@imYadav31 @Uber_India You always pay 4% extra on Grab when you pay with an international card. Use Xanh SM.
English

My Grab taxi experience in Vietnam was 95% smooth.
And then I landed back in Delhi, booked an @Uber_India, and within minutes the usual drama started.
Uber app shows me ₹386, but the driver’s side shows ₹440.
Driver says something else. App says something else. Customer is stuck in the middle like a fool.
This is exactly where Uber has reached now.
They know they are in the “necessity” game. People will shout, complain, get frustrated, and then eventually go silent because next time they still need a cab.
The system is messed up, the accountability is almost zero, and the customer is just expected to adjust every single time.

Benefits of the card:
* Metal Card
* 0% Forex Card
* Complimentary Silver Status
* 3 per quarter domestic lounge accesses (12/year)
* 2 per quarter international lounge accesses (8/year)

* Excess baggage allowance (up to 15 kg, eligible fares only)
Some of these custom benefits are where things get exciting. The Abu Dhabi Business Class Lounge is a massive 3-storey lounge with buffet options, a-la-carte options, multiple bars with a super premium collection of drinks & cocktails, kids' areas, video games, recreation areas, and direct boarding gates from the lounge.
Etihad Chauffeur is a super premium pick-up/drop service and can be really valuable if you're planning drops to Dubai or beyond.
The Etihad Guest program & miles may not have much value (or maybe it does - for those Apartment redemptions), but the GOLD status can be super useful if you plan to travel by Etihad to UAE or beyond.
For me, I don't plan to swipe this card beyond the welcome bonus, which gives me one-way ticket equivalent miles from India to Abu Dhabi ECONOMY (plus taxes of about 10K).
OR it's one program which lets you convert the miles to cash (Etihad Rewards card) at ~60P! So 15K miles will give you around 9K prepaid card value for a fee of 5K++ and a Gold status.
OR you can convert miles to gift cards, for e.g. a 5K Flipkart voucher is available for 9,700 miles (~50P value per mile).
Looks like an amazing deal to me which is too good to be true to me, what do you think ?
PS: Approvals are slow for BobCard and can take several weeks, and if you hold any other card, the approvals are tricky, although it worked for me, I hold eterna, and got Etihad Premium via online application.
Interested ? Apply Here : etihadguest.bobcard.in/?utm_source=MM…
They have a fully refundable fare category. If you book, you get Gold Status, and later even if you cancel - the status stays... This sounds like a glitch, but its working 🤭 #IYKYK

@taditdash Different room hai bhai ... One is normal and other is courtyard view.

Don’t blindly book Accor stays from web… read this
Bookmark & share ♻️
While booking my Europe stays 2 months back, I noticed a HUGE difference between website vs mobile app prices.
Even yesterday, for Mercure Firenze Centro 👇
Same room
Same dates
Same guest count
💻 Website: ₹41,242 + tax
📱 Mobile App: ₹36,901 + tax
That’s a massive difference! 😳
Yes, many use TopCashback with Accor website for extra cashback…
But if the app itself is significantly cheaper, cashback won’t compensate.
Always compare:
✅ Website
✅ Mobile App
✅ Cashback value
before booking.
Sharing for awareness 🙌

@supriya_sule Only one side of the story. As usual we are more effected by an incident involving famous personalities. These sort of incidents are happening all over. We need a training on patience on the roads, first of all !
English

While travelling from Pune to Mumbai today, I had an awful experience on the highway when vehicle GJ13CF5257 rammed into my car from the side due to reckless driving. Thankfully, everyone is safe.
Incidents like these are a serious reminder that overspeeding and negligence on our roads can put countless lives at risk. I urge everyone to wear seat belts, remain alert, and drive responsibly so that our highways are safer for all.

English

@jassneetsingha Have asked my RM to upgrade my airtel axis to LTF Select. Because Axis recently upgraded my card limit from 1L to 7.7L after the airtel revaluation 😂 and now I have 0 use to that card.

