A Reddit user recently shared an impressive strategy for purchasing the iPhone 17 at a fraction of its retail price. The phone, typically priced at ₹82,900, was acquired for just ₹24,338 through a series of discounts and cashback offers. The user first applied a ₹3,000 discount using an ICICI bank card and a ₹2,000 store discount, which brought the price down to ₹76,368. After selling an older iPhone 15 for ₹40,000, the user claimed an 18% GST refund, effectively reducing the final cost to ₹24,338. Additionally, the user benefited from a recent collaboration between iPlanet and IndiGo, earning 24,000 Blue Chips that can be used for flight bookings. The post has garnered significant attention, with many users praising the strategy as a smart way to purchase high-end devices.
