I have recently got my Legend card upgraded to Pinnacle based on Grande account, to Avoid The 5k Fees on card I need to spend 50k in 3 Months on the card, what avenues should I use to do these spends with 0 or minimal charges.

Any GV buy and sell or Any other places please suggest.

Your suggestions are heartely appreciated.
 
For those unfamiliar with these cards, please guide us how they are better than Pinnacle? Is the reward rate higher or other lifestyle benefits? What benefits of these 3?

honestly, we never use indus cards when compared to todays cashback or miles cards. These cards last updated way long before, even before covid era.

regarding offers, they can only offer emi benefits and some discounts on food apps but these benefits similar to other cards.

so, if your requirement is like 3 to 4 orders or that emi, another bank card always helps, so you never missed this bank.

10% on online shopping very rare. So, even pinnacle not useful any where near to apay 1%.

pinnacle reward rate:

online: 1.8%
offline: 0.75%
travel: 1.12%
special: 0.5%

this is for cashback, we know people complaining about 70% restriction in hdfc and now YES but even before that in Indus its upto 50% only (yes, its upto and for amzn like vouchers redemption only 10%), no one ever complained because no one cared these cards. Btw, there 118rs. redemption fee on top of it, yes even for that 10%.

Indus never about reward rate, legend and pinnacle are meant only for accounts but that also need patience with their terrible support.

- mentioned cards not easy to get ltf. //like an achievement, so trying that. Pinnacle easy to get but these cards have to spend or use our skills.
- Provide better or higher lounge support than Pinnacle.
- Some better dining and movie offers compared to Pinnacle.
- Considered as super premium cards in that bank //not actually but this bank behaves and sees like that, so an upgrade to premium Pinnacle.

Oh so they just have some lifestyle benefits over Pinnacle but nothing in terms of base reward rate.

BMS BOGO and EazyDiner benefits mainly it seems. There are so many cards for lounge access. And the EazyDiner card from the same bank is way superior. I don't see why people get these then - need to learn more about Crest, Celesta and Indulge. Maybe some other lifestyle benefits they have which make them better than Pinnacle
 
3rs spends in 3 years, not at all good card to spend..

anyway, it gives 1% offline, 2.5% online (non-travel), 1.5% (travel), 0.7% (sensitive categories where other banks gives 0%)

if u dont have usage then its not for u..
Oh which IndusInd card is this? I am confused, isn't this the Pinnacle thread? It doesn't have these rewards rates but the ones helloworld himself mentioned in an above post which are, after its devaluation

Yes i wamted to know how to spend 50k in 3 months to make it LTF

Coz i already have SBI CB HDFC Swiggy HSBC Live plus etc

so wallet load NPS etc
Take 4 Zomato a/c in your family. Link them with Amazon Pay all should have different number. Then through Zomato only, add Rs.4k as max free limit per month per account. This money can be transferred back to your own account without any charges. Total you will spend 16k in one month. You have 90 days time for Pinnacle. So do this all 3 months. 48k spends you will achieve easily. Rest 2k can be achieved by adding to Mobikwik Wallet. Not a single rupee will be deducted. Enjoy Ltf Pinnacle

4 accounts = 4 Sims = 800rs (if they already dont have them) = 5% fee for 16k (wallet load 2.4% only)

I suggested this trick only if that person have atleast 3 members with Sims with him. Bcoz there is 0% fee till Rs.4k with this method if we add through Zomato in Amazon wallet upi.
Otherwise if living alone then last option is Snapay for min fee Card to bank tfr.
