It would be great if charges are for high value bills to start with. But it's written nowhere about any specific limits.

So now to avoid amazon convenience fees, we should load the amazon gift voucher and then pay using amazon pay or directly using billdesk pay wallet option.

May be this too will be withdrawn sooner or later.

I am okay with it. They are not running a charity, and the competition in this country is stiff on more accounts than there should be. At least Amazon has a service standard.

Reminds me the urban legend of Newton's pet doors for cat. He drilled two holes in the door for a cat and when asked he said

Can any one confirm this? Does Millenia CC gives 5% CB on utility bill payment via Amazon? OR even SBI Cashback CC for that matter?
