Apple Product Purchases with Points on Infinia Smartbuy Portal: Best Time, Pricing, and Rewards

[vaibhav111vaibhav111 is verified member.]

Has anybody bought an Apple product using points on the Infinia Smartbuy Portal in the past 1/2 Years? My questions are: What is the best time to make a purchase, and are AirPods Pro 2 currently priced at 26,900 points? Do the prices usually decrease over time? Additionally,Although I wish an Apple Watch was available, redeeming with a 1:1 ratio seems to be the best option. Not in a hurry, I can wait until later this year. During the last Black Friday sale, Apple AirPods Pro 2 were available for 19,000 with HDFC card and other discounts, but I didn't make the purchase. This time, on Amazon Prime, the price is only 2,000 less with an HDFC card, and on Flipkart, it is listed at 21,990. Thank you.

hi, could you please let me know how many days did SmartBuy take to deliver the AIRPODS to your address from the date of placing the order using your points redemption ? What was the courier used and was there any communication regarding where to track the order status, shipment, and the courier AWB Number ? Thank you in advance 🙂

It took 3-4 days and bluedart tracking sms and the biggest thing was NO OTP was asked for such a expensive thing. Cause I was waiting for the product through email or sms dispatch was send by bluedart.

Sharing my recent experience:

I ordered an Apple TV 128 GB from the Smartbuy platform around noon on May 28th, with 70% paid through points. ETA for delivery was 7 business days.

Delivery address was in Chennai.

I received the product by 3pm the next day, neatly packed, delivered via BlueDart. This was better than the timelines promised by Apple Online Store (which was 4pm the next day - the product was out of stock on all other platforms).

Impressed with the speed of shipping!

The only area that needs improvement is to include order status tracking on the website, provide alerts when physical goods are shipped, and require OTP at the time of delivery (since these are high-value items).

Now enjoying the new life my TV has got with the Apple TV device, considering how unusable my TV had become in the recent months because of outdated OS and lack of updates.

Do we get reward points on the remainder amount we pay via infinia? Like we get 3.3% or the 16.66%? I am guessing 3.3%, right?

You would get 16.66%, that's the whole USP of ordering on smartbuy with infinia

Okay

Any idea when the Iphone 15 showed up on Infinia smartbuy? Is it 6 months after the launch?

I have an HDFC Regalia Gold LTF card, and I noticed that the SmartBuy platform catalog is significantly more expensive compared to Infinia. For instance, the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are listed at 71,140 points for Regalia Gold cardholders, while Infinia users can redeem them for just 26,900 points.

Can someone share the Apple product catalog list for Infinia, Diners Club Black, and Biz Black credit cards? This will help me decide on upgrading my Regalia Gold card accordingly.

That is ofcourse cause for Infinia, apple products are 1:1, nothing like that for Regalia gold, I think. So, if MRP is 26900 according to their merchant, it is 26900 for Infinia, while for RG, it is at most upto 0.35rs

Hi, I ordered an iPhone 16 yesterday using infinia points. The 128gb variant was priced at 79900/- where i used 70% from points and remaining through infinia cc. I didn't receive any message on shipping! Received only a mail from smartbuy showing the transaction details.
Don't we receive any message from bluedart before the delivery?
