I started this blog to help people choose the right credit card for their spending. I personally save well over Rs. 1 lakh each year using reward points, cashbacks, travel offers and other card benefits, and I wanted to share those strategies so others can benefit too.
It’s been about a year since I launched Cardexpert, and it has become the only dedicated site in India offering real credit card reviews, honest opinions and active conversations with thousands of readers. I’m grateful to everyone who has made this possible.
I received hundreds of emails and comments this year thanking me for creating an informative platform that helps people save money while they spend. That feedback has been very encouraging.
Recently, a reader who used my paid credit card consultation wrote to thank me for offering a paid service. It’s good to see readers recognize the value of time. In fact, most of the information I provide is already available across the blog’s hundreds of articles and thousands of comments; the paid consultation is simply the fastest way to get a tailored answer.
Gifting the Top 10 Readers of CardExpert
As a token of gratitude, I decided to gift the top 10 readers and contributors who added unique value to the blog over the past year. I hinted about this surprise in my previous email to subscribers.
If you haven’t received my email, you can join the mailing list from the pop-up that appears occasionally, or simply by commenting on any article.
I selected the winners based on their overall contribution to the site, primarily the number and quality of comments. I also considered in-depth contributors like Manish, who wrote insightful reviews of the IndusInd Iconia and Amex Platinum Reserve cards, and SriKrsna, who reviewed the SBI SimplyClick card for online spending.
Winners
- Manish – [email protected]
- SriKrsna – [email protected]

- MANU KUMAR – [email protected]
- Vinod Kannan – [email protected]

All winners will receive Rs. 100 worth of mobile recharge. I’ve already contacted them via their registered emails and am waiting to deliver the gift. I’ll likely redeem HDFC reward points to fund this giveaway.
Note: A few potential winners were disqualified because their comments did not include a valid email address.
If you’re a winner, please share how you feel. For everyone else, keep contributing — I plan to run similar giveaways more often. Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous New Year 2017.
2016 was a great year for me with a lot of positive energy. How was your year? Feel free to share in the comments below.
