[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

I have just mailed to a *.gov.in website regarding a critical SQL Injection vulnerability on there website, @NICMeity and @GoI_MeitY, please don't ignore me and fix it please.For Public - I didn't mentioned the domain because its a critical vulnerability, and it could be misused!

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@ccg33k @dineshstriker8 @HSBC_IN @imYadav31 @PranaySuhasMund Totally agree. I've faced the same problem. Looks good on paper, but I haven't actually gotten to try it because they can always say they're not available 🙄

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@ValueWithPrem @ccg33k @SartanparaYash I think #ccgeeks have to do better to bring this up more..afterall Kalyan is our preferred brand isn't? 🤪😝

🚨 The Air India INR hack

• AI flights originating from India are priced in INR
• AI flights originating from abroad are priced in the currency of origin

✅ But what if Air India flights originating from abroad could also be paid for in INR?

💰 Especially beneficial for…

• Amex Plat Charge/Cent holders
• Atlas/other cardholders due to no FX charges

⏬️ Here’s how this works ⏬️

(1/3)… 🧵

Dude, you're lucky! I had Swiggy One membership for ages (thanks to all those credit card offers), stacked up, and it always showed a date like 2+ years away. But then it'd expire in a few months, and even after a bunch of emails, I never got it for the full period. Check out the screenshot, it says 44 days since I always have to pay for 3 months every time, and as soon as I subscribe, it shows my original period again. But once those 3 months are up, it'll say Swiggy One expired again 😭😑

I bet they got some interns to code the validity logic.

Klook's my jam for international trips. Sweet that we can save more now.

#TravelHackAlert Experiences on Multipliers or Apay ?

Yes ! Finally... Just in time for holiday season bookings !!

Klook Vouchers are now listed on HDFC Gyftr / Amex Gyftr at discount and also get multipliers points.

https://t.co/iWktuDQFXM (1.5% + 16.5% => 18% with Infinia)

https://t.co/x04TuTf9dE (4% discount + multipliers + milestones => Upto 26% MR , 4% Cash Discount)

https://t.co/eJqNq0WYjZ => Use this with Apay sourced at multipliers + 6.5% discount !!!

PS : This works as a single use coupon & only one coupon can be used & some activities are excluded, so make sure you check TnC before buying.

@FinPaal @onpointindia @ccg33k @SartanparaYash So, the big question is, will it give affiliate cashback for gold orders or not? 😋 I don't see it excluded in the T&Cs like CashKaro and Zingoy, but it's probably excluded here too.

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@ankurmittal Most of the folks never even read their receipts and then after few months they get a charge and then create this disporea that now they are charging.

If banks want to charge a certain fee, they will clearly mention it in terms and conditions.

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@ankurmittal Correct. I have inquired with multiple folks who were claiming they were "charged" and later found they actually had 0+1 where the lounge staff charged them with guest 😂. I have been using PP on Del T3 domestic every month from last 1+ year and never got charged.

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@SartanparaYash @ccg33k @cards_wizard @CardTroller Haha sammeeeee!

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@aadil @dhimantn @ameyakarve Congrats, Aadil & everyone at @greatindianmile! This feels like a personal win to me. The content is awesome and helpful. Don't stop! 🚀

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@ccg33k Totally agree! Couldn't have said it better.

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@gurumilespoints Totally agree with what you said. Keep it up, it's really helpful.

🏩 ITC is back with a lot of revaluations & some devaluations as well! @ITCHotels @ITCHotelsCares

👉 The prices for Elite membership has increased by 8,500/- (40% increase !!) to 29,500.

👉 What looks interesting is that there is a 5 Year Culinaire Membership, which looks like a good way to invest group B points to avoid potential devaluation and getting 2 nights per year plus some great value vouchers.

