@contliving If you wait it'll be devalued by the time you get it.

Been considering the Magnus burgundy for a while. Still dont think I need it. Might definitely need after a couple of years. Should I get it now or wait?

@milespointspro Can we stack this with tata neu or epicure discount?

@Starcommander10 Honestly DCB was never really great for voucher spends. But if spent >45k a month on vouchers you could supplement with an amex card you should be fine.

It took me 6 months of ₹5L spends in Marriott Bonvoy CC. 2 months of fight with HDFC bank and 1 month with RBI Ombudsman just to get Diners Club Black Metal card few months ago. Now THIS 😭

@ChaiAndMiles It's irreversible and a one time thing and they will use the mail id with the accor explorer membership going ahead.

@ChaiAndMiles Same thing happened to me. Don't worry it's relatively easy to fix. Drop a mail right now to accor customer care. Then phone them up tomorrow and escalate it. They will take your details and after verification merge the accounts.

In less than 24 hours ⏰ I received the much awaited confirmation from the Accor team... but there was a twist. I was hoping they would simply upgrade my existing account from Classic → Silver. Instead, they went one step further and created an entirely new account altogether 🤦‍♂️ Any idea on how to handle this? @ameyakarve @SartanparaYash @rhoeshan

@milespointspro @AmazingCreditC @swiggydineout You can stack this with free coffee vouchers from cred. Or use the the 50 percent off with indusind visa cards.

Friday is also 25%-off-on-Starbucks day via @swiggydineout 1️⃣ Inform you’ll be paying via Swiggy 2️⃣ Tap your Starbucks card for the points 3️⃣ Scan QR code and pay via Swiggy app

@aak_ashgupta @ameyakarve Did you need to take any flights on Turkish to get upgraded to elite via etihad gold?

@ameyakarve Heres my status match journey: A hotel chain —> Air Astana —> Etihad Gold—> Turkish Elite —> SAS Eurobonus Gold Currently I hold *A Gold and Skyteam ElitePlus, both valid for 2 years!

Newest in -- the status match merry-go-round! Need to incorporate country-specific deals, but this is the broad idea :)

@ChaiAndMiles @ameyakarve The Japan discussion was so basic though. No analysis no insights. Just an ad saying "spend money on your card and pay me I'll give you the most easiest redemptions ever. "

A clear gap in what gets attention vs what creates value in the CC world 😅 Hawa-hawai discussions: 21k views📈 Actual portal analysis, redemption math & detailed discussions: 4.7k views 📉 @ameyakarve we need to do something about this.

@PaisaPrinciple You're also not taking into consideration multiplier reward rate. 3x vs 2x.

Update / Correction: Base points were missed earlier for Plat Travel Final math ⤵️ MRCC: 28,800 MR on ₹2.4L spend Plat Travel : 28,500 MR on ₹3L spend

If you have already hit ₹4L (or will before 9th March) and are planning to push till ₹7L just for 22,500 MR then pause There is Better strategy👇 After ₹4L, downgrade to MRCC instead. Spend ₹20K/month like this: • ₹1,500 × 4 transactions → 1,000 MR • Remaining ₹14K in same month → 1,000 MR Do this for 12 months: 🎯24,000 MR (bonus) 🎯4,800 MR (regular) ➡️28,800 MR on ₹2.4L spend Vs ➡️22,500 MR on ₹3L spend (Plat Travel) More points. Less spend. Smarter play. Downgrade link 👉 americanexpress.com/en-in/credit-c…

And confirmed.... ✅ 9th March is the official shok sabha! Calling onto all #ccgeeks to observe 2 mins silence for the platinum travel credit card! It was the best! Gone too soon. 🥲

Please don’t do this, guys. Credit cards pe jitne hacks karne hain kar lo, MS, order and refund, sab chalta hai. But this is straight-up fraud. A lot of countries globally have built trust-based systems, and defrauding such systems just takes away the beauty and ease of these processes for everyone else too. Even a small country like Palau unofficially works on a similar trust system. Let’s keep humanity and ethics aside for a moment. We already know how advanced and interconnected Schengen visa processing is. Now imagine if they integrate such data points, or who knows, maybe they already have, and start banning applicants for Schengen or even allied countries. If they reconcile the data and review cases, this will clearly show up as systematic fraud. It could even lead to an entire country being flagged or restricted for visas, similar to what Hong Kong did with PAR for many Indian cities.

