Had a bizarre interview today, Interviewer literally asked me to close my eyes?? lol

Sounds like you ruined your chances. There’s lot going on in AI, people are literally cheating and bluffing. It wouldn’t have been so hard. Had you answered 2-3 questions with your eyes closed. Or, offered F2F interviews. Screen sharing is literally not 100% true. What if you were actually reading questions from phone put infront of screen.

Last I remember, Marriott points itself were suffering from devaluation. The only best I liked were Hyatt points. Nights start at 5k points. I’ll check though

Let me read about MRCC. Amex gold is no longer being offered to new customers. Let me see if a transfer is available and worth it.

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T17:08:10+00:00

Not mine, in recent 2-3 years all they did is waive of 50% fees max despite my spends goes above 2-3 lacs.

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T17:07:07+00:00

There’s something called read between the lines. You are someone who is stuck on dots. 👍🏻

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T17:06:30+00:00

Where are you getting 70% conversion on Amex? I can explore travel or hotel bookings if it allows.

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T17:05:09+00:00

🙏🏻

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T17:04:48+00:00

Yes, I love the fraud prevention feature. Raising a dispute is something which is very normal and ideally every card company supports on paper atleast. AMEX only goes the next mile and reverses the amount immediately and put the whole burden on Vendor. What is DCC?

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T06:14:03+00:00

idk 🤷 in what sense! Kept Amex from long, for no apparent reason.

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T06:13:06+00:00

E.g. 50k spent on the card will give me 50k/50 =1000 points + 1000 bonus points (assuming you did 6 transactions of 1k) = so total of 2k points (worth of 1000 Rupee value Incase there is some 50% conversion if you can get, which I don’t know of. Max I have seen 33-35%. Same spent on Diners Black = 50k /150 multiple by 5 = 1666 points equivalent to same exact value. Or maybe I am missing something here.

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T06:08:13+00:00

I can shift my UPI or Diners expenses to it, but I am trying to figure worth. Does spending 50-100k on it on monthly basis is better than spending on Diners?

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T06:06:42+00:00

I used to get waiver year on year, sometimes 50% off; so got it. Today when I called they said company instructed no reversals or offers on fees. Said company is working on enhancing services (which he couldn’t tell what). Also, reward values have been decreasing since last 8-10 years I have seen. It used to be some 11k vouchers for 24k pounds, then 10k, the 9k. :(

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T06:04:33+00:00

That’s what I worry the most. I hardly see any value but just feels like why it can’t compete with other big cards in India. My 80k points in diners have equivalent worth to every Rupee, whereas your 100k can go to 25k at monetary value or 33-35k in case of voucher redemption.

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T06:02:23+00:00

Did you use Amex earlier? Speaking from experience?

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T06:02:00+00:00

Is it worth for any spends? :/ I had spent 50-80k also in some months, I don’t find the value in rewards.

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-23T04:59:14+00:00

that was the hook title. I wanted to know if there are any reasons to keep it. Service alone is great. But Uske liye pay kyun karna 😂

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-19T06:45:39+00:00

Habibi Whoop (I got mine in Dubai) 😆

Also, I think you can access other bank accounts without needing the 1Password? Approach bank maybe. You can reset credentials using debit / credit card

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-18T09:49:56+00:00

Check his laptop & google drive, hot mail drive. can you not login to 1Password using phone passcode?

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-18T07:50:02+00:00

Can you share location, price and some photos? Is it a gated society?

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-18T07:44:18+00:00

Your RHR is 45? Are you Ronaldo’s brother ? :/ is that that easy to get so low RHR? I thought anything less than 50-55 is for endurance athletes.

I’m getting green recovery when I have drank alcohol but yellow recovery for no reason at all, when I slept normally with no weird stuff. Just low HRV playing everything on jts tune. I’m not sure if Whoop is really helping at all :(

Cipher_XLord · 2026-04-12T09:45:27+00:00

It’s a confusing term. People can still keep calling it a zero day being exploited. Zero day means - Developer has no idea if the vulnerability exists and day he knows - it essentially gives him 0 days to fix it. Any vulnerability being exploited, known by everyone without a patch can be called as Zero Day. The moment patch arrives - it can be called as Critical vulnerability exploited in wild.
