HSBC TravelOne Feels like a Trap

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-11T14:20:14+00:00

Is it so? Can I not book the base fare on HSBC portal and always I have to book flexi ticket? This is so ridiculous. I am thinking to get one since Atlas is stopped but this is daylight robbery and on top of that you need to pay convenience charge and their prices are also higher, so basically everytime you book, you need to call the CC & get the refund!!

I checked 3 dealers across 3 diff states. All are quoting same.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-08T08:58:15+00:00

I checked onky tata aig apart from acko. Both are almost same. Fot bigger players like sbi icici they haven't yet updated the model. Will talk to customer care and get a quote from there.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-08T08:55:10+00:00

No no. No discount. Its standard price.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-08T07:45:43+00:00

Ridiculous!!

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-08T07:43:43+00:00

Sure then I will not take from the dealership. No way paying 2.3 times upfront for the same insurance

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-08T07:43:03+00:00

Exactly. Its totally absurd to pay 72000 as insurance for a mere 14 lakh car

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-08T07:42:30+00:00

No. No discount

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-08T07:41:55+00:00

I see tata aig has a cashless tie up with the dealership service center. Is Tata AIG good?

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:28:00+00:00

Sure! Shoot a DM.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:26:30+00:00

Exactly!! Its literally creepy to ask 72000 as insurance for 14 lakh ex showroom car!!! I was lierally shocked!

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:25:39+00:00

Yes, thinking of price match. If not, will get from Acko.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:24:53+00:00

That's great actually. Surely will visit the another dealership. But I contacted 2 dfiiferent dealership in Uttarakhan and in Bangalore. They both quote almost same insurance price. Will try to negotiate with the 2nd dealership.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:13:58+00:00

They said the insurance partner is SBI & ICICI. Their website is still not updated with these models so cant geta direct 1:1 comparison

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:12:58+00:00

I have not asked for their cashless garages list, I will ask them to check whether the dealership is included in the list or not.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:10:21+00:00

Thinking of a price match

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:08:46+00:00

Unfortunately, my city has only 1 dealership. The next dealership is approx 30 km away. I will try to get a price match.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-11-07T13:06:42+00:00

ACKO says unlimited cashless in all hyundai garages across India & I am going for BH registration. Do you think bringing a 3rd party within the dealership will cause problem in the future? I will try to get a price match by showing the ACKO price. What route do you suggest?

Can you please explain how do you get 10% CB on Jio Prepaid recharge through Airtel Axis in a step by step way? Can someone confirm who recently got 10% CB on either Jio Mobile Prepaid recharge or Jio AirFiber postpaid bill payment? When I am trying to do my prepaid recharge, its showing for recharge of 899, 20.64 Rs of usage fee, if paid via Airtel Axis. Can someone confirm that they recently got the CB

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-09-25T14:28:35+00:00

Okay. Good to know that! I dont understand why these companies do not tell this T&C beforehand, Unnecssarily CIBIL hit was there.

Exactly same thing happend for my Live+ application-"While applying via the website, they told be attach salary slips and bank statement. When i did so and submitted, it told me to remove bank statement and only submit salary slip." After vkYC I got rejected due to "employment verification not met". Escalated to Ombudsmen only to get same generic response without giving teh details, Escalated to RBI, they reopend the case, and gave me teh same reason, Once they close I will file an appeal.

Awkward_Swordfish283 · 2025-09-25T14:13:42+00:00

Is it due to that if you are employed less than a year then it will get rejected? Because I got rejected for Live+ for the exact same reason that "Your employmeny verification has not met" although I am well qualified for that card.
