You get 10k EMT and 10k Klook (if you reach 2L). If these two are of any use then it is okay to take the card based on your spend of <2L in an year.
You are only getting 9%(12-3%) for Apay and Flipkart. SBI CB gives you atleast 5% on other platforms.
On an avg, I would say max profit of 4% above...
In 8 months you will only get 8000 status points .. You need 6000 more for platinum. Based on the current Euro rate, you get approx. 2500 Status points per Lac. So you can calc how much you have to spend for the year based on available status points in account..
FYI. if not looking for red hot...
Refer to the post by @DevilDog . He has cancelled the monthly subscription and renewed yearly. If we loose everything on cancellation then everyone would only take it in Jan. And, as you would have seen in this thread many took it last year during Black Friday sale. This Nov when they cancel...
Indian cards don't work for monthly debits. I believe annual renewal will also not work as its Indian card. You can cancel the sub and take it again next year.
Status points won't be lost AFAIK.
Breakup:
Feb: Rs. 12000
Mar: Rs. 10000
Rs. 12000.
1st Statement Generated in Mar showing 1880 RP.
RP Breakup (probably): 240 RP (1x) + 200 RP + 240 RP + 1200 RP (5x for Feb)
I purchased 3 times from iShop using TB. Rs.12000 (Feb) , Rs. 10000(Mar) & Rs. 12000 (Mar). Statement showing 1880 RP. I believe the calc is 240 RP (1x), 200 RP & 240 RP + 1200 RP (5x). Baaki probably next month.
Planning to apply for my Dad, he has my add on CC and also has HDFC account. is it okay to apply from his account using the Add on card? Also, will it be delivered to home if applying non personalized?
I have both the cards that you mentioned. Atlas is not good for vouchers and we can't use it on sites that Axis does not like. PT generally good only until 4L and I instead use Gold for voucher purchases.
Other 3 cards are not generally issued to one and all.
I did not take TB initially as it...
This is my plan of using TB: Here I have discounted the RP by 5% considering that I can get ~5% disc using SBI CB or Amex cards.

Can you equate it against the charges one would incur by using CC. I have Regalia Gold with GVP on, so roughly 1.36-1.5 % based on bank rates. Is it better to use CC then?
