cards_wizard @CardTroller Haha sammeeeee!

How i distinguish my priority passes. Cost - 10₹ and 30 seconds For the peace of mind till the expiry. @ccg33k @cards_wizard @CardTroller

@aadil @dhimantn @ameyakarve Congrats, Aadil & everyone at @greatindianmile! This feels like a personal win to me. The content is awesome and helpful. Don't stop! 🚀

10,000 strong! 🫨 What started with @dhimantn, @ameyakarve & me wondering, “Do others geek out on points like we do?”… turned into this beautiful tribe! ❤️ Thank you for tuning in, coming to Flight Mode, and flying with us! 🫡 This isn’t a flex. It’s fam! 🙌🏻

@ccg33k Totally agree! Couldn't have said it better.

The kind of mania around UAE's Golden Visa for 23 lakhs is not just about immigration. It's a massive signal - a signal of how deeply frustrated the Indian middle and upper-middle class is with the tax system in India. It genuinely feels like a scam sometimes when You slog your guts out, put in 10-12 hour days, generate value, and what happens? 40% to 50% of your hard-earned income vanishes - swallowed in direct and indirect taxes. And in return? What do you really get? Crappy public healthcare. Broken roads. Chaotic urban planning. Overloaded public transport. Zero safety. Slow-as-snail courts. Skyrocketing education fees. Zero job security. No green spaces. No accountability. And still - no transparency in how your tax money is used. That's the harsh truth. And to make it worse - only a tiny fraction of people actually pay taxes. Salaried professionals and honest business owners carry the entire damn burden. And guess what? They're done. They've had enough. If you give them even half a chance to work remotely or settle abroad, they'll take it - just to escape this unjust system. People are literally calculating how much they can save just by not living in India. The math adds up. Live in a tax-free or low-tax country, enjoy better infrastructure, public services, and peace of mind - all paid for by the tax they no longer pay in India. And this isn't just an economic shift - it's an emotional rebellion. Against being punished for being compliant. Against watching corrupt netas, tax-evading businessmen, and fake “farmers” never pay a penny while enjoying all the privileges. If this continues, India will be left with a brain drain of its most productive citizens - the very people who are still holding this system together. The government needs to wake up. Reduce the tax burden on the salaried and professional class. Stop treating honest taxpayers like ATM machines. Instead, go after the ones hiding income, parking money in real estate and shell companies, and avoiding taxes in broad daylight. Reform the tax net. Fix enforcement. Improve public services. Build trust. No one's saying the government is doing nothing, but it's not enough. Not when millions are now looking at Golden Visas, Global South residencies, or moving their jobs abroad - just to get a fair deal. India needs to become a place where people want to stay, not one they're desperate to escape...

@gurumilespoints Totally agree with what you said. Keep it up, it's really helpful.

Everything is engagement farming for some people. 🤷‍♂️ I have consistently alerted people of the ANA and Japan Airlines sale as soon as it starts, for the last one year. First of all ANA and JAL are the best in class, you wouldn’t get their flights for 40k without the sale. Secondly these flights are direct flights, the other flights you might get at 40k are either one stop flights or also available due to another sale like Singapore Airlines/Air India, which I alert as well. @SwetankRed please understand the difference between engagement farming and real posts before commenting. The alerts help a lot of people plan their trips. It’s not easy to visit Japan without the sale and lot of people eagerly wait for the sale. So stop calling it engagement farming!

