IDFC Millennia ₹5,000 Welcome Spend – Does Amazon Gift Card Count?

Recently got the IDFC FIRST Millennia credit card.

I need to spend ₹5,000 within 30 days to get the ₹500 welcome voucher.

Does buying a ₹5,000 Amazon Pay gift card directly from Amazon using the Millennia card count towards this ₹5,000 spend?

Has anyone tried this and received the welcome benefit?

PhonePe SBI Card SELECT BLACK — Amazon Pay GC & maximizing rewards

I’m considering the PhonePe SBI Card SELECT BLACK and wanted to clarify two things:

If I **buy an Amazon Pay gift card directly from Amazon using the SELECT BLACK**, will I get the **5% online-spend reward** (up to the 1,000 RP monthly cap)?

What is the best way to **maximize rewards on this card**? For travel, should I book **through the PhonePe app**, where train bookings open ConfirmTkt and bus bookings open AbhiBus inside the PhonePe in-app browser, so that they qualify for the **10% PhonePe travel category**? Or would booking directly on ConfirmTkt/AbhiBus give the same reward?

Looking for experiences from anyone who has actually used the card for these transactions.

New to SAP BTP – How do I learn from fundamentals to advanced?

Hi everyone,

I’m completely new to SAP and recently started the SAP BTP LCNC 2601 certification path.

I’m finding LCNC a bit difficult to fully understand because I don’t have a strong understanding of the SAP fundamentals and how everything fits together yet.

I don’t want just a certification-focused approach. I want to learn SAP technical/BTP properly from scratch and eventually reach a professional level.

For someone starting from zero, what fundamentals should I learn first, and what should I eventually know to become strong in SAP BTP?

Would really appreciate advice from experienced SAP developers/consultants on what I should learn and understand along the way.

Is my ₹50,000/month investment plan good or should I change it?

Hi everyone,

I’m 21 years old and planning to invest ₹50,000 per month. My investment horizon is 10+ years, and I would consider my risk appetite aggressive.

Here’s my current allocation:

Investment Monthly
ABSL Liquid Fund ₹10,000
Baroda BNP Paribas Mid Cap – Regular ₹10,000
TrustMF Mid Cap ₹10,000
Bank of India Small Cap ₹5,000
HDFC Flexi Cap ₹7,000
Gold ETF ₹3,000
Stocks ₹5,000
Total ₹50,000

I’m mainly looking for long-term wealth creation and don’t need this money in the near term.

I’d like suggestions on whether this overall allocation is good or bad, and whether I should make any changes or simplify the portfolio.

Also, the Baroda BNP Paribas Mid Cap is a Regular plan because my uncle manages/invests through that route.

Would appreciate suggestions from people with experience in long-term investing. What would you change if you were in my position?

HDFC Optima Secure – What happens to Plus Benefit after a claim?

I’m considering HDFC ERGO Optima Secure with a ₹20 lakh base cover and I’m confused about the Plus Benefit.

As I understand it:

Year Base Plus Benefit Secure Benefit Max Single Claim

Year 1 ₹20L ₹0 ₹20L ₹40L

Year 2 ₹20L ₹10L ₹20L ₹50L

Year 3 ₹20L ₹20L ₹20L ₹60L

Year 4* ₹20L ₹10L? ₹20L ₹50L?

My question is: If I use the full ₹20L Plus Benefit in Year 3, what happens in Year 4?

Does the Plus Benefit become ₹10L because another 50% is added at renewal, or does it become ₹20L again?

Also, if I use only part of the Plus Benefit, does the remaining amount carry forward and another 50% get added at renewal?

Would appreciate clarification from someone who has actually claimed under Optima Secure or understands the policy wording.

Care Supreme – Instant Cover renewal, 1-year carry-forward & Cumulative Bonus: Need clarification

Hi everyone,

I bought a Care Supreme individual policy for my mother with a ₹10 lakh base SI. She has pre-existing diabetes and hypertension.

The policy currently has the Instant Cover add-on, which reduces the PED waiting period to 30 days for accepted conditions.

I have two main doubts:

  1. Do I have to pay for Instant Cover every year?

I understand Instant Cover is an add-on and is charged separately. If I pay for it in the 1st year, but decide not to take/pay for it from the 2nd renewal onwards, what happens?

Specifically, what would happen in Year 3 regarding my mother's diabetes/hypertension coverage?

Would the normal PED waiting period apply again, or does the waiting-period benefit already earned from the first year continue?

  1. How does the 1-year carry-forward/continuity benefit work with Cumulative Bonus?

My policy certificate mentions:

Base SI = ₹10 lakh

Cumulative Bonus = 50% of SI per year, maximum 100%

PED waiting period = 36 months

Continuity benefit approved for ₹5 lakh, with PED waiting period reduced to 2 years for coverage up to ₹5 lakh

So, assuming no claims, would my coverage theoretically become:

Year 1: ₹10L

Year 2: ₹15L (₹10L + ₹5L CB)

Year 3: ₹20L (₹10L + ₹10L CB)

But here's where I'm confused.

If I stop taking Instant Cover after Year 1, then in Year 3, for my mother's diabetes/hypertension-related hospitalization, how much can actually be claimed?

Is it:

₹5L only, because the continuity/PED benefit is only for ₹5L?

