Yeah but since I don't have SBI Card, so have to rely on HDFC onlySBI cashback give 5% cashback on Apay GC directly buying from amazon.
Mean to say that charges might be levied to those who book many times on AmazonNo, I regularly use irctc service on Amazon.
Maybe they're rolling out to everyone slowly. As even less frequent ones are getting it too. I last booked on December 2nd week. Till then, it was not there.Mean to say that charges are levied to those who book many times on Amazon
Sorry, I didn't read your comment properly 🤣 Yes, Amazon thinks that Amazon is only one way to book train tickets. HDFC Smartbuy also will charge convenience fee on upcoming days.Mean to say that charges might be levied to those who book many times on Amazon
If everyone starts charging convenience fee, then we'll go back to IRCTC and opt UPI.Sorry, I didn't read your comment properly 🤣 Yes, Amazon thinks that Amazon is only one way to book train tickets. HDFC Smartbuy also will charge convenience fee on upcoming days.
You can use HDFC platinum Debit card which doesn't have any payment gateway charges. Through Smartbuy, you can use DC also and get accelerated rewards. But it has validity of 90 days only. Please see whether you can get Regalia or DCB and use Smartbuy to get 3x rewards though you will incur 1% + get as pg charges. Unless you go to UPI or IRCTC co branded cards, you can't escape IRCTC convenience fee.If everyone starts charging convenience fee, then we'll go back to IRCTC and opt UPI.
Don't want to pay convenience fees twice (IRCTC & Platform as well). One is enough 😕
Did you try with platinum debit card? How many days it takes to credit cashback on smartbuy irctc transaction? Millennia debit card cash back will be credited within 75 to 100 days and MoneyBack Credit Card cashback will be credited within 4 days for smartbuy transactionsYou can use HDFC platinum Debit card which doesn't have any payment gateway charges.

Yes I have used it for few months till I got my DCB. I think the debit card points came within 90 days. Good thing with promotional points is you can encash even one point but there is no alert on points credit.so one has to watch regularly and encashDid you try with platinum debit card?

Yes, That's the big headacheThis 90 days timeline is what makes me think twice whether to book via smartbuy or not.
I think the regular cashback points will come within few days if you book directly in IRCTC website instead of Smartbuy. In any case I don't have anything to lose as I felt using HDFC debit card is the best if I don't want to pay the payment gateway charges and get something back 😜This 90 days timeline is what makes me think twice whether to book via smartbuy or not.

Yep even I think soBut I think platinum debit card does not give any reward points except some catagory
You are right. I hardly use that debit card and forgot that.But I think platinum debit card does not give any reward points except some catagory
Co branded cards I guess if you're a very frequent user. Else via Amazon using Reward Multipliers/GVs. Though I could notice Amazon too started charging fees recently.. but for high value transactions &/or premium cards it should still be ok.Hi All,
I frequently travel by Indian Railways. Would like to know the best possible options to book train tickets.
I usually book tickets via UPI gateway as convenience fee is huge on cards.
Please do let me know. Thanks
Not worthy.How about using IRCTC co-branded credit cards?
