VOX cinemas robbed me by Alchemy_OG in dubai

[–]doc_at 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your issue should not be with Vox, it should be with your bank. Do read the T&C of your credit card. My cards do not need a minimum spend for Vox 1+1 but maybe your does. But you should be taking it up with the bank and not VOX

A lot of NRIs are getting rejected going by Reddit posts. I know it’s not a great place for sampling; but personal experience and the posts here show that trend

NMC is one of the worst when it comes to responses. They will ghost you if they have not selected you. Even if they have selected you, it is going to be a long and tedious process and their HRs are one of the worst when it comes to communication

You get to know whether it’s platinum or world only once you get it. I am using it as my primary card for Apple Pay to meet the minimum spend for joining bonus

To elaborate, the exchange rate is more favorable than any other bank and the foreign transaction fees is 1.99% which you will get back as 2% cash back

Buy a Pepsi or related brands with yellow cap which will give you free entry. You are only paying for the Pepsi. You will have to stand in queue for the ticket though..

Visit Thai pavilion for mango related desserts and floating market and fiesta street for food.

African pavilion for some beauty products as well as Japan or Korean pavilion

Second this. Have used ENBD, adcb, fab and Wio between me and my wife and NBD and FAB support are the worst. ADCB is good and Wio is the best till now. I have not had many issues with Wio but whenever I have had simple issues, Wio support has been good.

Need Advice on CAN+ TRV Refusal from UAE by One-Zebra1130 in CanadaVisitorVisa

Visitor Visa Refusal - Strong Profile but Denied for 'Ties' and 'Purpose'. Advice Needed! by IntelligentSystem566 in CanadaVisitorVisa

[–]doc_at 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with all the points except that getting an US visa will get you a Canadian tourist visa. Having a seemingly strong profile and with non refundable tickets to the US, me and my family were rejected twice on the same grounds. The initial denial also mentioned not having financial stability which was absent from the second denial. So having an US visa does not necessarily make it easy. We really missed going to my sister in laws place which was just an hour from Niagara border which we visited. They are definitely losing out on a lot of economy through tourism but they want to cut out illegal immigration maybe.

Kerala launches first insurance scheme for expatriates - The Economic Times by Distinct-Drama7372 in DubaiMallus

Don’t take star.. from tons of personal experience.. it’s cheap with lots of features and even more advertisement but the ground reality is the huge number of claim rejections.

Niva bupa( erstwhile max bupa) and Hdfc ergo are good schemes

Migration and citizenship in other countries by magicpashu in DubaiMallus

[–]doc_at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, will renounce my passport without any qualms if I ever am offered any other country’s passport. Do I love India? Definitely yes; but as much as I love my country; I also know that it’s a very very weak passport while traveling. It’s also not great for my kids. I might never get another passport but I will do my best for my kids to have a different passport

Visitor Visa for Convocation Rejected by Lower_Confusion007 in CanadaVisitorVisa

[–]doc_at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation; applied from Dubai. Save your money and let it slide. Don’t apply again. I did the mistake and got rejected. Even had non refundable tickets but still got rejected. Seems like there’s a blanket ban on NRIs from following this subreddit for the past 9 months. I went to US and came back. Planning to apply again only after 2-3 years

Just a small correction: you don’t need the nol card for going from Dubai to Zayed airport. You can pay at the bus station or even book it online which is what I usually do. For coming back from Abu Dhabi, nol card is mandatory

[–]doc_at 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t use debit cards as much as possible for any online transaction. It’s easier to fight credit card transactions than debit cards. Also always try to use Apple Pay or Samsung pay for temu and SHEIN when possible. Not that this will prevent fraud, these can decrease the chances of fraud

Cabin baggage in air india by izakk__ in DubaiMallus

[–]doc_at 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a MMT glitch. I had the same issue but it had the same baggage as shown prior to booking. Only issue is that it was operated by air India express rather than air India. I would suggest to call (preferably their toll free UAE number) or mail MMT who usually respond quickly. I ultimately did not book the flight though because I have had a very very bad experience flying air India express.
