What's the deal with Cred

All the cool marketing and UI/UX aside I find myself wondering what's up with Cred? Here are my questions, knowledgeable product folk or better yet people from Cred or who worked at Cred can you please help with the following questions (and associated complaints)

  1. What's the point of the store anymore? The brands are actually far less premium than they're made out to be. Plus you don't get access to exclusive products.
  2. The reward system is just sad now, why have they changed the logic and reduced the monetary rewards so much? What were just PLG features like earning cashback for referrals is a voucher now plus the Rs. 1 cashback is just insulting at this point.
  3. I used cred cash once and I'm not going to need much more. But I'm wondering if you're catering to the top 1%, do they really need liquidity at 9% interest?
  4. Cred Mint seems like a worthwhile proposition, however the returns are only marginally better than the best FDs out there. Also if they're partnering with Liquiloans, which primarily lends to other startups, isn't that risky? How will they guarantee returns if someday Liquiloans goes under?

Cred is truly a topic of surprise for me. Yes, I understand it has created a community of top spenders/credit worthy people in India. I also understand that they can use the information on such people for creating value for themselves.

It is doomed. If they layoff I hope they fire the UI/UX design first for such an atrocious app design
