I finished collecting all the 30 cities.
Spent around ₹757 for doing recharges of phones and D2H, which would’ve given me some cashback, at the very least 10%.
So I would say I lost out cashback of ₹75-₹76.
So, my strategy was to do the recharges till I spend ₹1000 so that I can console myself that I would be eligible for atleast ₹101 which the game promised (10% of ₹1000 spent is ₹100, so notional loss nullified).
I got cashback of ₹377 instantly.
So overall happy with it.
I also reduced my unnecessary spending by doing credit card bill payments (an expense which I anyways had to cover) in small tranches on Cred and Amazon and these became 2 different merchant transactions. I also loaded money in my Zerodha.
So, in all, I only tried to go out of my way for the recharges and am glad that this strategy helped me out.
Finally, few gems of people who helped me were @jaybro and @manishalone
Best wishes to all of you. Will keep on sharing any interesting ticket I collect again.
