    Does AMEX Trifecta make sense if I hold HDFC Diners Black (LTF) & ICICI Emerald Private Metal

    I recently acquired ICICI Emerald Private Metal, and I already had Diners Black PVC (LTF). After the introduction of ISHOP and along with SMARTBUY, I was wondering does it even make sense to continue with AMEX Trifecta (Gold, MRCC, Platinum Travel) anymore. These 3 cards take so much of time...

    Amex Plat Travel - No Retention Benefits Offered - July 2025

    My Platinum travel card was due for renewal in June 2025. After talking to the customer care, they waved off 50% of the fee. I hold 3 Amex cards since two years (MRCC, Gold, Plat Travel).

    If You Could Design the Ultimate Co-Branded Credit Card...

    Interesting thread. My idea of co-branded card would be for Gig Economy workes...India has around 1 Million gig workers and they are always in need of money. Basically the salary they get after the month-end, can be made available to them during the month so they can take care of daily...

    Suggestions for Mutual Fund Portfolio

    If you've never invested in MF and will be doing for the first time, here is my suggestion 1. Start with only Index fund for first 6 months or 1 year. SBI Nifty Index is fine. 2. Invest the lumpsum in a Debt Fund. For 6 months or so. and then do a STP to any index or large cap fund 3. Explore...

    Axis Airtel Cashback issue

    You should get 1% cashback. I did use my Axis airtel card in Oct 2024 for some discount offers on Flipkart. For ~45000/- I received ~450 Cashback. Basically, 1% cashback is irrespective of ongoing discount offers.

    Axis Airtel Cashback issue

    Same happened with me as well. Axis Airtel's merchant category mapping for cashback is really pathetic. If the merchant's name changes it just doesn't give proper cashback and later, they correct only if we reach out to them. For me it happened in this cycle, mailed to them via their website...

    Advance Tax Payments

    MRCC doesn't give any rewards on Government Transactions, I think it categorizes it under Utilities thats why.
