Offline transactions after 25k spend will be counted in 10x rp? Using select card for last 4 months my spends are 1L per month.

All genuine spends? Asking because high chances of card blocking if txns are mainly rent payments/wallets/bill payments etc.

Keep in mind that spending more than 10 lakh on credit card bill payments/txns in a year means ITR must be filed & supporting that expenditure.

CC statement not required in any case as long as your total spend on cc is justified by the income shown in your itr.

Is is applicable immediately from 17th or next billing cycle?
For example, if billing cycle is from 25th to 24th, so the changes will be applicable from 25th May onwards right?
Can anybody confirm

Averaging in well established companies is alright but even there don't forget the cost of averaging vs eventual returns.

Regarding average I am not a fan of doing average. But if I want to do an average I would prefer to do an average in upward journey. Because average your winner's not losers.

missed the rally cry sweat

Real rally will be for those able to figure out how to exploit loophole to get 5% till 10000 cb every month on sbi cashback card. Some here already figured out till 1.5-2k cb per month but I am guessing real legends won't post such info here unless trick becomes very hard to hide.  smile

Not true for everyone. Just alone my AWL is fetching me much more profit than what you are talking about. Though I don't consider it as a profit yet as it is unrealised.

Really not like the Reward Redemption Fee..After all we earn the reward by spending..Now charging Redemption Fee on top of that ,is really baseless..
