Liberty Mutual Online Site Fail

Why would a prominent insurance company site require you to enable third party cookies to pay a online bill? Beats me. Fail... With EU privacy laws and IE DNT coming into force, they sure need to rethink their cookie dependency

Arizona alarm permit regions

In Arizona there are different city regions and there is no clear indication on which city office handles the alarm permit registration for a particular address. The thumb rule seems to be the city which handles the water and trash service is the one that handles the alarm permit registration.

Skywards Award Redemption

The skywards loyalty program has one of the worst redemption option for airline travel with continental USA. When you go to their website they ask you to fill out a form with exact flight number and flight time desired and it take 4-5 weeks for them to process that and mostly results in a "ticket not available". I tried calling their contact number and after many trials was able to get a direct contact to their redemption center. You can call this number 1 800 762 9775 M-F 9am - 8pm EST and they will take the itinerary on the phone and confirm right then. Hope this helps

ICICI Money transfer NEFT working day restriction

When transferring money via the ICICI bank account, if you are transferring via the NEFT facility and you don't do so in the working hours then you get the below error








Most banks simply log the request for money transfer and simply show an alert at the end saying that since you transferred in the cutoff period for the day, you money will be transferred in the next working day. Instead ICICI bank does not allow to log the request. So now I have to log back in on their schedule to schedule a transfer. Totally inconvenient and BS. As per the cutoff times on the screehshot above, they are based on IST. This is an NRO account which means it for Indian citizens residing abroad. I reside in Arizona USA so what this means is that I gotta wakeup before 6:00am in the morning to log a transfer funds request? Goes to show that was there any thought kept when designing this thing for NRI's? Another reason to stick away from ICICI for NRE/NRO accounts. My other NRO account is Citibank and it clearly allows me to transfer money anytime of the day and internally schedules it on same day/next day based on cutoff times.
