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

New users can sign up now below & get Rs.250 instant cashback on the first payment of min Rs.100

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.

Special offers & extra cashback on online shopping and points for insurance spends

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-
timesprime.onelink.me/6hfI/ebab9c1a?…
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

Not sure why - people in India like to scam

On my hunt for a new sofa for our newly renovated home, after exploring 10+ options I landed in a local store who promised to provide the design and fabric we wanted. We chose the fabric after exploring 30+ books & brands
With all customisation, the sofa costed a bomb + 2% extra for paying via. Credit card. Finally we agreed the sofa to be delivered on April 3rd

In between, we also planned to get a dining table, hence the store person told they would deliver both by April 7th considering Eid
We were okay with that as we will still get it before my kids birthday. Finally today morning the store person calls and says, we are not getting the fabric that was discussed, i will send you 2-3 books to home - choose an alternative and we will get the sofa done

DAY 3 - Landed at 3PM in #Malaysia from #Bangkok …

Started with a shocker - Forgot our passports in the airport trolley & had to go back 😢 2 hours wasted.
