Can I use someone else's SmartBuy account to buy amazon vouchers using my HDFC card

A very naive question, but would appreciate if anyone could clear this doubt. :hehe:
As we all know, we have monthly limits to vouchers that we can buy on SmartBuy.
So, can I use my friend's smartbuy to buy amazon vouchers using MY HDFC Card.
And Will I get accelerated RPs on my card for the same?
I have Regalia Gold.

You'll get accelerated RPs, but the system could flag it as abuse and your card could get blocked

Alternative is getting an addon for a family member and using that card in their smartbuy account

Kindly mark as solution @vaibhav111

No need to use another Smartbuy account. Just use another GYFTR account in the same old Smartbuy account.
 
When you use the old Gyftr Account, do we have to create a seperate Gyftr Account with a diff no. ?
Can we login on Smartbuy with a Gyftr account ?
Chances of this being flagged ?
Gift voucher limit is for GYFTR. Smartbuy/HDFC has just cash back capping.
Smart buy account is linked with your HDFC account/card but GYFTR is different. For GYFTR, 1 mobile number is enough, can use same email ID for multiple GYFTR account.
Now once your Mobile number is exhausted, then do login GYFTR using another mobile number.

But we will not get the Smartbuy 5X on this right ?

Login for gyftr is separate from smartbuy login. After redirecting from your smartbuy account, you have to login into gyftr to get the Vouchers. He suggested logging in with a different mobile number if you've used up your quota from your mobile number. If you're worried about your smartbuy account getting mapped with multiple gyftr accounts, you can logout of your smartbuy account and without logging in can redirect to gyftr, else you can directly visit the URL gyftr.com/instantvouchers. You'll get 5x points either way

Warning - people have reported that their gyftr accounts were blocked for using same card in multiple gyftr accounts

Can you please confirm this is a solution. I have 2 add on Cc but unfortunately with same CC number. I am thinking to cancel existing add on and get new add on card with different number. Also, can someone suggest if I can apply add on for mother-in-law to get a PP ?
 
Can you please confirm this is a solution
Yes. I've been doing it personally and others have reported the same
. I have 2 add on Cc but unfortunately with same CC number. I am thinking to cancel existing add on and get new add on card with different number.
Go ahead
Also, can someone suggest if I can apply add on for mother-in-law to get a PP ?
No. Only Parents, Siblings, Spouse and children allowed
 
Is there other benefit for getting add-on card with different number except purchasing gyftr coupons with limitation? I mean can we track in primary holder card statement which transaction happened on which add-on card number incase something went worng?

If you have addon with same number already, only difference is the increased limit for certain gyftr vouchers. If you don't have add-ons previously, you can only get different numbers and the addon person can use the card/priority pass for their personal use
I mean can we track in primary holder card statement which transaction happened on which add-on card number incase something went worng?
Yes. Transactions done using each addon card will be titled in the statement of the primary card holder.
