I didn't donate my Cred Points and I’m Happy about it.

My Unpopular Opinion.

Please note that this article is well-rehearsed, and not well researched.

I have more than 2 Lakh cred points in my account right now, and frankly speaking, it’s been lying there for the past 2 years, unutilized.

A couple of days ago, a social media trend picked up in the middle of the pandemic amidst acute oxygen shortage in the hospitals in India.

People started donating their cred points with the view that in exchange, some NGO will provide oxygen to the needy.

Overwhelmed, I jumped to the decision. I immediately installed the Cred app (Which I have not used for the past one year) and declared to my friend, I will donate my Cred Points too.

She dropped me a hint, What if they are just fooling around? So I postponed my decision for a day. In the meanwhile, my social media was flooded with posts about people donating the points for the cause.

I pondered over it, how have I accumulated so many points and why are they still lying there?

Cred started offering cred points in return for paying credit card bills via their platform and gave 1 point per rupee spent on Credit Card. Initially, they offered lucrative offers, such as 1-month free membership to Cult Fitness but over a period of time, the quality of offerings degraded, making people wonder, what shall they do with these points. (They should have offered the option to buy Bitcoins using them 😜)

And then I pondered over it again. This time, something about human behavior, “Let’s give away these Cred points. Anyways they are just lying in the wallet, and are pretty much useless for me.”

Raise your hands if you have contributed to PMO care fund and take my bow.

Jokes apart, let’s take a moment to cheer Team Cred for their good intentions and kind hearts in supporting the fight against Covid.