@jassneetsingha Axis airtel closed and bobcard etihad guest acquired

@wittysiddharth A car is a luxury..... Keep a basic one as per half your budget for emergencies...rest book uber black or local innovas for your work... innova Crysta with bucket seats is a very very comfortable vehicle
English

I have come to a point in life where i can afford a Mercedes GLE or something of that range.
.
But at this point i have realised that instead of buying 1 crore car , i rather buy 2-3 cars worth 40 lakhs each - and keep 2 drivers for atleast 5 years. Which would help me and my family to enjoy in a better way.
.
Wt say?

Just received the 2026 Air India Maharaja Club Platinum kit…
…and this exceeded expectations.
This isn’t just a membership kit -
it truly feels premium.
Inside:
• Platinum Member Card
• Welcome Letter
• Sleek Travel Organizer
• Passport Holder
• Playing Cards
• Fridge Magnet
• Commemorative Coin Paperweight
• Platinum Member Baggage Tags
It’s the small touches that elevate the experience.
Not just points.
Not just status.
The experience shows.
Kudos, @airindia.
Platinum members - has yours arrived yet? 👀

@ankitdewan Hi wondering if I can use one stay plus night, 2 SNU for a booking of 3 days? Else 1 stay plus n 2 snu? Can the second night be settled via points? Don't see option on app for snu
English

In my recent bookings, I found out a few things about Accor that could be helpful for many people (and I welcome corrections by the pros):
1️⃣ Accor allows payment by points for non-refundable bookings, through upfront points deduction.
2️⃣ Somehow the option to pay points upfront only shows up on the app, not on the web.
3️⃣ You can only pay by points in multiples of 2000 points. The balance amount has to be paid by card. I knew this, but tend to forget.
4️⃣ The Suite Night Upgrades (SNU) you get with Platinum can only be used when paying cash. Although,the property, at its discretion (or ignorance), may allow you to pay by points during check-out. Further, as per rule, you cannot even settle other expenses billed to the room through points, when using SNUs.
5️⃣ Red-hot room rates cannot be paid through points. But again, some properties, at their discretion (or ignorance), may allow you to pay by points for these, if you email them for the reservation.
H/T @bigulchugh
6️⃣ If trying to get cashback on Accor bookings via Top Cashback, you get 6% on most hotels, but 3% on Fairmont. However, booking on fairmont.com gives you 5%.
H/T: @6lack_Mr_
7️⃣ And for those who don't know, Platinum status cannot get you access to the Gold loungesttttyy66 of course the same to same and I am going for in Fairmonts.

@AITCofficial @BJP4India @ECISVEEP Some organisations like the EC and SC which were untouchables in terms of allegations of mismanagement or favouritism are now being openly targetted by some political/ social party functionaries and we are all taking it in our stride...should this be allowed ???
English

❗️ALARMING❗️
This is the murder of democracy in broad daylight.
CCTV footage has exposed how @BJP4India, in active collusion with the @ECISVEEP, is opening ballot boxes without the presence of any relevant party stakeholders. This is gross electoral fraud being committed openly with the full knowledge and protection of the Election Commission.
They have tried every dirty trick, name deletion, voter intimidation, Central Force terror, cash flooding, and failed miserably. Now, in sheer desperation, they have stooped to tampering with EVMs. But Bengal is not Maharashtra, Delhi, or Bihar. We will not sit silently and watch them loot our democracy.
Our leaders Smt. @DrShashiPanja and Shri @KunalGhoshAgain have already begun a dharna outside Netaji Indoor Stadium. Smt. @MamataOfficial will personally visit the spot and take stock of the situation. The people of Bengal are watching this daylight robbery.
We will not allow the Delhi Zamindars and their puppet Election Commission to steal the mandate of the people.

@smartsid1094 @ccg33k This is an old list, I m sure this is updated now with more exclusions or conditions
English

@ccg33k Strange that icici has chosen to grant access to even mid-tier debit cards but only super premium credit cards
English

@MilesMogul The adani card is under rated...the lounge upgrade, the BMS benefits, the pranaam unlocks, the good reward rate on flight bookings, all in all a good card