@ccg33k What about if you already have done the 4 lakhs and gotten all the milestones? Would you still be eligible for the 22500 at 7 lakhs?

Platinum Travel Devaluation 🚨 A new ₹7L milestone is added. ₹1.9L spend → 7,500 points ₹4L spend → 10,000 points ₹7L spend → 22,500 points + Taj voucher Notifications expected soon. And before anyone jumps to conclusions - this is NOT due to the recent fiasco.

@CatchMeAbhiOrb What about if you already have done the 4 lakhs and gotten all the milestones? Would you still be eligible for the 22500 at 7 lakhs?

2 mins of Silence for all those who were super elated w/ upgrading any card to APT & showing off 2 Plat Travel Cards. Lesson - Don't cut the cake before it arrives. #ccgeek #ccgeeks #Amex

@imYadav31 Regalia gold and plat travel.

Which credit card are you using for jewellery purchase? 💍💳

@mohdmaazshaikh @Kenu73 Same. There is zero transparency here.

Trail of events for my Avios Card (Qatar Airways × IndusInd) ✈️💳 A slightly strange (and confusing) experience so far; sharing for awareness 👇 Saturday • Applied for the Avios card (thanks to @Kenu73 for helping me decide) • VKYC completed within minutes • ❌ No application number, no confirmation email • Received multiple emails saying “application incomplete”, but the Resume button didn’t work Monday • @MyIndusIndBank social media team confirmed my card is approved & generated • Even shared the last 4 digits of the card • ❌ Still no official email/SMS • ❌ Card not visible on IndusInd Bank app Tuesday • Again received “application incomplete” email • Ignored it, assuming system lag Wednesday • Early morning call to customer care (022-44066666) • Dedicated Avios team confirmed again that the card is approved & generated • Told I will receive card details only after dispatch, and the app will reflect it post that • Later the same day, a bank representative visited my residential address (I was at office), asking for ID proof and basic details Now here is the part I genuinely don’t understand: • The card was already approved & generated • This was confirmed multiple times via customer care and social media team • Last 4 digits of the card were already shared If approval and card generation are already done, what exactly is the purpose of address verification after approval? In my experience (I hold 8 active credit cards with a strong credit history), physical verification typically happens before approval, not after. Happy to understand if this is a new compliance step specific to Avios cards, but the sequence felt odd and unclear. • Post this, I received an email from Qatar Airways asking me to confirm my email ID → Looks like IndusInd initiated creation of a new QR account (My QR account email was different; phone number was the same. Luckily no Avios balance impact.) Current status ✔ Approval confirmed multiple times ❌ No official communication yet ❌ No visibility on app ❓ Card whereabouts unknown Hoping for clear, official communication soon. Sharing this so others applying are aware of the flow and possible gaps.

@mohdmaazshaikh @MilesMogul Wow. I managed to spot in my application. But in the same boat with you regarding no further updates.

@MilesMogul I accidentally pressed opt in for savings account, now my savings account is ready and no updates for card (VKYC done on Friday) Anyone applying please press “skip for now”, if they offer savings account opening!

Done & dusted! What a smooth process.. Thinking of applying for 1-2 more in the family tbh..

@karanaggarwal86 This redemption does not show up in their website. Only saw it on the app. Have you successfully made a redemption from India? Any hassles?

Planning a UK trip this summer? 🇬🇧✈️ Don’t miss Virgin Atlantic redemptions — some of the best value right now 💎 and a great time to put those Amex points to good use 💳✨ • Business Class from 23K Virgin Points one-way from BLR 🛫 • Excellent availability — up to 9 seats on the same flight 👥 • Economy from 6K points, Premium Economy from 10.5K points 🎟️ Flights are ex-Bangalore on the Boeing 787-9 ✈️ (not the A350, but still a comfortable ride 👍) If you’ve been stacking points, this is the moment 🚀
