SAVING MORE OR SPENDING MORE..?


All of us have heard  about cashback offers,rewards etc.

All the Giant UPI payment vendors offers  rewards when we transact on their portal.

 These portals are designed in a such a way that we can have all the access in one click.

But are these portals giving us offerings OR they are trapping us in a buying cycle?

For few days we get cash backs but after some time they offer only rewards.

Then to redeem these rewards there is some minimum expense condition.

Ultimately we save some money on one thing to purchase other thing.

For example we transact with one UPI platform and get reward of 399 rs off on some shoe brand which requires minimum expense of Rs. 1000 then to redeem that reward we have to purchase shoe of Rs.1000 or more .

And the buying cycle goes on.

And most ignored fact is we even don’t need that product or service immediately but here comes expiry date of reward to create pressure and leads to impulsive shopping.

But here is a solution

1.    Do not select any reward in hurry.

2.    Try to figure out what products you need immediately and which products you  don’t even need.

3.    Avoid impulsive shopping. At least take a gap of 24 hours to decide actual need of a product or service.
