Airtel Money Wallet changed their MCC code to 6540

[Abhishek012]

Airtel Money Wallet changed their MCC code to 6540:​

Now the merchant name is showing as Airtel Money | AIRTEL PAYMENTS BANK LTD (MCC changed to 6540 | Wallet Load / Prepaid Card / Financial Institution)

Payment Gateway is Razorpay

No more rewards !




If anyone has Millennia prepaid card here do try the transaction it the show the MCC code on screen.

I loaded yesterday using BOB Snapdeal
I got "AIRTEL" and gateway Payu.
MCC 4814- Telecom

Try again and again to get "AIRTEL"

Airtel do not accept Prepaid Cards Now. You yourself shared with us and I also tested personally.

 

[jack333]

I'm also getting AIRTEL

 

[jack333]

Dont do direct load into wallet. Load from Amazon, kotak, paytm or indusind

 

[gurubhai]

No more rewards !

Which rewards you talking about? pls elaborate.
.
Also My Amazon money load failed via Airtel payment bank too .. was using my axis card. 😢

Despite this, Amex cards, BoB Eterna(3.75%), SC Ultimate(3.33%), and SC Smart(2%) should still give rewards, right?

How do you check MCC codes?

 

[VISHESH_BANSAL]

How do you check MCC codes?

E-Mail the respective Bank to know MCC.
For HDFC you can call to customer care also

Ok, so post doing transaction, we ask for MCC.

I thought it was shown at payment page or there was some way out to check!

To get merchant name AIRTEL instead of Airtel payments bank or Airtel money

 

[gurubhai]

First add a bank account in amazon wallet then it will work @gurubhai

pls elaborate a little. I don't use any bank account in general while loading money in Amazon pay.
You want me to add a bank account to Amazon like we do in Bhim app or other upi apps?
because my amazon pay upi is enabled with one of my bank account already.

 

[jack333]

Like we add bank account on bhim before adding credit cards

To get merchant name AIRTEL instead of Airtel payments bank or Airtel money

That I am clear. But how to load from Kotak, IndusInd etc?

We have option only to trigger from Airtel right?

EDIT: Got it, thanks. So trigger from Billdesk payment page of IndusInd etc right? Even then it is not working. Same issue.

I tried once, got Airtel, tried few more times getting Airtel Money only.

Rupay legend is using mc😜
Kya baat Hai bhai 😁

 

[Seth]

So payment which shows "AIRTEL" while paying give reward and also cashback for
Flipkart axis and Freecharge axis credit card for
Load money via Amazon - Airtel net banking?

And is this trick still working for both types of CC if we see merchant name "AIRTEL" on payment page?

Please confirm.
