Heavy Duty is a misnomer.. or mostly a marketing gimmick... Typically the main element of an AC is the Compressor, which is the heart and there very few reputed ones being used by most branded ones. Some even used to import like Hitachi. ALmost all companies are assemblers with some technology...

You can buy directly at Amazon or Woohoo etc Also I think Gyftr has separate limit for Amex-Gyftr, AxisGyftr, Smartbuy, etc

I have booked multiple times over call. They are always supportive and helpful. Also they sends the blocked ticket by mail to check and confirm even before you start the payment process. It is strange that you have not recd it.

SCB and DCB basic benefits are almost same. On top of that DCB has smartbuy 5X/10X (max 7500). It was a gem of a card till 2020 or so. It has been devalued so much that it is not worth anymore. SCB has only one benefit that it was accepted everywhere. I have stopped using SCB as well. That will...

I continue to hold magnus as it is free for this year. Next year will evaluate as I don't think the current value from the card is good enough. If you have liked the card, then better go for maximising ER using Grabdeals, Gyftr/edgerewards and Travel Edge. On an average, if your spend mostly...

Not sure why someone will get a super premium credit card to get cash value from loyalty points. Typically most go for other redemptions for best value. For Infinia it is Smartbuy that gives best value whereas Magnus it is Hotel and Airline transfer partners. SO if you are looking for cash...

Magnus calculation is wrong For travel edge you don't get both. You just get 5X. So basically 60 points per 200 upto 2 lacs. travel edge spend is not considered for 150K milestone benefits (neither Gyftr spend is considered).

SCB Ultimate - started with Manhattan with 3 lacs 12 yrs back and upgraded to Ultimate and in last round, 1 yr back they increased the limit from 6.5 to 10lacs. Amex- using it for 6-7 yrs- still the limit is 4 lacs- Never got any offer. Never requested also Axis- started with Vistara 4 years...

Diners black was 8 lacs. Many websites specially Those 10% cash back offers with Amazon, Flipkart etc

Max limit among other cards was 8 lacs. All others are in between 5-6 lacs. Even I was taken aback. As this card is hardly used except for special ICICI offers, this is of hardly any use. Still I think to apply other premium cards (which allows C2C) it will come in handy.

I got the Sapphiro card LTF. In fact I was begged to take it and with a whooping 20 lacs limit. I have relationship with ICICI salary account for more than 2 decades plus home loan from the same. It is not much beneficial except occasionally when they comes out with 10% etc offers. Not sure...

It works only with the old IDs only in my case.

It will be considered as prepaid.

But I think it is not available for Accor Plus members.

JAL redemption is complicated as it needs 6 mths cooling period after registration. Also why waste 12000 points for BKK-HKT-BKK? Better book AirAsia which most times are available at around 2k-3K one way.
