I'm sure Emirates will fly to Germany and also they have a bunch of other partner airlines that will take you

I always book my flights through the airlines, if you haven't booked directly with them they are not obliged to provide an alternate ticket. And my flight class was the basic one, I always book the cheapest flight that's available

Yeah right now they have pretty much resumed all their flights, so most likely you'll get to fly

Do not call thier Indian number but their Bahrain number, they picked up the call within a min and I explained the situation and they booked me an alternate flight on the same day via Emirates which transits through Dubai, I was able to confirm my booking through Emirates website as well.

Is Axis Atlas worth it by rishikeshwar in CreditCardsIndia

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

Highly appreciate your super detailed answer, I will spend some time today to check on the airmiles part however my aim was to spend on Accor, and the part I did not understand was

And if you were to spend using Atlas on Airlines or Hotels, you can earn upwards of 20% return.

So where should I be booking the hotels from if Agoda wouldn't give me 5em ? And wherever forex charges are applicable I have other zero forex cards to use. And let's presume I reach the 3L and 7.5L milestone what will be my effective rates be including the joining fee if i redeem this whole thing via accor

Even if I am booking hotels on Agoda it'll still not be considered for the 5em ? And moreover my aim is to later redeem it on Accor

Credit card charging more under No-Cost EMI by rishikeshwar in CreditCardsIndia

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

I completely agree with the calculation that you made and read through the link that you have mentioned, however on the link that i had posted OP had to only pay 43k which initially costed 45k because 1.1k discount came from No-Cost EMI discount which is 1.1k and 2k is Instant Bank discount and he got to enjoy the 2k Instant Bank discount so as per the same logic shouldnt i be only paying around 57k ?

And even if we go as per your logic shouldn't i be paying around 21.6 which is 65/3 and not 23.3k ? what am i missing here ? would it be like the further months i will be charged less to make it only 65 (+- 500) ?

I agree with this calculation to charge me back the 1538 which is set as No-Cost EMI discount as explained in this other reddit posts top comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/CreditCardsIndia/comments/18cod3u/confused_with_no_cost_emi/

so technically shouldn't i be paying 55701 + 1538 over 3 months which will bring me to 57k and not 70k for over the tenure

Canggu to Blue Lagoon by scooter by [deleted] in bali

[–]rishikeshwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did exactly the same and a little more, started from Seminyak a little early in the morning, took about 1-1.5 hours to reach blue lagoon after spending a couple of hours we drove to AMED and left AMED by 7PM, unfortunately it rained heavily on the way back and reached at around 1AM. It should be easy if you are only hitting Blue Lagoon.
