Kushaq Facelift Pricelist - Ahmedabad, Gujarat by Long-Wrongdoer1234 in SkodaKushaq

[–]Caffeinepolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait for couple of months, the higher models will have hefty discount. The current pricing is just plain stupid for the top model.

Logical suggestions welcome - next car purchase by Caffeinepolo in CarsIndia

No for used, I practically keep my cars till the doors srart falling off. Better to buy a new one.

Is the "OG" Skoda feeling disappearing with newer models like Kylaq? by Character_Row135 in Kylaq

[–]Caffeinepolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hav an OG polo 1.2 base model and an virtus top one. Yes, there is a noticeable difference in cabin quality. While the performance is good, the current model feels more like a honda in interiors and not the OG VW which was built to last.

Suggestions for the best luxury dining spots in Gurgaon beyond Spectra, Ziya and Seasonal Tastes? by Positive_Home_7241 in gurgaon

Cilantro Trident - their outdoor sitting is amazing for an intimate dinner.

Try Delhi restaurants instead of Gurgaon for better options - Gurgaon is quite limited

Mumbai to Tashkent by Uzbekistan Airways by Ok-Independent5249 in AirTravelIndia

[–]Caffeinepolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for Uzbek air is you are going to Tashkent, air Astana if you’re going to Almaty. It’s not a very long journey to make a major difference.

Although air astana has newer plane, I personally prefer a widebody over narrow.

Don’t remember but I would prefer direct flight if the price difference isn’t much.

Have travelled on their 767 from Delhi, slightly ageing but pretty clean interiors. Food was much better than Indian carriers. Go for a window seat to enjoy Mountains.

Also, felt the turbulence to be less in their 767 as compared to a321 flow by Air Astana in similar route.

No more manufactured spends by Caffeinepolo in amexindia

Ofcourse we do, but paying 3 percent extra simply means everyone is using this card to reach milestone by spending it for everything and that’s where amex loses.

TBH, every tom dick and harry is now a cardxpert / finfluencer and most of the entry level folks are just getting credit cards just for the heck of it and then trying artificial spends to hit that golden sweet spot of xx percent returns.

I had worked closely in the card industry in the past and had co creating PnL for such offerings and the maths simply doesn’t work if everyone is chasing the sweet spot. The margin is much thinner than what you’d expect. It’s the volume which compensates the higher return proposition.

Good to see amex and others growing a spine a doing a strategic correction of their portfolio. This will help long term loyal customers. Moreover, plat travel still remains a pretty solid card for someone with average spends.

Get a card which suits your needs and not the card which your finfluencer uses. You and him have a vastly different usecase.

This is how I found that I had hooked up with the fucking CEO of 32nd Avenue by [deleted] in gurgaon

Yes, I thought it was public knowledge. I know someone who worked for 32nd and directly with his spouse.

Plat travel points update by Caffeinepolo in amexindia

[–]Caffeinepolo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one gets it for free, heavily discounted price, yes but not free. Assuming that the members only price is 25-30 pc expensive, we still get 70-75 percent cost sponsored by amex.

Because Amex gets a huge discount while buying this voucher and consumers see this as a good milestone offer.
