I know you didn't mean that literally and shame on you for not having a proper HDFC card to buy your tickets through Smartbuy!
It will be interesting to see what they launch tomorrow. I'm sure there are plenty of people some knowingly, many unwittingly still earning 9W miles esp. on CC spends and plenty of people will still have buckets of miles in their accounts - people who are unsure where to spend this.
I'm very surprised that whatever action JP is seeing is incentivizing them to keep this programme alive! I thought they would come out with a notice like... all miles will expire on 31 Mar 2019!