₹10L, because the original base SI has completed the relevant waiting period?

₹20L, including the accumulated Cumulative Bonus?

Or does the CB itself also have a separate PED waiting period, meaning it cannot be used for a PED claim immediately?

Also, what exactly does the “1-year carry-forward”/continuity benefit mean in this context? Does the ₹5L PED coverage effectively carry forward once the first year is completed, even if I stop paying for Instant Cover?

I'm trying to understand the maximum claim amount available in each of the first 3 years specifically for a PED claim, assuming no claims are made.

Would appreciate someone familiar with Care Supreme's actual policy wording explaining this.

Amazon replacement marked delivered but never received — now they’re forcing me to return it. Is this fair?

I bought an electric kettle from Amazon and had an issue with the original item. Amazon approved a replacement, and I was supposed to receive the replacement package.

However, the replacement was never delivered to me, but Amazon’s system marked it as delivered.

I contacted customer support multiple times. After checking, the support agent told me that this was apparently due to a scanning issue and that the replacement had already been processed in their system.

Now, instead of sending me the replacement I was originally approved for, they are telling me that the only option available is to return the original item and get a refund.

The problem is that I don't want a refund — I want the replacement that Amazon already promised me. I also don't have a convenient courier/return service near me, which makes the self-return option even more problematic.

What feels wrong is that the replacement was apparently marked as delivered even though I never received it, and now the system says another replacement cannot be created because the previous replacement was already processed.

I repeatedly asked them to escalate the matter to the grievance team, but the support agents said they don't have an option to transfer/escalate it and couldn't provide me with a grievance contact number.

Is this actually how Amazon handles a replacement that was marked delivered due to their own scanning/system issue? Do I have any right to insist that the replacement be fulfilled rather than being forced into a return/refund?

₹50k/month investment plan with 10+ year horizon — portfolio review

I'm looking for honest feedback on my planned ₹50,000/month investment allocation.

Allocation

  • ₹10k — Baroda BNP Paribas Mid Cap Regular Growth
  • ₹10k — TRUSTMF Mid Cap Direct Growth
  • ₹5k — Small Cap Direct Growth
  • ₹5k — Flexi Cap Direct Growth
  • ₹5k — Multi-Asset Allocation Fund
  • ₹5k — Direct Stocks
  • ₹10k — Slice Small Finance Bank FD (~7.75%)

Total: ₹50k/month

Required Information

Risk Appetite: Moderate as per the Nippon India risk assessment.

Goal: Long-term wealth creation.

Horizon: Minimum 10 years.

Platform: Groww for mutual funds.

Why these investments:

  • Baroda BNP Mid Cap is through a family relative who is an MF distributor, so I intend to continue it.
  • TRUSTMF for a more aggressive mid-cap allocation.
  • Small Cap for additional long-term growth.
  • Flexi Cap as the core diversified equity allocation.
  • Multi-Asset for diversification.
  • Direct stocks for a small high-conviction allocation.

Slice charged ₹11.80 surcharge for buying a Paytm gift card — wallet loading?

I bought an amazon gift card from paytm using my Slice credit card.

Paytm didn't show any extra charge during checkout, but Slice later charged ₹11.80 as a “Wallet surcharge.”

Slice support says gift-card purchases can be classified as wallet loading based on the MCC, even though I didn't actually load a wallet.

Has anyone else faced this with Slice + Paytm gift cards? Can this surcharge be disputed, and is there any way to know the MCC/category before making the payment?

Do Jio Top-up Vouchers satisfy TRAI’s ₹20 minimum balance rule?

According to TRAI rules, I understand that a prepaid mobile number may be kept active without an active recharge plan by maintaining sufficient balance, with a small amount being deducted periodically.

For Jio, I’m seeing these Top-up Vouchers of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50 and ₹1000, all showing “Validity: Unlimited.”

My question is: Do these Jio Top-up Vouchers qualify for the TRAI provision for keeping a number active through balance deduction?

If anyone has actually tried this with Jio, please let me know:

Did your number remain active after your regular plan expired?

Was ₹20 deducted from your balance periodically?

What minimum balance did you need to maintain?

I’m specifically looking for someone who has actually tested this with Jio.

[TOMT] [Music Video] [Thai] [2021-2023] Looking for a Thai romantic song where a girl dates several men to test them

The singer is male and the song is slow/romantic. The MV has English subtitles. A woman dates several men one by one to see who's genuine. One man is caught cheating, another is exposed for wearing fake hair (a wig/toupee). The last man says something in the English subtitles like: "All those guys have fake hair. I have real hair. I'm the real one." She ends up choosing him because he's loyal. I watched it about two years ago and I'm pretty sure it had under 100 million views.

Prime Candidate but Allocated to Support Role

I was recently allocated to an ITIS project in TCS as a Prime Candidate and was informed that it's a support role.

​

What surprised me is that I was allocated without any prior email, discussion, or call regarding the role or project. I was hoping for a development-oriented project, so I'm feeling a bit disappointed.

​

For those who have been in a similar situation:

​

- What kind of work can I expect in ITIS support?

- Is there good learning and career growth?

- Is it possible to get released from the project or request a different allocation at this stage?

- Has anyone successfully moved from ITIS support to a development role?

​

I'd appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!
