Miles to go before we sleep 🧭✈️. Just a #ccgeek trying to help you travel places at a discount or a little bit more 😉. Did my content help you ? Appreciate ⬇️










HDFC.. 😍 After 6 years, I was finally 'chosen' by HDFC for Credit Limit Enhancement. 😉 #ccgeek


If you’re just getting started with miles & points in India, airline redemptions can feel confusing. 😕 Hotel redemptions are easy. Airlines need some mental math. So here are 7 beginner-friendly airline redemptions that can give you your first BIG wins: Save this. 🔖


Keeda Janta Party ✊ Application opening soon ⏳





✨ Amex 25% BONUS OFFER incoming! 📅 Transfer between 1st to 30th June 💯 60k Bonvoy → 20k United miles + 10k regular United bonus + 5k extra via current 25% promo = 35,000 United miles ✈️ Have made use of this twice in last 2 years! ✅ So if you transfer 120k Bonvoy (easy via Plat Charge), you end up with 70k United miles. Pretty sweet if USA travel is on the cards. Important: 25% bonus applies ONLY on the base transferred miles, not on the extra 10k Marriott bonus. H/T: @ankurmittal



Everyone loves the headline number. Very few calculate the actual cost. 👀 Current trend: “Buy product → get massive Supercoins → convert to Air India miles” Sounds insane on paper. But here’s the part nobody wants to discuss: You are often buying a product priced at ~2.5x–3x its real market value just to manufacture miles. Example math: ₹10k-ish real value product listed around ₹20-25k. Let’s say you purchase 2-3 of the same items. → You get ~67k Supercoins for say products worth 25k (remember which you weren’t even planning to buy) → After doing all the mental maths and on a specific date you convert them to get ~65k Air India points So what actually happened? You didn’t “earn free miles”. You effectively BOUGHT ~65k Air India points by overpaying ₹40-45k on a product you probably never intended to buy at that price in the first place. That’s roughly ~0.7-0.8₹ per AI mile. Now ask yourself: Would you directly buy Air India points at that valuation? Probably not. Why ? Because for economy class, considering opportunity cost lost with all the miles you earn back on cards and with airlines on revenue booking, this 0.7-0.8 valuation seems a lot inflated. And with business class or even PE, maharaja isn’t a great value program anyways. Yes, there ARE scenarios where this can work: • If you genuinely needed that exact product • If the product resale value remains strong • If you value AI miles extremely highly post revaluation But portraying this as “free products” or “crazy loophole” is misleading. The real win in points & miles has always been: ✔️ Organic spends ✔️ Transfer bonuses ✔️ Smart redemptions ✔️ Arbitrage NOT forced spending disguised as rewards. Sometimes the cheapest miles are the ones you never bought emotionally #ccgeeks
