Peng retweeted
Folks who use iShop through the EPM or Times Black credit cards, do keep checking whether the accelerated reward points are being credited for your transactions.
I made two purchases on the same day; one was a Flipkart Gift Voucher, and the other was an Amazon Shopping Voucher. The Flipkart transactions' points were credited, but the Amazon points weren't.
I contacted iShop support, and they checked and confirmed that the points hadn't been credited. They've escalated the issue internally. I've also shared a screenshot with their support team at [email protected].
As per ICICI's policy, reward points have to be credited within 60 days of the transaction date. Since that period has already passed, I escalated the issue.
Do keep a check on your reward points for every transaction. Make sure the accelerated points are credited and that the calculations are correct.
ive always wondered what happens if you meetup at a public place, then dispute the transaction afterwards? do they take your kyc and all for recovery 💀
not even a team of 7 Nobel prize winning scientists will be able to figure out what goes on in someone’s head when they make posts like this

unlimited white wine to start off the trip right @ encalm prive t1
got super lucky that the receptionist didn’t ask to match boarding names so both wifey and i could access. used EPM & icici wealth dc
had idfc private cc with guest access ready just in case they didn’t allow
umm so turns out i missed the HSBC Accor transfer bonus by ₹6.57. wouldn’t be as mad if it had been ₹6.7 instead
what is going on with uber airport pickups??? cheapest ride is nearly 1k (this used to be like 400 max) + long walk to pickup + dirty car + no boot space
booked from goibibo instead. MG electric car, amazing service, clean with amenities and roadside pickup @ 70% of the cost
man knows his shit! reach out if you need visa help!
🚨 Hey everyone! Here's a little announcement I've been meaning to make for a while…
I'm officially starting Captain Visas, a visa assistance service to help people navigate their visa applications. ✈️
For those visiting my profile for the first time, I'm Arjun. I'm an avid traveller, having travelled extensively over the last decade.
I've been assisting people with visas for quite some time. It started with colleagues and friends asking me to look at their applications, and over time, many more people started reaching out. I've helped tons of people so far, and I'm excited to take this forward through Captain Visas.
If you've been following me here on X, you've probably seen the visa checklists, guides, and other visa-related content I've shared. Many people have found them extremely helpful. Those who've taken assistance from me have often appreciated the depth and attention to detail I bring to the process.
Applying for a visa can be quite stressful for Indians. There are a lot of documents to prepare, myths and misinformation to navigate, and it's not always easy to figure out what actually applies to your situation. On top of it, there's the fear of rejection, especially when you've already spent money on flights/hotels, planned a trip with family or friends, and requested time off work. The whole process can get overwhelming.
That's exactly where I want to help people.
Being meticulous about documentation is something I learnt from my mom. I bring that same attention to detail to every visa application, making sure every document serves a purpose and the entire application tells one clear, consistent story!
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every applicant has a different profile, travel history, and purpose of travel, and their application should reflect that.
And honestly, what keeps me going is the excitement people share when they message me saying, "I got my visa approved!" It makes me super happy knowing I played a small part in making their trip possible.
So, Captain Visas is officially live! 🎉
Check it out here: captainvisas.com/
I'm starting with Schengen visa (Europe) assistance, with UK and Japan visa assistance going live on my site very soon.
I currently offer two services with straightforward pricing:
📕 Document Review: ₹700 - You've prepared most of your application yourself, but want someone to review your documents, identify gaps, and tell you what needs to be fixed.
📘 Complete Visa Prep: ₹1,200 - More hands-on assistance with documentation, a personalised cover letter, itinerary recommendations, and overall application preparation.
You can book an appointment through my website, DM me on X, or reach out to me on WhatsApp.
For now, I'm the captain behind Captain Visas, navigating this ship myself to ensure that I can give every application the attention to detail it deserves.
To all the folks who've trusted me with their applications so far, thank you so much. A lot of this wouldn't have happened without you. 🙏
P.S. - My DMs on X are open, so feel free to ping me for any visa-related queries!
had exact same chronology of thoughts as aly. this card is not for the point minters (icici has ensured that with the caps), it is for the networkers and lifestyle seekers
While people shit on the ICICI 1838 Reserve, I think we’ve tunnel-visioned so hard into reward rates that we’ve forgotten to step back and see what this card actually offers.
I won’t lie, when I first saw the benefits, I thought charging ₹2 lakh as an annual fee was a joke.
But after diving deeper, I realised that for the audience they’re going after, this card actually makes a lot of sense.
And it’s not about the villa stay or the free haircuts at Truefitt & Hill.
It’s mainly three things.
1. Full-access Quorum Club membership with your spouse.
This membership alone costs ₹4–6 lakh, and you also get access to their network of 280+ private clubs worldwide.
I’ve spoken to several luxury lifestyle concierge brands, and the demand among HNIs for these exclusive private clubs is only increasing.
Places to work out of, network, host people, attend events, dine, etc.
2. A full-fledged lifestyle manager through Crib Life.
Essentially, a dedicated concierge who can help you get things done, arrange experiences, and manage lifestyle requests.
I’ve used Crib Life through my Times Black card, and they’ve actually been excellent.
3. The Visa Infinite Privilege business-class benefit.
50% off your second business-class ticket, up to ₹50,000, every quarter.
For someone who regularly travels business class with their partner, using this benefit even twice a year across separate quarters could mean ₹1 lakh in savings.
I genuinely think there was a gap in the UHNI market for a card that offers access to closed doors and a proper lifestyle concierge.
So, will I be getting it?
Firstly, I’m not a UHNI.
But if I lived in or around Worli or Lower Parel, close to The Quorum in Mumbai, I would have definitely gotten this card for at least one year.
Just for the networking, enjoying the club, and exploring the private club access around the world.
My verdict?
If you’re wealthy and live close to a Quorum, I genuinely think this card is a no-brainer.
But if you don’t value the Quorum membership, it becomes really, really hard to justify the annual fee.
P.S. This is NOT an ad. I just think most people have tunnel-visioned into treating credit cards solely as reward point-generating machines. But if you actually look into what something like The Quorum Club offers, you’ll understand why exclusivity can sometimes be worth it.
