Having spent 15 days at Westin - Himalayas, I can say that it’s perhaps one of the best properties in the world.
While my experience across the world might be limited, a lifetime platinum guest who travelled to over 60+ countries saying the same can’t be wrong.

So I missed a 100 INR Credit Card bill for 9 days and that has given a nice hit to the CIBIL score! 🤦♂️
I wish credit bureau’s add a common sense to their algorithm to not ruin the score for <500 INR delayed payments or something of that sort.

An Indian family with a kid boarding a bus in UK few mins back.
Driver: hello, how many tickets?
Mom: 2 adults return
Driver: what about the kid?
Mom: she’s 2yrs old
Kid: no mom, I’m 6 yrs old.
Driver: seems kid is right.
Mom: okay, I’ll pay for her.

Surprised to experience that Nexon’s suspension is as good as Innova’s.
And looks like Taj hotels started experimenting with Nexon EV’s for their guests.
It was quite a comfortable ride.
AXIS is the new found lover of almost every super premium credit cardholder from 1st Feb 2022.

Encalm lounge at Hyderabad airport (domestic) is almost at 100% occupancy even at 5am.
But if you’re availing the meet and greet services, you not only skip the busy entry line but also get access to this small yet cozy VIP room located inside the lounge.

Experts use HDFC Infinia, Amex Plat Charge, etc
Legends use Marriott Bonvoy, Chase Sapphire Reserve and other US issued cards in India.
Just came across a Legend. 😀
He: Sir, we’ve a special welcome amenity for you.
Me: Thanks, place it on the table. (Didn’t have a closer look)

IDFC First Bank reduces savings account interest rate from 7% to 6% (from 1st Feb)
Reason: "Bank is getting deposits beyond our requirements"
Hope they don't cut the 10X rewards on credits cards to 5X saying "Spends are high and beyond our expectations"
From my recent experience at Hyderabad, over 80% of cab bookings done on OLA/Uber with digital payment modes gets cancelled. Is it the same everywhere else?
If so why can’t the service providers pay drivers instantly via IMPS/UPI to permanently fix the issue? 🤔
Travel is one of the expensive form of addiction.
Using rewards instead of money to get over this addiction is a blessing.
We’re all well blessed. ✨

Any idea if there are any other noteworthy offline merchants that accepts amazon pay?

The beautiful view of the Great Pyramids of Giza today morning, from Marriott Mena House.
It’s such a wonderful resort, with an amazing value on Marriott Bonvoy Points, especially for the elites.
I had an interesting conversation with a Centurion cardholder recently.
What caught my attention wasn't the Centurion card itself, but rather his house rent.
- House rent: 7.5L p.m.
- Location: Somewhere in Mumbai
Never knew Mumbai has such ultra expensive rental properties!
OMG!
RBI has imposed restrictions on American Express India from on-boarding new customers from 1st May 2021.

Called up HDFC Infinia Support just to check annual spend on card and the executive quickly shared:
Spends,
Required spends for waiver,
Renewal date,
and even requested to meet the spend 4 days prior to renewal.
Wow, that was beyond Amex!

IndusInd Bank is probably the only Credit Card issuer in the country to send such beautiful insights on annual FY Credit Card spends.
I wish all Credit Card's have this feature.
P.S. Axis & SBICard too has it via online tool but not as annual stmt like IndusInd does.
Ahmedabad airport lounge (T1) is at 100% occupancy and they’re still checking-in others!!
Well, forget about the lounge, even the airport is kind of operating close to 100% occupancy at 7 AM, so much so that meet & greet executive had to search a bit for a vacant seat!

The new design on American Express India Platinum Travel Credit Card looks beautiful.
It might take few weeks for the new design to reflect for everyone, just like how they handled the plat/gold charge card design refresh few months ago.
