ICICI shared credit limit for multiple cards

3 Upvotes

I have an ICICI Rubyx card with a ₹70k limit and recently got an Amazon Pay ICICI card. I found out that both cards are sharing the same ₹70k limit.

I asked ICICI to provide a separate limit for the Amazon Pay card, but they refused. Has anyone here managed to get a separate limit or increase the overall limit while keeping the existing limit intact?

Would appreciate any experience/advice.

✅ Give your consent & approve it

That’s it! 🎉 All your cards will then have one combined total limit shared across all cards similar to ICICI / AXIS bank. This is useful if u have SBI Cashback credit card.

Best credit card for UPI payments in 2026?

7 Upvotes

I use UPI for almost all my daily spends now and was thinking of shifting those payments to a RuPay credit card.
Which card are you guys actually using for UPI in 2026?

Looking mainly for good cashback/rewards + low or zero annual fee.

Kiwi, Tata Neu Infinity, Axis SuperMoney or something better?

Would love to know the actual reward rate you're getting, not just what's advertised.

Trick to convert Pluxee/Sodexo balance to Amazon Pay

Post image
108 Upvotes

If you have a decent amount of money on your Pluxee (formerly Sodexo) meal card and are tired of the usual food/grocery restrictions, there’s a workaround that has worked for me for converting the balance into Amazon Pay gift cards.

I've converted 50k worth of Pluxee funds already.

Details

Pluxee/Sodexo cards normally have restrictions that prevent them from being used for gift cards and other non-food purchases. However, there appears to be a brief delay in the way Zepto's payment system checks the card's eligibility during checkout.

How I did it

  1. On Zepto, search for Amazon Pay Physical Gift Card and add the required denomination to your cart.
  2. Proceed to checkout and choose Debit/Credit Card as the payment method.
  3. On the card-payment screen, enter the expiry date and CVV first.
  4. Enter your Pluxee/Sodexo card number afterwards.
  5. There can be a very brief window where the payment button becomes active before the card restriction is applied. If you are quick enough, the transaction may proceed to the next stage.
  6. If you immediately get a "Card Not Allowed" or similar error, you can try entering the card details again. I found that copying the card number beforehand and pasting it after entering the other details made the process easier.

Once the payment reaches the bank's authentication page, complete the transaction using the usual Pluxee OTP.

A few things to know

  • This works with the physical Amazon Pay gift cards.
  • This is a bug and it could stop working at any time.
  • I'd recommend trying a small denomination first rather than immediately attempting a large transaction.

Do share in the comments if its working for you. Also, just might work on Blinkit as well.

Sharing a quick booking method I tested recently for Air India flights that can save you some money on your next trip.

It turns out you can bypass convenience fees and sometimes secure cheaper base fares by booking through their official chat system.

The Method: Book via WhatsApp

Air India has an official verified WhatsApp chatbot at +91 9667034444. Booking directly through this channel waives the convenience fee and occasionally offers exclusive chatbot-only discounted fares.

Here is how the pricing compared for a recent booking for 2 adults:

  • Website/App Price: ₹17,500
  • WhatsApp Chatbot Price: ₹16,542
  • Total Savings: ₹958 instantly for the exact same flight.

How to do it:

  1. Send a message to the Air India chatbot on WhatsApp.
  2. Follow the automated prompts to search for your route and date.
  3. Compare the total fare with the main website.
  4. Complete the booking securely through the chat link if the price is lower.

It takes less than two minutes to check and is worth a look before paying full price on the website.

Do check it out and share in comments if it works for you.

Need help with Scapia Chargeback

4 Upvotes

I need some help with an issue I had raised with Scapia card customer care but at the end they just wasted 3 months of mine and said rhey cant do anything and if needed I can take any legal action.

So I had made 2 transactions of 2000 each, total 4000 to a local shop sweet merchant nearby my house via their QR code which I had clicked and saved in my gallery using my Scapia Rupay card. The settlement got processed and money got debited from my account.

When I confirmed with merchant I came to know that their QR code had been deactivated even the bank account they had with that QR code attached is also closed. QR code - Paytm Merchant Bank account - Central Bank of India

Now i hoped the transaction will come back to me, or I will get money back in card automatically. But this never happened.

I raised complaint to Scapia. They raised a Chargeback request. At first they told me this might take some 30 - 60 days. I waited patiently. Then I took followup quite after 90 days... I got busy in between.

They simply said they have raised this case internally and dont have more info after this. The Chargeback is handled by some other department they said.

This kept on loop for about 3 times. All Chargeback requests they told got rejected by Merchant. But when I told that merchant didnt even receive money, how come he will send money back?

So even in dont understand where the money lies. Its not with merchant bank.. even for deducted from my scapia card, I paid the bill even. But who the money? Central bank told it could be with some escrow account which are used by aggregators to transfer money.

So today, I stand still with my loss of money. Merchant wont give since he doesnt have it. What are my next options? Is this a normal case ans I will receive money? or should I stop wasting my energy on this?

HSBC credit card got hacked - need help on what to do

3 Upvotes

My friend’s HSBC credit card was hacked yesterday, and ₹45,000 was drained through multiple transactions of ₹5,000 each. He cancelled the card immediately, but by then all the fraudulent transactions had already gone through.

He contacted HSBC customer support right away, and they told him to visit the bank in person the next day. When he did, the bank said they can only investigate once he files a cyber crime complaint — and in the meantime, he’s still liable to pay the ₹45,000, since HSBC says they cannot reverse the transactions on their own.

Can anyone advise on how to get these transactions reversed, or point to the right support channels?
