I rarely post fundraisers, but this one is for a close friend and the need is genuine. A family member is currently in the ICU, and the medical bills have already crossed ₹7 lakh. If you're able to help, please consider donating. If not, a RT/share would mean a lot. ketto.org/s?id=rm-8416066629… 🙏

Everyone loves the headline number. Very few calculate the actual cost. 👀 Current trend: “Buy product → get massive Supercoins → convert to Air India miles” Sounds insane on paper. But here’s the part nobody wants to discuss: You are often buying a product priced at ~2.5x–3x its real market value just to manufacture miles. Example math: ₹10k-ish real value product listed around ₹20-25k. Let’s say you purchase 2-3 of the same items. → You get ~67k Supercoins for say products worth 25k (remember which you weren’t even planning to buy) → After doing all the mental maths and on a specific date you convert them to get ~65k Air India points So what actually happened? You didn’t “earn free miles”. You effectively BOUGHT ~65k Air India points by overpaying ₹40-45k on a product you probably never intended to buy at that price in the first place. That’s roughly ~0.7-0.8₹ per AI mile. Now ask yourself: Would you directly buy Air India points at that valuation? Probably not. Why ? Because for economy class, considering opportunity cost lost with all the miles you earn back on cards and with airlines on revenue booking, this 0.7-0.8 valuation seems a lot inflated. And with business class or even PE, maharaja isn’t a great value program anyways. Yes, there ARE scenarios where this can work: • If you genuinely needed that exact product • If the product resale value remains strong • If you value AI miles extremely highly post revaluation But portraying this as “free products” or “crazy loophole” is misleading. The real win in points & miles has always been: ✔️ Organic spends ✔️ Transfer bonuses ✔️ Smart redemptions ✔️ Arbitrage NOT forced spending disguised as rewards. Sometimes the cheapest miles are the ones you never bought emotionally #ccgeeks
