Free Logitech Mx Vertical Received! (Effectively)
Paid : 13787/- with Flipkart Gift Cards
Cashback: 13946/- (159 more than I paid) in supercoins.
Super Coins will be redeemable once return window closes ie 24th May.
Plan to convert them to either Flipkart Gift Cards Or Myntra/Ajio/FirstCry/Uber depending on what's the best deal available then.
PS: Face to face with my existing Mx Master 4 (Vertical is for spouse)

@DRstran71182493 @CenturionGuy1 Many times I didnt redeem the voucher. Sometimes I just use the hotel to sleep. By the time I have checked in the bar is already closed or too tired to try out.
English
@CenturionGuy1 Definitely not my definition of loyalty perks.
Thinking too much about a welcome drink is beyond my expertise and time 🤣🤣
English
Not to sound classist…..
but if you have to brainstorm this hard just to finesse an “extra” welcome drink, you are definitely not the target guest for these hotel chains.
Optimisation is one thing but this…. I just can’t fathom this….. 😶

🚨 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫 quietly killed one of the most abused “travel hacks” in ALL loyalty program 🍷 Earlier many members used to split bookings at the SAME hotel to trigger multiple Welcome Drink vouchers. Example 👇 📅 Booking 1: 23 May → 24 May 📅 Booking 2: 24 May → 25 May Previously, many properties used to issue separate welcome drinks for both stays. Now Accor has tightened the rules officially. ⚠️ Current ALL T&C clearly says: ➡️ Consecutive stays in the same hotel with same-day checkout/check-in are treated as ONE stay ➡️ Multiple reservations with same check-in/check-out dates at same hotel = ONLY ONE voucher ➡️ Welcome drink is digitally controlled via ALL App This means 👇 ❌ No more voucher stacking by splitting bookings ❌ No more easy “back-to-back booking trick” ❌ Less flexibility for status members staying long durations Official wording from Accor: “Any consecutive stays (check-out and check-in on the same day) in the same hotel will be considered as one stay.” And: “In the event of multiple reservations in the same hotel on the same check-in and check-out dates, the voucher is only given once.” Deep impact analysis 🧵 🔹 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐭? • Frequent business travelers • Long-stay members • Accor Plus power users • Members doing rate optimization with split bookings 🔹 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲? Accor shifted welcome drinks fully into app-based digital vouchers, making duplicate issuance easier to detect & block. 🔹 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬? Likely reasons: ✅ Reduce loyalty benefit leakage ✅ Stop loophole exploitation ✅ Standardize hotel-level implementation ✅ Push app adoption & digital controls 🔹 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 For premium brands like Sofitel, Pullman & MGallery, a welcome drink can easily mean: 🍷 Wine 🍸 Cocktails 🍺 Premium beer ☕ Specialty beverages So frequent travelers could earlier extract meaningful extra value during long stays. Now that value extraction is capped sharply. Interestingly, many FlyerTalk & Reddit users had openly discussed using multiple bookings for extra vouchers earlier. Bottom line 👇 Small change on paper. But for loyal Accor elites, this quietly reduces one of the most tangible on-property perks. ❤️ If you liked the thread, please ♻️ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 | 🔖 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 | 👥 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 👉 @CardWorld_Me 🍷 ✈️ 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 🏨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 🎁 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 💳 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝

@DRstran71182493 My first sgb purchase was 3119 per gm but never doubled down on it
English
My biggest regret will be not buying gold when it was around ₹8,000/gram.
Then it rose to ₹10,000. I bought a good amount, still with reluctance.
Now I'm heavily reluctant to buy at ₹16,000.
I know I'll regret it again down the line when it touches ₹20,000-₹25,000.
🤣🤣 What a strange dilemma.

@pragyansen @suritalreja My total budget (both sides) also did not cross 10 lakhs.
Perks of love marriage. I was a student then 🤣
English
Recently been to a marriage, Ladki wala bought 100 gm of gold ornaments and Ladkewala bought same 100 gm of gold ornaments.
Just calculate the amount of gold, then they spent about 35 lacs for marrige functions.
The amount of money people spend on marriages in India is next level.

India is a Land of Showoff , the more the gold prices , the more people will find pride in giving it in marriages or occassions. . This hike in Gold Import duty is not going to change anything in India , . Infact the prices of gold has increased by 9% today which itself will show that its an investment which never depriciates. . What do you think?

My target is to have 1 KG gold with me.
Sorry Modi Ji

@suritalreja Apart from regular sip in indian mf, my main investment goes to us nowadays, almost nil in direct Indian equities

One thing is very clear; we are in extreme beer market and only thing will happen from here is bull market in sometime.
If you are investing for more than 10 years, you would agree.
Whenever there is extreme bullishness, Beer comes and vice versa.
Stay Invested.
