    Hey Guys,
    Amazing content.
    On Rupay, I had Tata Neu Inifinity.
    The issue is that Rupay allows UPI to only merchants, but most of the small ticket transfers / payments to shops are done on personal UPI of the shopkeeper. so Rupay wont be accepted, it will be deducted from your bank account only, not CC

    • @anmolarora11
      @anmolarora11 3 місяці тому

      Yes, you are right. Though this is a good way to earn points on any small amounts of UPI spends you do to merchants (if they don't have a POS terminal & have a merchant account), and also for websites which charge extra for CC v/s UPI :)

    • @pranayk37
      @pranayk37  3 місяці тому

      I agree, Axis cards seem to be pretty useless as things stand. My recommendation would be to try and get Infinia or Diners black from HDFC. If not, you can try SC Ultimate. You can also get the Amex Plat travel card for spends upto 4L per year.
      If your spends are specific to a particular category like Amazon, Swiggy, Myntra - it makes sense to get their co-branded credit cards.

    • @user-wb3is5oc9v

      Hi, you can check sbi vistara prime or idfc vistara. Both will give vistara tickets on hitting spend milestones. Idfc charges 249/- for rent payments and SBI prime doesn't give CV points for rent (but rent is counted towards milestone spends).

      By education, do you mean school fee? If yes, it works if your school portal accepts it. The school fee counts towards milestone spends. Great choice of cards too. In fact if you spend 20K monthly on MRCC, the value you'll get will be even more. Video coming up soon!

      depends on the hotel you are booking. If it’s a new property that Marriott wants to promote - you can easily get 1:1 value. But if it’s a well established hotel during peak season, you can get somewhere around 30 paise per Marriott point.

    • @pranayk37
      @pranayk37  3 місяці тому +1

      It depends on what your spends are. Hdfc gives good value for spends on Marriott hotels. But beyond that, amex travel seems to be better value for spends upto 4 lacs.
      Having said that, the joining benefit of hdfc Marriott is tempting (almost 2.5x of the fee you pay). Maybe if you are planning to stay at a Marriott hotel anyway, get the card just to get that 1 night at a cheaper rate. But beyond that, amex travel seems to be providing better value. Good luck with your decision!

    Also the information regarding Plat charge is also incorrect. It was giving 135k MR and only 10K voucher on b’day month.

    • @pranayk37

      Hi Gautam, thanks for your comment. Let me try and clarify for you.
      On SBI cards - they’re still counting rent towards milestone benefits. We called and checked with them. Will confirm back once that is credited.
      On Amex plat - they offer one of the two joining benefits (depending on your profile, any ongoing promotions etc). When I got the Amex plat card in Oct 2022, the joining benefit was 45k taj vouchers, and no MR points. At the time we recorded this video, they were offering 135K MR points to some users (and not the taj vouchers).
      And as early as last week - they’re now giving a 125K MR points offer to some customers (or 45K taj vouchers). In fact I’ve availed that offer and gotten a plat charge card to avail this 125K MR points offer.
      Hence, I don’t think the information is incorrect, it’s only a matter of what joining benefits do they offer at different points in time.

      Closing a credit card will negatively impact your credit score. You will see a decrease in your score as bureaus don’t have access to your credit information or behavior anymore.
      Closing a credit card will remove the associated credit history and lowers the average length of your credit history.

      Hi, this is subjective depending on your annual spends. For travel, you can consider the vistara cards with sbi or axis. Same as what Anmol uses in the video.
      Rent is tricky given most cards have stopped giving points on rent payments. You can check standard chartered ultimate but it charges an additional 1% charge for rent payment so the benefit is minimal.

      IDFC Vistara: Min Rs. 249 fees (1%+GST) for rent payments and 1%+GST on utility payments above 20k/month.
      However, both allow rent payments to be counted for milestone spends, and the real value comes from the Vistara vouchers you get for hitting the milestones.
