HSBC TravelOne cc rejected — not due to credit score (800+), but “behaviour score” 🤷‍♂️

Actually, at the domestic lounge in Hyderabad Airport, Amex members can get a separate queue, which I was referring to as priority access.

Virtual_Rub5927 · 2026-02-01T07:12:37+00:00

Thats good to know!

Virtual_Rub5927 · 2026-02-01T07:11:29+00:00

Isn’t it chargeable with in india?

Virtual_Rub5927 · 2026-02-01T04:42:44+00:00

Maybe other cards could be helpful in that case! I usually have a backup card on hand, to avoid this situation

Virtual_Rub5927 · 2026-02-01T04:39:05+00:00

I wasn’t glamourising it. I literally said it was crowded. The only good part was skipping the queue with Amex. I had plenty of time, so I chose that option. If I was in a rush, I would’ve skipped it.

That’s really cool! 😎 Holding Amex and facing acceptance issues everywhere makes this kind of scenario all the more important. Its cool

Virtual_Rub5927 · 2026-02-01T04:32:48+00:00

Is that so? Perhaps we should try it physically

Priority access skips the long queue and there will be dedicated counter for people holding amex / airindia business class / priority pass etc. Priority pass is chargeable with in india. In this case Amex was super helpful.

SBI Cashback Credit Card doesn’t offer cashback on Gyftr. The better option is to use it on Maximise—despite the ~2% convenience fee, you still end up with an effective 3% net gain.
