How I got ~50 percent value back 🙀🙀for my reserve spends of 87K INR. In other words, I booked a business class flight ✈️ worth 42K INR by using only 6250 miles and 1184 INR. What's more - it was done only at a day's notice. TL;DR- Skill+luck+timing+practice= 🤩✈️

@nitishpkulkarni @arrington @sriramk This is so true. Complexity gets multiplied when you add inbound collection of milk from cooperatives similar to the Amul model. Raw milk has a shelf life of 4 hrs (lower in summers) and thin margins. One day of spoilt milk is enough to wipe off your profits for the month.
