I suggest to upgrade to platinum charge. With thair cashback offers, you will get back more than what you paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a real high end lifestyle card tbh. 60k a year is too much unless the cb is exceptionally good. 11 minutes ago, KunjanPSD said: Was this worth it when traveling was possible? AMEX lounges are much much better than the usual airport lounges. I used to travel 10 days a month, and hence good lounge access was something I really looked forward to. You also get Taj inner circle membership (along with a bunch of other memberships), and if you're staying in those properties, decent returns/discounts. Plus they run decent CB offers on higher tier cards (case in point the current offer of flat 20% CB on certain sites). I see this quite often, almost once a quarter.

HDFC Regalia has better perks in terms of lounge visits. Also, fairly decent rewards to air voucher redemption. Go Amex if you value customer service and want to use it exclusively for online purchses. PoS support is still lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've the legacy JPMiles card. Too lazy to close and change. It's a decent card, but I've to close it at some point. 1 hour ago, KunjanPSD said: My LTF HDFC Diners Black application has been pending because of the stay on new HDFC CCs, so was wondering which is better. I intend to travel frequently but don't know when that's going to be the case. Only if my employer had such an CC offering I'll look like an egomaniac saying this, but most cards offer access to Premium Plaza or similar lounges, and they are not worth going to IMO, even if you can get in for free. Those places tend to be filled to the brim with everyone holding a lounge card (which is easily available on most cards nowadays). Vistara/AMEX/GVK lounges in Delhi/Mumbai are decent options. Bangalore - the lesser said the better. Only 1 working lounge (last visit was in Feb 2020, no idea what's the update now), and you'll be lucky to find a place during rush hour. Lounges on the international side tend to be better, specially with a business class ticket.

I am holding it for last 3 years and every year I got double of what I paid, back from card. Its exceptionally good card with lot many other perks. DM me if you have any questions. We are swaying from main topic and should continue this discussion if required in credit card thread. Tag me there if anyone have any questions.

North Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Really on the fence about buying a Kindle Oasis. Its at MRP of 22K currently on Amazon. If anybody knows a better deal or price, please tag me! Bit of hefty price tag for an eReader but I feel like splurging a bit..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 It is on Axis website, and it does say 90-12 days. I guess I'll just have to do it and hope it works as promised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Bird Bird Posted July 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Heads up peeps. NEVER EVER order anything from Bookswagon. Extremely bad customer service. They marked my book as shipped, DID NOT ship it for close a week, kept on blaming courier company, which basically closed the order since they said client did not give the order for pick-up. Money is stuck. Bookswagon is not responding now, still blaming Delhivery. Just f**king sh*t all around. Raised a customer grievance with INGRAM portal, but this doesn't look like the kind of people to give a f**k. What are my options ? I think I made the mistake of paying via UPI, so no CC protection. Edit: Payment was done via Axis CC. How good is their grievance resolution/chargeback process ?

I order books on basically a weekly basis and I do it all through Amazon. Customer service is top notch. I'm finicky about books, and I got one with the corner mushed. Amazon sent a replacement next day, no complaints. Thanks for informing, will avoid this site. Also avoid ChapterOne online bookstore. They're also horrible, TOOK 10 months to deliver 2 books. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
