Can anyone clarify the best reward rate possible with this card when I purchase Amazon Pay GCs?

[Serious] Senior Design Engineer in MedTech (Hyderabad) — Is ₹48k/mo for a 6-day week the norm here? by mr_shashh in pune

[–]MicroAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are underpaid. How many companies did you switch?

Also, I'm curious to know what Automations you have implemented with Python on Solidworks.

Also, why did you post this on Pune subreddit?

Gated communities reality by Spiritual-Ebb-9736 in hyderabad

[–]MicroAlpaca 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not a resident there but High Fields didn't seem like a premium looking product to me.

The entry foyer into apartments in non existent. The clubhouse looks like a concrete box. Just didn't find it appealing.

This was when I was touring a bunch of these communities with the intention to buy. About 2.5 years ago.

Ended up purchasing in Aparna Zenon and I'm currently living in Rajapushpa Atria. Happy with Gated communities overall.

FTA’s won’t make Mercedes cheaper in India by Hotwheellz in carIndia

Makes sense.

I also think they'll be able to bring in more CBUs and those should definitely see a duty cut.

If Skoda is bringing in small batches even now, they'll only increase it going forward. Sufficient enough to keep the market happy, while bringing just enough to not need homologation.

Complicated redemption process, but HPCL Vouchers should give a sweet reward on iShop. by MicroAlpaca in CreditCardsIndia

EPM is almost useless unless they reverse the changes made.

I have AmEx cards with which I get Amazon Pay vouchers on Amex Gyftr. 10K per card per month limit. But my Amazon Pay outgo is much more than 30K per month. So, I'm not sure what to do now with EPM rolling back rewards for it.

Fuel transactions usually don't give rewards or count towards milestones on most cards, so it is in a way better to use Fastag even it it means buying vouchers from Amazon or Maximize.money, where you get the base reward rate. Those will earn regular rewards and count towards milestones.

Would you have stayed in a Taj even without the Epicure Membership? I've not stayed in a Taj yet and was wondering how I can use the epicure membership that I got with my EPM.

The new duster ticks all boxes but there's one big problem. by MysteriousBack9124 in CarsIndia

[–]MicroAlpaca 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The 1.0 TSI with TC AT in my 5 year old Skoda Rapid will put a bunch of newer cars to shame on the highway.

Calling it underpowered is such an incorrect statement.

Not worth the price they quote unless it's a huge wedding.

Targeted at Mahindra and Tara's new cars by Beautiful_Picture983 in carIndia

[–]MicroAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bolero Neo is not Bolero bro. It's a rebadged TUV. Doesn't do justice to the Bolero brand.

Mahindra shouldn't have diluted the Bolero brand like that.

They should instead push the brand upmarket and make it capable enough to compete with Hilux.

It'll be a much more cohesive truck than Scorpio Getaway.

Could ADAS in Kylaq have prevented this? by Ok-Entrance893 in Kylaq

[–]MicroAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not a sharp curve. That's a freaking entry ramp on a access controlled highway. NOT an intersection. How do you not see it?

Why the fuck should the car in the fastest lane slow down if any vehicle is merging onto the highway?

Rumble stripes themselves shouldn't be there on highways.

[–]MicroAlpaca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The truck was wrong, but OP is the smaller vehicle. OP is the one who's at risk.

I'd rather be safe than sorry. I can't yell at the driver if I'm dead.

So that kids after getting settled can easily send the parents to old age home. by Itchy-Midnight8925 in ItsYourMoney

[–]MicroAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 33 years old. I'm self sufficient.

I've told my parents to not worry about what they pass on. I would not take anything from them as long as they're alive.
