TRP @ Kettle & Travel👪🏝🏔✈️🏢

@DeepakKuma12098 @PriceActionAsif @AxisBankSupport @ccg33k Ahh okay - my bad then. I was under that impression but then haven’t had to use Atlas much with EPM & Premier.

@KettleAndTravel @PriceActionAsif @AxisBankSupport @ccg33k No quota, it should not exceed overall , I used me plus 6 guest in Qatar 2 weeks back

Hi @AxisBankSupport,@ccg33k I'm an Axis Atlas Gold member with a Priority Pass. Could you please clarify whether the complimentary international lounge visits can be used for accompanying guests, or are they limited to the cardholder only? Thanks.

@imYadav31 HSBC is same - have been trying for them to send PDF to allow my app to track expenses from there. But no luck yet !

Small Amex surprise today. I never checked card statement on mail because most things are already visible inside the mobile app. But when I searched for the actual statement PDF today to verify something, I realised something strange. Amex does not send a PDF statement on email. They just attach a link and ask you to log in to your Amex account online.

@mohitpandeyyyy @jassneetsingha Is there another good way to AZ Pay GCs - EPM, Premier and Atlas in wallet.

@KettleAndTravel @jassneetsingha I have it mainly for offline groceries. AZ Pay GC through Zepto currently working, might not work in future.

Best card for offline groceries spends.

@jassneetsingha @mohitpandeyyyy Definitely looks good - is there any other good way to AZ Pay GCs - just cautious of too many paid cards in wallet.

@mohitpandeyyyy 💯… 10% AZ Pay on Zepto is also too good !

Luxury is evident but when it comes in a place like #Singapore - it is evident that there is something fishy! Well agreed - it was courtesy @Accor - needed to pay only 8k for a 1.3 Lakh room for 4 nights at #Fairmont Singapore! #FamilyVibes #ccgeeks #vacation #singapore #travel #milesandpoints

These views from up top - Marina Bay Sands Skypark - complimentary access courtesy @HSBC_IN Premier! #vacation #travel #ccgeeks #familyfun #kidfriendly @marinabaysands

When this is the view you wake up to, luxury takes a new meaning 😊 #luxury #singapore #hotels #vacation #familyfun

VIP Lounge International 080 at BLR T2 is an amazing way to start a vacation. Thanks to ICICI EPM. New experiences await as this is just the kickoff !! @BLRAirport #ccgeek #airport #vacation #lounges

@dhimantn @ameyakarve any hacks for Singapore trip? Flying tomorrow with family on SQ and have EPM, Premier, and Atlas.

@SingaporeAir would have appreciated if you could have been a but flexible with your +-1 day rule for birthday celebrations especially if it falls within duration of return journey. I’d be happy to pay if you could still consider for our baby’s first birthday trip coming up.

@zings_wing @jassneetsingha I am being charged slightly above 3% on CRED - I know there could be others who charge less.

@KettleAndTravel @jassneetsingha I was told that rent is charged 1%+gst although we earn rewards, is that true?

Are you still paying your rent via credit cards? What's the strategy you use now?

@jassneetsingha HSBC Premier - ends up effectively 6% for my use case (Accor).

@KettleAndTravel which card?

@CardMavenIn I have one - LTF and my first few cards - kept it for some time as it still gave free international lounge. Later it just keeps its place in drawer. Do not see value in a paid Regalia Gold.

Does anyone on the timeline still hold a Regalia credit card? If yes, interested to know why have you not upgraded to Regalia Gold or another alternate card.

@credofly Premier without doubt unless Visa is running some kickass offer - seen it often on Singapore scene !

Which card will you choose if you have to take only one of the three for forex/international spends ❓

@ccg33k I’d do three premium economy just for the sake of togetherness to allow us all to travel together as that is sole purpose of a vacation. Generally would grab if there is a good upgrade offer available on revenue.

You’re 3 passengers (2 adults + 1 child), staring at an 8-hour flight… and there are only 2 Business Class seats available on miles. What will you do? 🤔 (Anything else apart from options, drop in comments) What did I do? Check the first comment 👇

@jassneetsingha @airindia No worries - with new criteria it is just a matter of time before it is silvery strike 😊

@KettleAndTravel @airindia No status now buddy … Red blood red !

Less than 24 hours to fly and Air India still sending offers to upgrade to business …. ONLY JUST 22k per pax which is 66k for us 😅 At least throw an offer which forces me to think …. @airindia you can do better. Let me see what they offer at check in tomorrow ….

@credofly @cards_wizard So you use Scapia instead of Premier for forex transactions?

@KettleAndTravel @cards_wizard Yes, for zero forex and for international trips

My go-to 3-card forex setup ✈️💳 Which card do you use for your forex spends? 1️⃣ HSBC Premier – 0.99% forex, ~3% back 2️⃣ Axis Atlas (direct hotels & flights) – 4.13% forex, ~10% back 3️⃣ Scapia – 0% forex, 0% rewards Visa + Mastercard Indian + foreign banks Zero-forex backup covered ✅ While Premier needs high TRV and Atlas issuance paused you can instantly get Scapia. Never rely on just 1 card during your trips. ₹0 Joining | ₹0 Annual | 0% Forex 👉 Apply here: credofly.com/scapia

@jassneetsingha @airindia There is still a good chance of you have the status (even silver works) and they are overbooked in economy. I had a great probability until I lost my silver status recently (hoping to revive it with recent relaxation)

no PE in this route ... I already booked seat 4 so will have ample space ... Return I have an issue ... Business + PE and I am booked in Economy .. no offer for PE yet .. only Business .. and that is also unreasonable .. I am not paying 66k ... let them fly empty .. I will manage with a muscle relaxant after flight !
