Best card to purchase on Amazon, now that HDFC accelerated rewards program has ended?

[Batman]

I want to buy the Pixel 6, trying to find the best deal for it.

Price displayed today is Rs. 45800. I can see a Slice Card offer - Amazon Pay balance of Rs. 2500 on a purchase of 25k or higher. Any other better offers that you can recommend on credit cards / debit / wallets?

How about using Intermiles/CashKaro/Zingoy in conjunction with the good old ICICI Amazon Pay card?

As an aside, if you're willing to get an out of warranty Pixel 6 from Amazon (since its not officially launched in India), why not get it from a friend / relative from abroad? Should be cheaper than any rewards accumulated.

Pay through Amazon Pay ICICI CC (unlimited 5% cb), and pay the CC bill using HDFC Bill pay (1% cb upto ₹750 using easyshop Platinum DC). You will get 6% cb (₹2748) in total.

The price in India is $575. US price is about $550 at lowest. If I buy from India, I can at least get seller warranty. I also checked with Amazon, the seller is trusted, and Amazon provides replacement & refund against any manufacturing defaults. Seems like a decent deal to me 🙂

Best of all, I get the phone within a week, instead of waiting for relatives to come to India after a month or two.

I'm sorry I have no idea of Intermiles or Cashkaro / Zingoy. I do have Amazon Pay ICICI, that's a sweet 5% deal right there.

This seems the best deal so far. Thanks!
