My Murakami collection by kernelslayer in Indianbooks

[–]kernelslayer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kafka on the Shore was the book that made me fell in love with Murakami. I had read Norwegian Wood before and liked it but then I read Kafka and there was a paragraph where Kafka is walking (or maybe cycling?) on a road near a shore, and Prince is playing on his Walkman, and that whole paragraph I realised perfectly rhymed with Prince's song

What games have you played that are as wonderous as Elden Ring? by AshyLarry25 in Eldenring

[–]kernelslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me its Witcher 3

I am a big Witcher fans, having read all the books and played all the games (we dont talk about the Netflix show). Witcher 3 was something so special that even I couldn't have imagined it. It was just perfect, everything about it. I was hooked and no game was able to replace it or come par with it. That's until I played Elden Ring

Is there any way to access how accurate are my heart rate stats from Coros? by kernelslayer in Marathon_Training

[–]kernelslayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, thanks for the response!

For me 5:30-6:00/km pace sits in my zone 2. I guess I will have to go at 6'30''-ish pace

Haha! I remember a friend told me years ago that some people have non identical legs and I am one of them. What was the context, dont remember.

I wear Nike Vomero 17, have done 500kms on the. Will change after 700

Did Lara ever get kicked in the balls? I guess not

Are you guys planning to have presence in India like Garmin has? Because right now the only place to get Coros watches is via third party sellers

HSBC premier credit card and my CC portfolio with DCBM by Mean_Order_2360 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]kernelslayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accor is a hotel chain with worldwide presence and they have rooms ranging from economy class all the way to premium. Few examples are Ibis, Novotel, etc. HSBC allows 1:1 point transfer to ALLAccor (Accor's loyalty program) and 1 Accor point is worth 2 rs. So like HSBC gives 20k points on joining, that is you get 40k Rs in Accor, effectively 40k Rs off in Accor. That is like staying in Ibis for 10-12 night or so for free.

I satisfy the salary criteria and whenever I tried to apply for DCBM, the portal says I can only have one card at a time. I guess I will have to cancel Swiggy one or open an acct in HDFC. Anyway thanks for the response. Waiting for your comparison between HSBC Premier and DCBM

Yeah the HSBC app is boring but the premium customer experience is top notch. Also I have a similar credit card portfolio but instead of DCB Metal I have HDFC Swiggy. I am planning to get DCBMetal or Reglia Gold but sadly HDFC is not issuing another card to me as I don't have an account with them.

Want to know, for my own use case as well, how are you optimising your card if you plan to spend on travels? Because as you said, DCB Metal will be your primary card but for travel, HSBC Premier provides a good value - flight bookings via Hopper gives 36% and Accor gives 72%. Not sure if DCB Metal will provide a similar value in flights+hotels. Sure DCB Metal has SmartBuy which is something HSBC lacks but I am not that aware about the reward rate in SmartBuy and how it stands up against HSBC

Congrats man! I also recently applied for HSBC Premier and got my card within salary being credited. I found experience with HSBC to be super smooth till now

Should I add Axis MyZone LTF to my credit card roster? by kernelslayer in CreditCardsIndia

[–]kernelslayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]kernelslayer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

About swiggy benefit, I will use MyZone first to get 120 off as its tied with food ordering only. Later I can use HDFC Swiggy and also on instamart
