This monitor is available for Rs 12499 + Card discounts Beware guys... Supercoins trap is being shared left right and center... If you buy this for 26000 for 26000 super coins which is available for 12499. You literally are have low IQ. Why? You spent Rs 26.5k + Supercoins. You can't convert it to cash. you get more vouchers.... and pay the bill in the end. Avoid #ccgeeks #supercoins

Why is BH registration being denied in Haryana? I went to 3-4 dealers all said only Delhi and UP are allowing. Is this true or a collective scam?

‼️ RANT -STORY TIME - My tryst with VFS GLOBAL - Mumbai for Schengen Visa appointment where a 20 mins delay ( not delay in reaching on time but delay due to some circumstancial issue) we were forced to buy the premium lounge service. So here it goes : Date of appointment: 27/04/26 Time: 10 am No of applications: 5 It so happened we family of 5 reached vfs Mumbai - Mahalaxmi office at 9:55 am precisely . The moment we reached my 5 yr old son complained of stomach upset / pain and wanted to go to the washroom for the obvious. So we decided that me and dad proceed with the counter queue as we were right on time to head to and mom - wife decided to join us 15-20 mins late after attending to my sons issue. On reaching the counter at about 10:05 am , we informed the officer that there are 3 more applicants who will join us in the next 15-20 mins as they are stuck in the washroom with the kid but he denied blatantly saying he cant allow as the slots are full . We said we are ready to wait and give us the last slot but they still turned deaf ears. After a while with lot of deliberation , finally bearing the vile -smile , they gave us the VFS special offering saying the only way out now for us is to rebook the appointment for another day - pay the fees again or use the premium lounge service with a walk in appointment now. To my amusement , these bigots even gave a discount even without me asking - instead of 4 adults sir you pay for 3 and get in 👏. Had to give in because of the "illusion of choices " i was left with. VFS Global’s Premium Lounge service is nothing but A Pay to Play Extortion Scheme where services are upselled through sheer force of "illusion of choices "you are left with. Well done @VFSGlobal 👏👏, if extortion is an art than VFS is the RENAISSANCE . They bring a whole new era of creativity to the extortion shakedown.

You only start appreciating certain features when you’re in absolute soup 😅Our numbers are prepaid and don’t work in J&K area. So while every other card has taken a backseat, Amex has suddenly moved to the front seat, simply because they send OTPs on email as well 🙌 ✅Small features BUT massive convenience.

Banks are quietly killing “free” lounge access with ₹50K–₹60 spend conditions 👀 But 2 black cards still stand out 👇 💳 HDFC Marriott Bonvoy • 24 lounge visits/year (domestic + international) • Best for frequent traveler’s + FNA covers the fee 💳 IndusInd Tiger (LTF) • 8 domestic(2 per quarter) + 2 international visits/year 👉 Marriott = premium travel play 👉 Tiger = no-BS backup card These 2 = one of the smartest lounge setups in India right now ✈️ Apply Now 👉HDFC Marriott : jasscc.short.gy/BjYZxc 👉Indusind Tiger : jasscc.short.gy/mJ3QME

@jassneetsingha I agree. I just wish they re structured the offer: Unlock 1 lounge on every 30k spend and max limit of lounge per year as 8 or 12 or 30 depending on annual fee of card. (This spend in previous month, previous qaurter is tedious.) Same for bogo, give bms gift card on spend of 50k.

@ccg33k I agree with benifits of add on with different card numbers. Its Must have. But if user is have primary and addon of same card number, i have seen(Apr 2026) bank is re issuing addon for free when primary is blocked and replaced. Only primary block and replace charged at 118 Rs.

If you're an HDFC Metal Card holder and have add-ons with the same number as your primary card, don't forget to call customer care and request different-numbered add-ons before May 15th. After that date, a replacement fee of ₹4,130 (including GST) will apply to each card. This is important because if your primary card is lost, all "mirrored" add-on cards must be replaced. If you have three add-ons, that replacement exercise could cost you ₹16,520! (Even for plastic cards with same addon numbers, it would be ₹939)😭 Also, with different numbered addons you get increased SmartBuy voucher quota ie you can get extra limits for capped vouchers (like Amazon Pay. ASV, Flipkart vouchers) per add-on and during e-commerce sales, you can use bank offers multiple times since each card with a separate number has its own quota.

HDFC Bank sending out devaluation notice to HDFC Infinia card holders. 🔁 DCC Fee Markup revised to 1.75%++ from 1%++ Earlier ! 💳 Card Re-issuance Fee • ₹199 - Non-metal cards • ₹3,500 - Metal cards 🤯 and that's all..... although the card replacement fee of 3500 hurts, but if this is the only change, we will happily take it.. no cut in reward rates, no changes in transfer partners ratio, no changes in multiplier caps.. which was expected, this is amazing..

@CardNiti Crazy arbitrage if used right 👀 But only makes sense if you can redeem Air India points at ₹0.7–₹1+ value otherwise the “50% bonus” is just marketing.

Magnify just dropped something crazy !! 50% bonus on Air India from 27th to 31st May, and Air India itself is also running up to a 50% bonus. Effectively, 1 Magmile = 2.25 Air India points (for ~67k MagMiles) Quick ways to get Magmiles: - Convert Supercoins to Magmiles (2:1) - Convert MR points to Magmiles (4:1) (via Marriott → Supercoins → Magmiles) Other ways: - Buy GVs - Shop & Earn - Apply for cards Run the math and use it only if it fits your redemption plans.

💳 HDFC INFINIA vibes: Primary card arrives like royalty - full luxury BOX treatment 🗃️✨ Add-on cards? Mailed in a basic Envelope like some utility bill ✉️💸 Bro, earlier even add-ons got the full box glow-up. Now it’s “one for the king, scraps for the fam” 😂 Cost-cutting so hard even the packaging got de-ranked. #HDFCInfinia

It doesn't make sense to have 2:1 ratio for Air India with HDFC premium cards like Infinia, DCB etc. Do you agree?

@OntheRoadAJ Must be everywhere. I was driving and alerts on two phones combined startled me to say the least and everyone else on the road. My wife’s been getting these alerts on her phone for the past few days so she didn’t even flinch.

🇮🇳 Air India’s revised Tier-based cancellation benefits are only for award bookings made on or after April 1, 2026. If you're holding on to an Award ticket booked before that date, cancellation would be as per Fare Rules.
