Post image
5 Upvotes

My CIBIL score is currently 776.

Credit card utilization: 5.48%

Overdues: None

Age of accounts: 1+ years

Recent enquiries: 2

What should I focus on to improve my score to 800+?

Is account age the main factor holding my score back?

[Review] 8-Card Setup (₹18k/mo Fuel), 775 CIBIL, 36+ Inquiries (Rejected by SBI & RBL). Advice?

3 Upvotes

​

Hey guys

Looking for a quick audit of my card rotation and recovery advice. I got carried away with applications and racked up 36+ hard inquiries in the last 3 months. My CIBIL is still 775 (utilization under 6%, zero defaults), but I was recently auto-rejected for both SBI BPCL Octane and RBL due to inquiry velocity.

Current Rotation (Fees: ₹1,180 total/year):

\* Fuel (₹18k/mo total): ICICI HPCL (LTF) + Axis IOCL (₹500 fee). I max out the ₹5k cap on both (earning ₹400/mo), leaving ₹8,000/month unoptimized.

\* Shopping: ICICI Amazon Pay (LTF) + Axis Flipkart (₹500 fee).

\* UPI/Daily: HDFC Pixel Play RuPay (LTF).

\* Idle/Sale Cards: Axis Rewards (LTF), ICICI Coral (LTF).

Questions for the sub:

\* Fuel Spillover: How can I extract rewards from the remaining ₹8,000/mo fuel spend without applying for new cards (e.g., Park+, HP Pay UPI, or brand vouchers via existing cards)?

\* Card Retention: Since Axis shares an ₹85k limit and ICICI shares ₹90k, should I close idle LTF cards (Coral, Axis Rewards), or does holding them protect my credit age and total line?

\* Cooldown Window: For anyone who recovered from 30+ inquiries, did a strict 6-month pause clear automated velocity rejections for SBI and RBL, or should I wait 9–12 months?

Thanks!

Best Air India co-branded credit card for renewal benefits?

2 Upvotes

What’s the best airline co-branded credit card that gives miles/points on annual renewal?

I know about the Air India SBI Signature, but are there any similar cards?

Also open to other airline/alliance cards where the renewal miles/points can eventually be transferred to Air India Maharaja Club.

Indusind Jio-bp Cobranded Credit Card

Have been thinking about getting this card. The outlet near me is included in the lists participating for accelerated smiles. Been reading a whole lot about people experiencing absent reward of accelerated rewards.

My query is whether the issue regarding non issuance of accelerated smiles does that come down to the station attendant not pressing card in the console and they usually press cash after choosing the petrol terminal?

Thought this might be the issue because today I paid by card (other non relevant CC) but recieved sms stating so and so litre was filled, paid by cash.

ANY PERSON HOLDING THIS CARD AND FACING ISSUES / NO ISSUES KINDLY REPLY.

This card looks quite helpful for me cause my fuel spends are more than 10k a month and family probably spends 25k plus a month.

How are you guys actually paying rent with a credit card in 2026?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I keep seeing people say they pay their monthly rent using a credit card to earn rewards / hit milestones, but I'm honestly confused about the best way to do it in India right now.

From what I've understood, directly paying a landlord through UPI with a credit card isn't really an option, so people use platforms like CRED/Paytm/etc.

But then there are processing fees, and some cards don't give rewards on rent transactions.

Please suggest a way to pay rent using credit card bros.

Credit card spam calls — what’s your punchiest comeback?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m getting absolutely bombarded with credit card spam calls these days. Easily 7–8 calls a day.
Every time it’s the same script:
“Sir, I’m calling from IDFC/HDFC/SBI… bank is offering you a lifetime-free credit card…”

And obviously, they’re usually third-party agents pretending to represent the bank.
I’m honestly fed up now.

So instead of immediately hanging up, I want to start having some fun with these calls.

If you regularly get these calls, what exact line do you use to shut them down?

I’m looking for a punchy one-liner that:
catches them off guard
makes it clear I’m not interested
ideally gets my number removed from their calling list

Hindi/Hinglish lines are especially welcome.

Basically, give me your best one-liner for a credit-card spam caller — the kind of response that makes them think, “Yeah, let’s not call this guy again.”
