Hey guys, I’m 18 and completely new to all this card/travel stuff 😅 Never really used debit cards much before and this will also be my first time travelling.

I have an HDFC EasyShop Platinum Debit Card and I’ll be booking flights worth around ₹30-40k today. I wanna understand the airport lounge access spending criteria properly.

Does the required spending only count when you physically swipe/tap the debit card at stores/POS machines? Or will online payments also count wherever I enter my debit card number + CVV directly (like flight booking websites, Amazon, etc.)?

Basically if I book flights online using the debit card itself, will that count towards the lounge eligibility spend requirement or not?

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question 😭 I know I could probably find mixed answers through Google/Reddit searches, but I genuinely don’t have much time today and wanted confirmation from real users who’ve actually tried it recently.

Would really appreciate the help.

Hey everyone, I'm booking my flight for a 12-13 day Malaysia trip but I'm kinda confused about the timing...like I'm planning for September but worried about the rain !!! does it rain a lot in september?? I've read a lot of comments saying it doesn't rain for long but still wanted to ask.... Like does it normally rain more in september? Should I book earlier like july or august instead?? It's gonna be my first international trip so I don't wanna mess things up....And sorry guys, I'm a complete layman about all this so bear with me!!

Hey everyone, is ₹27k a fair price for a Delhi to Phuket round trip on Singapore Airlines for November??? Booking abt 5 months in advance and ( it's my first international trip so not sure if this is a good deal or not ) so should I book now or wait??? Any chances of the price dropping or will it only go higher????

Heyy; I’ve recently taken admission in an offline bachelor’s program at a local uni and now I’m thinking about applying for an online bachelor’s program as well.

I’ve read about the UGC guidelines for pursuing two academic programs simultaneously but I’m still not fully sure.....

*Is this officially allowed as per UGC rules? Has anyone here done something like this?

Also is there anything important I should keep in mind before doing thiss?? Like could any university create issues later coz of doing both simultaneously? Should I get written confirmation from both universities before joining? or can I join without informing both??

~Would really appreciate any genuine advice/ personal experiences....
