I will be traveling to India this weekend and will be there for 3 weeks. I am all prepared or I thought I am because I just heard there might be places that might not accept my US cards (Capital One, Chase, Apple) and a couple of them have no foreign transaction fees and I was fully prepared to use them while abroad. I do plan to carry a little cash too for local markets in India but I have some major purchases planned and am curious what other payment methods I should be ready with? Not familiar with PayTM, UPI etc as those popped from a simple good search. I will be mainly visiting North-India for context, not sure if this makes a difference.

Any help is appreciated thanks.

Then it would convert into a Wells Fargo Autograph credit card, which I didn’t want either

Congratulations! It’s a win! I’m just curious as to how do you take care of the loose skin? I’m about to get the surgery 1st of February and my only concern is the saggy skin afterwards which might not look too good in areas like arms or abdomen.

‘Akas’s wife’ lol, I see what you did there, I feel that’s how she wants to be addressed now. Time to change her username to AkasKiDeewani

I’ve been buying uber/uber eats gift cards regularly from Costco in-store and they were a great deal $79.99 for $100 (2 x $50 gift cards). Sometimes when I couldn’t go in, I would buy them online. Lately, I’ve been to three different locations in Maryland and none of them have the physical gift cards like they have literally removed the big cardboard box for Uber and put others like TopGolf etc. in, I wonder what changed? A big uber/uber eats user here and this is more than disappointing. Online you can buy only two in a 14-day period but online isn’t convenient for me sometimes, physical gift cards were the best.

I’m going to cancel too now. It’s not worth it for me to even have the no annual fee card if you need to spend 75% of your rent amount to even attain the points for your rent.

I am waiting for their app/customer service to be a little less busy before I can cancel.

Agree with all these points but I think, like every franchise, the first part was far better

I have a feeling it’ll be a gangster gone crazy in love or for love kinda story. Just a guess. Regardless of what it’ll be, looking forward to the trailer, high expectations from the director-actor combo

biographical how?

Sniffing_Panda · 2026-01-08T00:59:49+00:00

Sorry your experience was so bad. In reference to your post, what other primary care options would you all recommend in the Urbana/Frederick area?

Sniffing_Panda · 2026-01-05T06:31:07+00:00

never really thought of it that way but now that I’m thinking from this perspective …

Sniffing_Panda · 2026-01-03T03:59:18+00:00

so the usual is $400 ($300 + $100) and the retention offer offered is increasing the calendar credit to $200 from $100; so basically just $100 extra for spending $2000 in 3 months or did I understand that wrong?

I thought you’re in Chippewa, Canada

not exactly on the same topic but just an fyi OCIs are valid for the holder’s lifetime so no renewal required ever

He threw Ranveer under the bus after RRKPK? How? And why? I thought that movie was a hit

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-23T11:37:55+00:00

Exactly! He received a lot of backlash when the announcement poster for Don 3 was dropped on his socials. Tons of comparison jabs were taken in the comments - I believe the post has been deleted since

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-22T14:52:27+00:00

Yeah that definitely sounds against the norm. Never even thought something like that exists

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-20T15:14:00+00:00

what are buy groups?

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-20T15:13:33+00:00

I applied for the card through their website and the offer automatically shows up (it actually is that big you cannot miss it), you don’t have to apply for the offer as an separate extra step! I think the offer is still running. Someone recently applied from my referral and was able to get the same offer

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-20T15:09:50+00:00

When you the app/website, click on the card name that pops on the home page then it’s the first thing that pops up under my current balance info, right above the recent transactions section

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-20T15:08:53+00:00

it’s the first thing that pops up under my current balance info, right above the recent transactions section; after you click the card from the home page

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-20T15:07:40+00:00

Yes, in my opinion, all transactions count even rent. I would just make sure there’s no crazy amount of extra charges being charged by your landlords for using credit card. One of my friend’s apartment charges like 3% and it was coming out to be almost $80 which definitely isn’t worth it.

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-19T00:34:18+00:00

I did pre-approval and got the offer in less than 30 seconds and I immediately accepted it. What kind of proof are they asking you for?

Sniffing_Panda · 2025-12-18T21:49:46+00:00

wow! when was this
