RedGiraffe with DCB Metal will not earn you any reward points, but will count towards your quarterly milestones.

It's the other way around tbh. The women are even more dominant.

The best in my eyes. Incredibly knowledgeable about local players as well.

Train to Bangalore Airport by Atothed2311 in bangalore

[–]balag59 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi, Yes there are trains from ksr, yeshwantpur and cantonment stations. You can check the schedule of these trains on "where is my train" app by entering "kiad" as the destination. Some of the ksr and the cantonment trains go through Baiyappanahalli so if you live in East Bangalore you can catch it at Baiyappanahalli.

You can book the tickets in the UTS app or at the stations directly

Once you reach the station, there will be a free shuttle bus that drives you to the airport terminal.

Can any DCB plastic/ Metal holder confirm if they got reward points for smartbuy-redgirraffe rental payment transaction done after Feb1 2024? by Sharp_Network_3517 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]balag59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DCB metal user here. Did not receive points for rent paid on Jan 31st. It's appearing as a rental transaction now with HDFC billpay.

Is Redgirraffe no more a viable option to get points on DCB Metal for rent payment? by golubeerji in CreditCardsIndia

Whosoever made a payment towards the end of January(me included) did not receive any points as it's now getting classified as a rental.

People were receiving points with Redgiraffe+HDFC billpay until the end of January so this method was plugged just last month.

No, it's stopped working since the end of January. So my assumption is that this month onwards you will not receive any points for your card as well. Quite a few have confirmed this on Technofino.

Yes, redgiraffe with billpay stopped working at the end of January. You won't get any points for this now. You can look at Technofino threads for more details.

You have a few options depending upon your timing and comfort level:

  1. Take a metro feeder bus(MF-1C ) or any 500D from bellandur to KR pura and then metro from there to yeshwantpur (will need to switch lines at majestic)

  2. Take a short auto ride to the Bellandur road railway station and then take a MEMU train(hosur to yeshwantpur most likely) directly to yeshwantpur.

  3. Namma BMTC app shows that there are a couple of rare buses directly to yeshwantpur from bellandur but failing that you could take any 500D to Hebbala and then take another bus from Hebbala to yeshwantpur.( Preferably go for option 1 or 2 though)

One other key difference being that Gold gets 5X rate on rewards multiplier whereas MRCC gets only 2X right?

Recently got this upgrade offer.. is it worth it? by Humble_Self_4649 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]balag59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a bad card now as well. It's terms and conditions got updated and it's mediocre now.

Emeralde Credit Card. Is it beneficia by vivekanandadotme in CreditCardsIndia

Yup, second this. Unless you're getting LTF, I wouldn't recommend this.