🏩 ITC is back with a lot of revaluations & some devaluations as well! @ITCHotels @ITCHotelsCares 👉 The prices for Elite membership has increased by 8,500/- (40% increase !!) to 29,500. 👉 What looks interesting is that there is a 5 Year Culinaire Membership, which looks like a good way to invest group B points to avoid potential devaluation and getting 2 nights per year plus some great value vouchers. 👉You get a 33% discount (also protection from inflation of prices for next 5 years) when you buy 5 years membership when compared to 1 year membership Benefits of Culinaire Membership : 1️⃣ Dining Benefits ✅ Flat 20% off on dining at 350+ ITC, Welcomhotels, Fortune, Mementos & Storii [NEW] ✅ Earn up to 12% Green Points on F&B spends (Tier based) ✅ Earn Green Points on room stays too (up to 8%) (Tier Based) ✅ 20% off on spa & laundry during stays [NEW] 2️⃣ Choose Your Plan 🎯 Two plans: Select & Elite 3️⃣ Freebies & Vouchers 🎁 Select Plan: 🔹 1 Free Night Stay 🔹 2 Buffet Meals for 2 🔹 2x 50% off dining for 4 🔹 1 Complimentary Cake 🔹 3 vouchers for 15% off hotel stays 🎁 Elite Plan: 🔹 2 Free Nights (Interestingly all ITC hotels) 🔹 4 Buffet Meals 🔹 2x 50% off dining 🔹 1 Complimentary Cake 🔹 5 vouchers for 20% off hotel stays 4️⃣ Milestone Rewards Spend more, earn more 🎯 🍴 ₹30K: Room upgrade 🍴 ₹90K: Free buffet for 2 🍴 ₹1.2L: ₹5,000 hotel credit 🍴 ₹2L: Extra free buffet for 2 Important things to note : 🔹Complimentary nights are applicable on all ITC Hotels unlike before where some hotels required 2 vouchers for one night, this unlocks amazing value that can be derived. 🔹50% offer no longer applies on all specialty restaurants - Bukhara and Avartana are excluded, but 20% as a Culinaire members should world. 🔹Earlier you would get 25% GP back on dining expenses (paid in cash) but now its 20% upfront discount + 3%-12% GP back (Love it !) 🔹20% flat discount on Spa while staying is another welcome Benefit ! 🔹Milestone benefits are most probably going to be linked to Cash Spends and not GP spends, so we'll have to wait and see. 🔹They've removed Upgrade vouchers from list of available benefits, they used to give amazing value as one voucher could upgrade your stay to next category room for entire stay (usually industry standard is it applies to one night I think) ✅It looks interesting proposition on paper, gives great value for the points if you're able to redeem at those ITC Hero properties like Grand Bharat or Grand Goa... etc My analysis assumes that we'll buy this memberships from points and not with cash. Personally I don't like to spend cash on these programs when there is option to burn points. Some might not agree who can extract a value of more than ₹1 with these points, but I am happy at ₹1. 🤓 In case I miscalculated any feature, let me know in comments. TnC and Participating Hotels list is yet to be updated, but I am looking forward to this new program ! ❤️ ♻️ | ❤️ | 🔖 - Repost if you found it helpful. (Sweet Spots list of hotels soon ! Stay Tuned !!) #CCGeek #ITCHotels #CreditCards #TravelOnPoints #CCGeeks

MUST READ TILL THE END 💳 It was Ramesh and Priya’s 10th wedding anniversary. Priya, slightly disappointed, asked, “So… no gift this year?” Ramesh smiled and said, “Of course there’s a gift. Check your WhatsApp!” She opened her phone. A screenshot: ✈️ Round-trip flight to Paris 🏨 5 nights at Ritz Paris 🚖 Chauffeur pickup 🎁 Room decorated with roses and macarons Priya’s jaw dropped. “You booked all this?!” Ramesh: “Nope. My credit cards did.” 🟣 Axis Magnus: Flights (Edge Miles) 🟣 Amex Plat: Hotel Upgrade + Late Checkout 🟣 HDFC Infinia: Free Dineout at Michelin-starred place 🟣 ICICI Emeralde: Airport lounge, free spa Priya (teary-eyed): “You’re incredible!” Ramesh (smirking): “I’m just a man… with an Airtel Axis for Netflix too.” 💡 Moral: Marry someone with good credit card strategy. All ccgeeks, show this to your wife 😂

@imYadav31 @getscapia Yup, got it in April already. Very smooth process, only had to give my selfie if I remember correctly.

BREAKING: @getscapia just solved a mystery that haunted many of us 🕵️‍♂️💳 Earlier: ❌ “You already have a Federal Bank credit card..... so… no card for you.” Now: ✅ “Come on in, applied.....VKYC is waiting!” Yes, existing Federal Bank customers can now apply for the Scapia Credit Card 🎉 I just applied and completed VKYC smooth as butter 🧈 Thanks @ProfessorCardz for the update ✨️

@ccg33k @thetrickytrade @AskEnvici 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@thetrickytrade @AskEnvici Big fat thick plushy chubby plump padding in case of Air India

Thanks @GoldDealsIndia, I ordered the Kalyan 5g 24kt gold bar using the HDFC 10X offer and my Infinia card for ₹48530 with the coupon, but with the 10X HDFC Myntra reward points offer, it's basically ₹32380 for 5g of 24kt gold. In March, I got the same thing due to HDFC 10X offer for around ₹31k effectively, so I'm basically getting September 2023 prices in 2025! 😂😜

@Arunhurdle @GoldDealsIndia @ccg33k Yes, on Kalyan 5g 24kt coin. With 10x now, got it for effectively ~31k. x.com/DedS6c/status/…

@DedS6c @GoldDealsIndia @ccg33k Was this on gold coin purchase

Don't listen to this guy, 10x was credited for March sale too! If you ordered in March 10x sale, check your points in MyCards / Smartbuy app numbers ! Comment if you got the points.. Order again this time - Totally worth it! 🍻 #GoldLoot #33PercentBackOnGold

@pkd_piyush @GoldDealsIndia @ccg33k Yes, that 4%/8% coupon reference is for gold only 🤪

@DedS6c @GoldDealsIndia @ccg33k On gold purchase?
