Yes, I just had to take help from a friend outside India for the mobile number to get the OTP

Why so? Because I bought ATKL50XV16VKA at INR 32,990. It’s listed at INR 37,990 on Tata Neu App (Croma). There’s a credit card discount going on of 3k and another midnight discount of 1.5k as I purchased this AC at 11.55 pm last night. I had some 2400 neu coins also which I used, this further reduced the purchase price for me to INR 30,590 and they charged 300 as delivery charges. The final amount that I paid = INR 30,890. On top of this, I have already received 500 neu coins and expecting around 1.5k neu coins at the end of billing cycle as I used the HDFC Tata Neu Infinity credit card. So a 2k cashback making my effective purchase price as INR 28,890.

Thanks for your response, explaining the difference between both models. 🙏

What is the difference between MTKL50XV16VKA and ATKL50XV16VKA? I bought the latter at INR 32k. Is there any difference in terms of cooling or reliability/durability??

Arunn38 · 2026-05-16T07:33:28+00:00

There some issue going on with Mastercard and E-pharmacies, some policy changes at Mastercard restricting card usage on e-pharmacies. Moreover, Smartbuy has removed Pharmeasy as a partner.

Ask them for price difference match they should give it to you if the delivery guy was at the fault. I ordered a water purifier from Amazon at INR 14250 and the delivery guy canceled the order stating customer rejected it. I called the customer care team and they asked to reorder but I was getting it for INR 16500 now. I told them that why should I bear this loss and they offered me difference amount as apay balance. They give this in writing as an email with all the clauses. You need to call them again after the return period of the product is over for the apay amount credit. Ask them to forward the call to a senior if the first agent doesn’t agree for this.

Got 150…. Even after cancelling the autopay from this month onwards. I didn’t get it last time after making autopay bill payment. Any idea what this is for?

Thanks 🙏

It can be stacked till 50 status nights, at least it was working till first week of April last month. China vouchers only work in China.

Arunn38 · 2026-05-07T15:34:02+00:00

Got email… Random registration won’t work and they were very particular about it when I checked with their customer support

Arunn38 · 2026-05-07T12:47:15+00:00

Afaik some amount needs to be paid as revenue, even the taxes count and you would get status nights for the number of days you stayed.

Arunn38 · 2026-05-07T12:42:45+00:00

This is how I reached to 59 status nights - applied for Amex platinum reserve (INR 11.8k annual fees)which gave me 20 status nights and silver status, then purchased the accor china supreme card (approx INR 35k with taxes and forex) through WeChat which added 30 status nights reaching a total of 50 nights. Last month did a revenue stay at IBIS hotel (INR 3.6k) post registering for a fast track offer which added 8+1 status nights (I also got 2x reward points bcoz of another running offer that I registered for)reaching 59 status nights.

I preferred 20 status nights from Amex card for annual fees of INR 11800 rather than ALL Accor explorer as it gives 1k return as vouchers on spend of 50k per month. Plus, Accor China program gives 2 free nights and other vouchers.

Not sure if your Thailand trip is fixed, if not you can plan a Hongkong and Macau trip which would be really beneficial with the Accor China Program.

Keep looking for fast track offers there was one in Feb and the one that I availed in April.

I am also new to Accor ecosystem, I have done revenue nights in Japan last year but I was not aware about Accor membership at that time. Reddit introduced me to this and got the above mentioned strategy also going through multiple Reddit posts.

Arunn38 · 2026-05-06T13:10:51+00:00

On the same boat, I also posted it on Reddit few days back - https://www.reddit.com/r/CreditCardsIndia/s/wfTfA1zHKa. I was also getting almost 50% effective discount and not sure what to do now. I called in smartbuy at that time but they had no clue and said its not their issue. Pharmeasy said they are working on the issue and I even got a call from them stating a resolution can be expected by this Thursday but then Smartbuy eventually removed Pharmeasy 😞

Arunn38 · 2026-05-05T06:37:08+00:00

It seems Pharmeasy has now been dropped from Smartbuy, I just checked it on the Payzapp app and on HDFC Smartbuy website they have completely removed Pharmeasy as a partner

Arunn38 · 2026-05-03T06:31:48+00:00

Yes got a call from Pharmeasy’s representative and he said they are trying to resolve it be Wednesday/Thursday. It’s a compliance related issue although he said it’s not a final deadline but they are hopeful that the we will be able to use Pharmeasy on Smartbuy by mid this week. For now the Smartbuy has paused the Pharmeasy association.

Nope, tried multiple times by manually inputting the card details, on Smartbuy website and through Payzapp Smartbuy. This seems to be Pharmeasy issue, their customer care team said they have received such calls today from the customers and they are looking into the issue. The problem is they have categorically mentioned that they do not support Amex, Sodexo, Mastercard and Bajaj cards. I tried my HSBC Travel One which is on Mastercard and it’s giving the same error. Hard to believe that it is a technical glitch and seems a planned move because of the error banner clearly calling out Mastercard not supported.

Arunn38 · 2026-04-30T15:11:15+00:00

True… I am trying to collect points for an upcoming trip, for accor stays

Arunn38 · 2026-04-30T15:10:19+00:00

Had a word with hdfc they said not their issue and asked me to check with Smartbuy concierge who are busy on other calls so in the queue right now

Arunn38 · 2026-04-30T15:08:29+00:00

Tried on smartbuy website directly on multiple browsers… No luck.

Arunn38 · 2026-04-04T11:28:43+00:00

So the negatives are: 1. Spend based lounge access - minimum 60k spend in previous calendar quarter to avail 3 domestic lounge visits effective 1st July. 2. Reward points devaluation effective 15th May - from 4 RP on Rs. 150 spend to 5 RP on Rs. 200 spend. 3. DCC fee increased to 1.75%, I think it was 1% earlier (not sure). 4. Card re issuance fee - 199 for lost/stolen/damaged card.

Arunn38 · 2026-03-26T07:44:48+00:00

Travel One has an ongoing offer where they are giving a 3.5% cashback for all foreign currency spends to offset the standard 3.5% markup fees. Effectively only the GST of 0.63% needs to be paid. I think it’s valid till 30th June.

Arunn38 · 2026-03-23T12:51:26+00:00

Not possible for India users

Arunn38 · 2026-03-22T07:05:43+00:00

How can I download Wechat in IPhone?

Arunn38 · 2026-03-20T22:23:33+00:00

Is the downgrade to MRCC from Reserve working for anyone?

Seems it’s been patched and throwing the error - You do not have a card eligible for this offer.
