I use credit cards for all my expenses for making the best of reward points. I earn around ~Rs.30,000-60,000 a year on reward points

As the Indian middle-class, every rupee reward counts in saving more

Key things to consider:

- FREE CARDS - I prefer only free cards & never paid a single rupee as membership fee for any of my cards

- CREDIT as DEBIT - I use my credit card like debit card, spend and pay immediately

- TRACK OFFERS - Credit cards have specific offers, track them

After a really long time, the #RBI has made significant updates to their Master Direction on issuance and management of credit cards and debit cards 💳

Card issuers must provide a one-pager on important aspects + benefits of the card, along with the interest rate and other charges. In case a credit card application is rejected, the card issuer has to provide specific reasons for the rejection. 2/
Explicit (and not implied) consent to be obtained in case card issuers are offering any insurance cover towards protection against frauds or any other liabilities on the card. Check your statement to verify if unwanted charges/premium for such insurance is levied 3/

Once you´re ready to start playing at a #virtual casino, you will need to transfer funds to your casino account in order to start placing #wagers at the Slots or Card Tables. While you may have the option to use a #creditcard directly on the casin0´s website,
mycapitol.captechu.edu/ICS/Campus_Lif… often this comes with strings attached, because many credit card companies either will not allow you to use their financial services to make a deposit to a virtual casino, or they will enforce a strict limit upon how much you are able to spend.
myclc.clcillinois.edu/web/jeff_test/… A great way to fund a virtual casino account is to use an alternative method of payment which acts as a third party transfer service between your credit card and the online casino.

Negative Interest Rates #NIRP do more harm to #Centralbanks than they do good

Times are changing with hard cash to online digital payments
The world has been forced to adapt to new methods of online payment like #Debitcards , #creditcard and #mobilewallet payments
Few use cash and the global elites are using negative interest rates to do the same thing as inflation make money disappear
The U.S. discontinued the use of large-denomination bills in the late 1960s. Until 1969, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and even $10,000 bills were issued and today
the largest bill is a $100 bill, but it has lost 80% of its purchasing power since 1968

Europe has ended the 500 euro note and today the largest note in euros is 200 euros. Existing 500 euro notes will still be legal tender, but new ones will not be produced.

Facts: Developing countries have more interest charges than developed contries.

In india the interest rate per month ranges from 1.8%-3.2% based on bank or the card you choose/eligible.

The interest rate calculated annually is called APR.

Lets make it clear on when you will pay interest.

When you missed to pay the statement total amount interest rate will be calculated from that day.

If you withdraw money in ATM using #creditcard interest will be calculated from the day amount is withdrawn.

@RBI #moratorium of 3 mths of #EMIs on all oustanding term loans as on Mar 1, 2020. Includes all #Banks & #NBFCs. #EMI payments will restart only once the time period expires. A #creditcard #loan is not classified as a #TermLoan. It is basically revolving #credit. @fifaindiaorg
This #EMIHOLIDAY is not a Waiver. Once things are normal the deferred #EMIs have to be paid. It simply won't have a negative effect on #CIBIL score. This will not happen in an automated manner, bank has to approve on the basis of request. #moratorium @RBI #RBItoday #rbigovernor
While #CreditCards are defined as revolving credit & not term loans, as per clarity from @RBI it is clear that credit card dues are also covered. Though this must be avoided if possible. #Moratorium #EMIHOLIDAY

This brought back some memories. This happened in 2002. We were final year students in dental college then. The rep of a prominent bank came to the hostel selling a credit card. I knew exactly how a credit card works. #creditcard
I feigned ignorance and asked him to explain to me how it works. All he kept on saying was “It has 35,000 on it. It’s a good card! Lots of benefits” No mention of repayment no mention of interest. Nothing. I said no thank you but followed him as he went to each room. #creditcard
He kept repeating the same charade. Finally I asked him “Why is your bank giving away 35,000 rupees to all of us without asking for anything in return?”

Silence.

“How long do I have to return the money each cycle? One month? One year?

Silence
