What's the buzz about the IDFC Maurya Card ? Suddenly my feed is filled with folks applying for it .. I didn't find anything unique or different or am I missing something? #ccgeek

I couldn't be happier! ✨✈️ Finally set foot in the new terminal at Pune Airport after what felt like an eternity ⌛😅 This upgrade was long overdue and a true relief for travelers. The spacious check-in areas and smoothly managed security process were a breath of fresh air,

✅Choosing the Right Embassy: Opted for an embassy with favorable visa policies for longer term . Germany, Italy, Netherlands, France, and Spain are known for decent long-term multiple-entry visa approval rates.

Christmas in London coming to Life 🇬🇧 Although I'm well travelled, this one was special as it was my first 10+ hours flight ! Generally prefer layovers but this time chose a direct flight from MUM to LHR and it was super smooth via @VirginAtlantic 🤌 Drop in your London reccos 💛

Mumbai's Loyalty Lounge might probably be the most shabby and poorly managed Lounges of all the major cities in India. Could never really understand why a city like Mumbai cant have one good decent lounge for non business passengers? If Blr/Del can, why can't Mumbai 🤔

What's the most charming city you've been to ? For me It's Florence in Italy🇮🇹 I was in awe as soon as I saw the Duomo. So beautiful 🤌 The buildings and monuments in Florence are so well preserved that the entire city feels like an open air museum ✨

2️⃣ Axis Atlas 🚀 💲 Fee - 5000 + GST with no welcome benefits but has rewards once you make spends and achieve milestones. After the Magnus Fiasco last year, I shifted to Atlas but only regret is that they don't have the Airport meet and Greet and Airport transfers anymore.

🔸Yakisoba🔸 This stir-fried noodle dish is primarily made with meat, but ask the restaurant to make it with Veggies , with No MEAT/ NO Egg as per your preference! Be careful of Sauces as some have fish too. Ask them to use simple soy sauce and spices! 📍Nishiki Market, Kyoto

🔸Udon🔸 Thick Japanese noodle that can be stir-fried with a variety of vegetables and tofu. This is a delicious dish that is perfect for a cold day. Most Japanese outlets serve udon but check particularly for Vegan options as the broth often has meat/fish. 📍 Injoy, Tokyo

I've been using Credit Cards since 2012, and had always been sitting on a pile of rewards. My redemptions were quite basic and I honestly didn't know what to do with it until one random day I found a very useful thread on twitter and rest is history 😀 I'm always so thankful to

✅Strong Financials and ITR 📝💴 My personal perspective is that this is key. Your bank statements as well as ITR . I also submit an FD statement . Having a 10k balance per day of travel is what I am for when submitting docs. Rest is for the salary slips and ITR to cover

I had tweeted this a few months back that it's really difficult to put trust in the new age CCs. @getscapia reducing limits and cancelling cards at its own whim is so absurd ! When travelling internationally you need a reliable and trustworthy CC and best to always have backups!

#ccgeek community, Thoughts on this Credit Card ? After Slice , I personally don't trust any random card but since this one rewards for Travel + zero Forex mark up - need to see what's in store .

@sanjeev_kumar95 Direct Flights + Visa Free + Very affordable. It's cheaper to sometimes opt for these destinations than go in India somewhere.

🔸Indian Restaurants 🍛🔸 For people who need Indian Food on their trips - Japan has many options. While Tokyo has many, Osaka and Kyoto had fewer options. They serve decent Indian food but their Naan's are excellent and extremely fluffy ! 📍Downtown B's Indian, Tokyo

Another BIG devaluation from Axis? 2-5x multiplier rewards gone and Gyftr coins are in. Pathetic reward rate of 0.5% - 5% as against up to 30% on Reserve that was still possible until now. RIP Axis cards - who all are cancelling whatever remains now?
