Anybody able to pay sbicard bill via jio fin or uniportal? It shows no bill available. Anybody facing same issue for sbicard?
Based on the inputs from fellow members,

For jio fin, need to add the dc again even though the dc is showing in the saved cards and try paying.

For unipay, try paying the bill without logging in, it should work.
 
I have converted my individual IDFC wealth account to joint.
The family member that I have added has received normal debit card.
Will there be seperate reward profile for that debit card?

Account number is same for both debit cards.
But customer id is different.

I did 1st transaction from that new debit card on 10th of aug.
But haven't recieved any points in my existing reward profile.

And I am unable to see another reward profile with new customer id.
 
For my parents joint account I tried it out - only the primary holder DC spends accrued points
I called their support twice.
And as per their support, both debit card will earn points.

1st time they told me there will be 2 different reward profile.
2nd time they told me single reward profile would be there

Waiting for 14 days to raise the complaint

Only Primary Holder DC will Receive the Welcome Benefits in Case of joint and all the transactions done via Primary DC will receive the RPs.
 
Has anyone been getting points since August 10?

Do they have an email to reach out to for manual credit (am outside India now not able to call their customer care)
