( #210 ) Offers & Updates of 16th October 2026 ||

Summary

The video is a roundup of payment-app cashback promotions and Amazon product deals for 16 October 2026. Its practical focus is on checking account eligibility, activating offers before paying, and treating unusually cheap listings as potential cancellation risks.

Offers and Operating Details

ABCD App — Merchant UPI Cashback

• The offer is described as running throughout October: spend ₹350 or more by scanning a merchant QR code to receive ₹100 cashback.
• Availability is account-specific. The presenter estimates it appears for 80–85% of accounts, while 10–15% may not have it.
• Cashback may arrive in 10–15 minutes, but some users may wait 24–48 hours. Some reportedly receive no cashback. The presenter says similar account-specific issues have affected Bajaj offers.
• Suggested tactic: check for an in-app notification before transacting if eligibility is uncertain. If an account repeatedly receives no offers, the presenter suggests trying another account.

Ajio and “Sen” — Mispriced-Item Cancellations

Ajio trousers reportedly listed for ₹28, and a separate ₹10 offer from Sen, were cancelled after customers placed orders.

The presenter estimates that about 90% of such “loot deal” orders may be cancelled, particularly when many orders are placed; the remaining 10% may be fulfilled. This is the presenter’s estimate, not a verified company policy.

Amazon Promotions

• One offer is described as ₹250 cashback on a ₹2,500 purchase, requiring manual collection and available on many accounts.
• The presenter also refers to a selected-category offer of ₹250 cashback on a ₹500 purchase. The exact relationship between the two thresholds is unclear in the subtitles, so check the offer terms in-app.
• The stated deadline is 17 October 2026.
• A separate Scan & Pay offer gives ₹10 cashback for a ₹20 QR payment after manually collecting the offer, if it appears in the account.

Slice Weekly “Sparks”

The presenter says new Sparks began on 16 October and recommends checking the Spark section weekly and activating a desired offer before paying with the Slice RuPay credit card.

Examples include:

• BigBasket: 20% cashback, capped at ₹80, on purchases of ₹249 or more.
• BookMyShow (the subtitle says “Bookmy”): 25% cashback, capped at ₹250, on ticket bookings of ₹499 or more.
• Swiggy Dineout: ₹250 cashback for an order of ₹100 or less, paid with the Slice credit card.

Other weekly Sparks may cover recharges, Zomato, or Swiggy.

HDFC Digital Rupee

• The Scan & Pay promotion is described inconsistently: the subtitles say a ₹20 merchant payment earns ₹5 cashback, then refer to ₹10 cashback per transaction. They say it can be used five times and “three times in a month,” for a stated maximum of ₹150. Confirm the current in-app terms before relying on the total.
• A load-money offer reportedly pays 10% cashback: a first monthly load of ₹500 would earn ₹50. The presenter credits a user, Trideep, with sharing the offer and reporting cashback.

Shopping Deals Highlighted

• Women’s kurti: approximately ₹99.
• Havells ceiling fan: deal price ₹2,220, with a ₹410 coupon, bringing the stated effective price to ₹1,810. Credit-card cashback may provide additional savings.
• Orient fan: ₹1,400, with a ₹250 coupon and potentially ₹57 cashback using an Amazon Pay ICICI credit card.
• Ambrane 20,000 mAh power bank: about ₹1,299. An SBI credit-card offer reportedly saves ₹200, for an effective price of roughly ₹1,100. The subtitles contain a garbled price-history figure, so treat the stated final price as approximate.

Practical Playbook

• Check eligibility first: Offers may be account-specific; collect or activate them before making a transaction.
• Verify the terms: Confirm eligible categories, minimum spend, caps, expiry, and payment method in the app.
• Allow for cashback delays: Do not assume instant credit. The ABCD offer may take up to 24–48 hours, and some users report receiving nothing.
• Be cautious with extreme discounts: Mispriced or unusually cheap listings may be cancelled, especially after bulk ordering.
• Compare the final price: Add coupons and card cashback to the listed deal price, and verify the effective total before purchasing.

Presenters and Sources Mentioned

The presenter is identified in the subtitles as the host of EL Tech/EagleTek. The video also mentions Trideep Bhai as the source of the HDFC load-money offer report and refers viewers to the EagleTek Telegram and shopping-deals channels.
