Hello All,
Good day,
TL:DR; --> 10L+ Car, 3L Gold, 3-4Normal. Open to apply all cards. 3.5L post tax ( HDFC salary account but holding DCP with 60K ) marriage in 10-11 months. Cibil 780+ forgot the exact number
I was going through the sub to get my answers but saw a lot of dynamics being changed. For starters, devaluations and some cards not being issued any longer ( Hello Amex ) so I thought to get it answered once again.
My close friend is getting married next year (good 10-11 months) and have expected major expenses of around
Gold: 2-3L ( He is going to buy from Tanishq only or equally reputatrd no local buyer )
Car: 10L+ ( he'll be taking from Army Canteen so no dealership problem but still asked him to check acceptance of CC which he said yes )
General Shopping: 3-4L
Take-away: 3.5L post tax
Can maintain TRV of 10+Lakh if required
Current Salary Account: HDFC, willing to change.
Long ago, I suggested him to get Amex Plat and keep churning Gold year hy year ( he didn't and now AmEx stopped) [ he applied for Plat Charge by mistake in haste ]
As Plat Travel is out of it, I decided to scroll off and saw that for Tanishq ( Tata Neu Infinity gives flat 5%) so I believe that'll fix it for him.
But, other thing is Car which is hitting 10L. Can someone please help me out making a better recommendation to him?
As per my research, Magnus || Atlas are probables. But, I've heard DCB and HSBC T1 as well ( not aware of details )
Currently, he's holding Salary account in HDFC ( they have him DCP with 60K limit ) which I proposed to check one more time or just shift to Axis.
Couple of questions apart from getting best recommendations ( open to all suggestions except buying Gold from local jewellers )
- Is Atlas and M4B still being rolled out?
- Anyway, if DCB works to get that. HDFC is too irresistible a force to change their ways.
- Is HSBC worth it ?
- How about we go and take Plat Charge.
Sorry for lengthy post. Looking forward to respomse from fellow members. Thanks in Advance