👉You get a 33% discount (also protection from inflation of prices for next 5 years) when you buy 5 years membership when compared to 1 year membership

Benefits of Culinaire Membership :

1️⃣ Dining Benefits
✅ Flat 20% off on dining at 350+ ITC, Welcomhotels, Fortune, Mementos & Storii [NEW]
✅ Earn up to 12% Green Points on F&B spends (Tier based)
✅ Earn Green Points on room stays too (up to 8%) (Tier Based)
✅ 20% off on spa & laundry during stays [NEW]

2️⃣ Choose Your Plan
🎯 Two plans: Select & Elite

3️⃣ Freebies & Vouchers

🎁 Select Plan:
🔹 1 Free Night Stay
🔹 2 Buffet Meals for 2
🔹 2x 50% off dining for 4
🔹 1 Complimentary Cake
🔹 3 vouchers for 15% off hotel stays

🎁 Elite Plan:
🔹 2 Free Nights (Interestingly all ITC hotels)
🔹 4 Buffet Meals
🔹 2x 50% off dining
🔹 1 Complimentary Cake
🔹 5 vouchers for 20% off hotel stays

4️⃣ Milestone Rewards
Spend more, earn more 🎯
🍴 ₹30K: Room upgrade
🍴 ₹90K: Free buffet for 2
🍴 ₹1.2L: ₹5,000 hotel credit
🍴 ₹2L: Extra free buffet for 2

Important things to note :
🔹Complimentary nights are applicable on all ITC Hotels unlike before where some hotels required 2 vouchers for one night, this unlocks amazing value that can be derived.
🔹50% offer no longer applies on all specialty restaurants - Bukhara and Avartana are excluded, but 20% as a Culinaire members should world.
🔹Earlier you would get 25% GP back on dining expenses (paid in cash) but now its 20% upfront discount + 3%-12% GP back (Love it !)
🔹20% flat discount on Spa while staying is another welcome Benefit !
🔹Milestone benefits are most probably going to be linked to Cash Spends and not GP spends, so we'll have to wait and see.
🔹They've removed Upgrade vouchers from list of available benefits, they used to give amazing value as one voucher could upgrade your stay to next category room for entire stay (usually industry standard is it applies to one night I think)

✅It looks interesting proposition on paper, gives great value for the points if you're able to redeem at those ITC Hero properties like Grand Bharat or Grand Goa... etc

My analysis assumes that we'll buy this memberships from points and not with cash. Personally I don't like to spend cash on these programs when there is option to burn points. Some might not agree who can extract a value of more than ₹1 with these points, but I am happy at ₹1. 🤓

In case I miscalculated any feature, let me know in comments. TnC and Participating Hotels list is yet to be updated, but I am looking forward to this new program ! ❤️

MUST READ TILL THE END 💳

It was Ramesh and Priya’s 10th wedding anniversary.

Priya, slightly disappointed, asked,
“So… no gift this year?”

Ramesh smiled and said,
“Of course there’s a gift. Check your WhatsApp!”

She opened her phone.

A screenshot:
✈️ Round-trip flight to Paris
🏨 5 nights at Ritz Paris
🚖 Chauffeur pickup
🎁 Room decorated with roses and macarons

Priya’s jaw dropped. “You booked all this?!”

Ramesh: “Nope. My credit cards did.”

🟣 Axis Magnus: Flights (Edge Miles)
🟣 Amex Plat: Hotel Upgrade + Late Checkout
🟣 HDFC Infinia: Free Dineout at Michelin-starred place
🟣 ICICI Emeralde: Airport lounge, free spa

Priya (teary-eyed): “You’re incredible!”

Ramesh (smirking): “I’m just a man… with an Airtel Axis for Netflix too.”

💡 Moral: Marry someone with good credit card strategy.

All ccgeeks, show this to your wife 😂

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@imYadav31 @getscapia Yup, got it in April already. Very smooth process, only had to give my selfie if I remember correctly.

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

@ccg33k @thetrickytrade @AskEnvici 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Ded Sec @DedS6c]

Thanks @GoldDealsIndia, I ordered the Kalyan 5g 24kt gold bar using the HDFC 10X offer and my Infinia card for ₹48530 with the coupon, but with the 10X HDFC Myntra reward points offer, it's basically ₹32380 for 5g of 24kt gold. In March, I got the same thing due to HDFC 10X offer for around ₹31k effectively, so I'm basically getting September 2023 prices in 2025! 😂😜
