On ₹7,500 Myntra voucher on CRED with 5% off, you save ₹375 The same voucher on Infinia via SmartBuy saves you ₹1,250! I built a voucher tool from scratch to catch this. Five cards, twelve ways to pay, one answer: voucher.getbrief.cards Run it before buying your next voucher!

What I don’t know yet: how long the upgraded tier lasts. Neither GHA nor Avolta has said. What I do know: it doesn’t stack with other Avolta offers, & the % varies by store. Which tier did you land, & which airport are you testing it at first?

Here's how to use it: 1. Type the deal the way you saw it: amount, brand, where it's on (CRED, Gyftr, Amazon, your bank's portal), and the % off or cashback 2. Tap the cards you hold. No bank login, nothing syncs. They stay in your browser 3. The answer is one card and one figure: what you actually get back, net of caps, fees, and what the points are worth 4. Tap "How it adds up" for the ledger, and "Share" to send the exact deal to someone with a different wallet

Times Black keeps on giving! December travel special just landed: Complimentary business-class lounge for you & a companion, on an international ticket between 1 & 31 Dec At Encalm Privé, 080 & Adani. lounges at Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai. Keep an eye on this!
ICICI Times Black is constantly called a Rs 23,600 ripoff. As a rewards card, it's average. As a forex card, it gets beaten. Both are the wrong lens. It's a use-the-perks card. I tracked mine for a year. Here's what actually came back 🧵
