How did I save from my spending??? 🧵

I used some FinTech apps and credit cards and saved good amounts from my spending

A small thread on the Top Apps I liked & Savings.

Feel free to RT 🙏🙏

NOTE - I use my credit cards as debit cards & pay instantly

#Finance #Shopping
1 - CRED

Cred has been my companion for all the credit card payments for the past 4 years

Got around 1% cashback just by paying credit card bills

2 - Amazon + ICICI Card

I have been using this with Amazon Prime account for all my purchases.

With 5% cashback + special offers on Amazon (FLAT 50 on 500 using UPI, etc.) the savings over last 2 years were amazing 👏

#Amazon
3 - Slice Card

Only 1 month since I started, the experience has been so far very rewarding.

4 - Paytm

Used Paytm for 80% of my UPI transactions and bill payments

Although not great, it has been decent till date
5 - Key credit cards without annual fee

American Express Gold Charge & Credit Card - Basic cards with high rewarding value (Amex stopped issuing new cards in India now)

Citi Indian Oil card - Best for fuel spends in Tier 1 cities

#creditcard
6 - TimesPrime for Subscriptions (OTT and more)

One stop solution for most of my subscription needs

Zee5, SonyLiv, Pharmeasy, ETPrime, Audible, Mubi, Discovery+ etc.

Get 300 off using below link-

7 - Zomato Pro Plus

Zomato Pro Plus and Slice Card mentioned above is a very powerful combination for savings 🔊🔊

Pro Plus saves on special discounts + Free delivery

30-60% off with slice card is super helpful

Slice link - links.sliceit.com/invite?rc=GROO…

Swiggy one is okay okay.
Finally, last 2 things

I don't spend just because there is an offer. When I spend, I find the best possible offer

I don't sign up for all cards; I do my research and get the cards/subscriptions of my use only

Spending extra for cashback doesn't make sense to me.
8. PharmEasy plus for medicines

I got this subscription from Timesprime mentioned above, 18% flat discount + 5% cashback on all medicine orders

New users-

Use code- 1xkib, and get EXTRA 5% OFF on your first order peasy.in/SmpsuT

How to save 3-25% on FUEL transactions?

Step 1 :

Create an account with one of the Fuel Providers.
I fill my petrol only in Indian Oil, so created IOCL account and always give my mobile number for the billing.

So every time petrol is filled XTRAREWARDS get accrued

#ccgeek Image
Step 2 - with Credit Card

Take a Fuel based credit card which will offer you rewards and surcharge waiver for every fuel transaction

I use Indian Oil - Citi Card which provides 4 Turbo points / Rs. 150 spent

Each Turbo Point = 1 rupee
Image

Step 3 - Without Credit Card

Using Park+ App...

This is a new app which is providing insane offers on Indian Oil Vouchers.

On spinning the wheel, we generally get ~50 off on ~1000 which is 5% off

By playing quizzes, fasttag recharges etc, one can accumulate Park+ petrol Image

Attended my kids school orientation session today, he will be joining NURSERY soon…

In the session, teachers shared some trends they are observing & suggested some key pointers for parents to keep a watch on …

Although all are basics, this made me INTROSPECT a lot

1/n
Children have slowed on taking instructions these days …

Reason - they watch TV/Gadgets and most of the learning is happening through eyes & not ears

Earlier kids in school used to listen in 1st instance, now it takes 5 times

LEARNING THROUGH EARS IS REDUCING

2/n
Most of us stay in apartments & hence use lifts …

Usage of lifts is impacting child’s physical development & many kids in KG are not even able climb a few steps. Kids in class 8-10 are showing arthritis symptoms

Ask - Make children climb atleast 10 steps a day

#GOLD investment in #India ?

Most of us are hearing a lot about #SGB - Sovereign Gold Bonds these days. In this thread, I will try to explain my understanding

Sovereign gold bonds(SGB) were introduced by the Government of India in 2015 under the Gold Monetization Scheme.

1/n Image
SGBs are substitutes for Physical gold, the bonds are issued by RBI (Reserve Bank of India) on behalf of Govt of India.

Imagine buying gold but in non-physical form, the price of the bond increases and decreases with the price of Gold in the international market

2/n
Why SGB?

For investors who would like to keep GOLD as an investment class in their portfolio, #SGB offers a lucrative option with a few advantages

Advantages

1) No risk of buying impure gold - You buy the bond, its held in the books of the RBI or in Demat form

I have screened over 500 resumes and conducted more than 250 interviews ranging from entry-level to senior executives, and here are some basic/generic observations

- CV (curriculum vitae)
- Interview Readiness
- Interview Questions
- Interview Etiquette

#JobInterview
CV (curriculum vitae)

Keep it concise: A CV should be a maximum of two pages long. Use bullet points and clear headings to make it easy to read.

0-8 Years -> One page
8+ years (Senior role) -> Two pages (the first page highlighting the latest experience)
CV (curriculum vitae)

Use a professional font and layout: Choose a font that is easy to read and use a consistent layout throughout the document.

Sectional Layout is preferable
- Achievements (2-3 bullet points with good quantification of impact)
- Work Experience
- Academics

ISB at #Hyderabad will forever remain as a great case study of how a leader with a vision and agility made the impossible possible

#ISB established with a motto of strengthening entrepreneurship and fostering innovation will truly stay as one of the biggest achievements of CBN
Keeping politics aside, the reason this is very close to my heart is because of the impact it created on many other visionaries who then setup such institutes across India to help nurture India’s young leaders with world class faculty & opportunities

#ISB
Late Prof Bala, fondly known as uncle Bala was my guru during my MBA at Great Lakes. He was one of legends in transforming Indian education system & creating 1000s of young leaders globally

He was a true visionary and always had high regards for CBN for what he has done for ISB
