Multiple people have been buying there. And as you can read on comments, i only bought for 5k against their lakhs. Atleast the AGV was valid. Instantly added it to wallet and it worked fine. As far as CB on Swiggy is concerned, will only know once statement is generated.

Just found something interesting on X related to mentioned site.

I might be overthinking this, but I believe posts openly discussing high returns on APay vouchers could be a reason why banks are increasing surcharges on these purchases via Gyftr portals.

From their perspective:

• Gyftr & Maximize might assume that people are getting Amazon vouchers at a discount, leading them to increase surcharges to make up for it.
• Gyftr might tell banks that customers are using more Amazon Pay vouchers, encouraging banks to further increase surcharges, since they see it as a "double dip" opportunity for users.

User provided calculation:​

• Gold Charge earns 1,600 MR on ₹1,000 × 6 spend = 26% MR return
• Total paid: ₹6,000 + bank surcharge ₹53.1 (0.885% amzn already charging) = ₹6,053.1
• For a 26% return, 1 MR point should be worth at least ₹0.98

Issue here is, Gyftr, Maximize, and banks don’t need this calculation -> they just see the 26% return and might justify raising surcharges to 6%, believing users are still getting a 20%+ return.

IMO, Tagging Gyftr, Maximize, and explicitly mention the 26% return with Gold Charge might unknowingly attract attention from banks and platforms, leading to further surcharges.

Also, 26% here is very very hard to achieve most of the time and for many of the people.

ok...but my confusion is
whether the bank peoples are so ignorant that they do not already know that Gold charge gives 26% return
for that do they really need my help or will they learn from me and thank me that wow..I, HDFC, Never know that using gold charge you can buy amazon voucher at 26% return...
it is becoming a trend to assume that everything is happening without the knowledge of the bank people (like something secret) and if you are the first one to teach them

What is the Gold Charge and 1600 MR? How can I get 26% return via this.

I have SBI Cashback Card and I mostly buy Amazon GV from Amazon and sometimes form Maximize Money.

Am I missing something?

Well the reason I added the tweet was mainly that I never knew you could use Amazon pay vouchers for buying other gift cards... That was the whole point of highlighting it. And yes the return rates mentioned are not accurate.

gold charge never gives 26% it gives 1600 points. if only u redeem for 1MR = 1rs. then only its 26%.

no, bank people knows only that 1MR = 0.58p that they provide max. to their user. They only knows that their cards shouldn't use for commercial pupose. They only knows their card benefits only, not double or triple dips.

Its we teach them, about alternatives and make them fix things. Its the same place, we complain things, we appreciate things, we teach things.. all happened in same platform and under same X ID.

If we mention, only we get 1600 MR points, no issue.

If we mention, we can transfer 1 MR = 1 Marriott Point, no issue.

But making directly claiming 26% (which 90% people, I hope won't achieve) makes the eye and attract crowd ... which makes changes in system ultimately who thinks 90% people achieving that rate.

And 1MR = 1Rs. is very hard for normal people, but under this assume if any of the changes I mentioned earlier happened to them, it reduces their 8.5% returns even further.

// as mentioned, sometimes I might overthinking, just sharing my opinion.

Yes it's very hard to get 1Mr point = 1 rs and if you factory in the second year fees for gold charge then this return percent reduces more.

exactly. its never 26% atleast for 90% of gold charge users, IMO.

 

[manideep77]

Yes, it mainly depends on how we are redeeming these MR points, many people may not convert to marriot
