From last month I am using HDFC DCB with Redgirraffe through Payzapp. Net profit is around Rs 500 worth reward points, not bad.

For a rent of 18k, RedGirraffe charges Rs 83, and I get 600 points with the DCB card which is wort Re 1 when redeeming for travel. In the DCB statement, points for this transaction is coming under insurance payments.

There is not reward points from HDFC for rental payments. So incurring the cost in Red giraffe for HDFC card is expensive

If you make the Redgirraffe rent payment using HDFC Bill Pay from netbanking, then it is not categorised as rental payment, and you get the the regular rewards.

 

[ALOAK]

I did not get reward point for rent which I did through cred

 

[Shreyasrp]

Which is the best way to pay rent using Axis Atlas? As I cant see axis option on

RedGirraffe

Hi is it still valid? I need to pay rent and thinking for DCB for rent payment. I think hdfc doesn't charge for first rent payment in the month

I think so, I haven't made the payment for November yet. As I mentioned, it is not categorised as rent pay, but a regular bill pay. So you can make any number of such transactions in a month and still get reward points.

Hi everyone. I pay society maintenance charges through redgirraffe / magnus currently. Have Burgundy so nett nett happy with 4:5 ratio till 50000 Rs a month. But building going through major repairs and have to pay 10 lakhs in Feb or before. Which card/platform should I use? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks

 

[Bhavik567]

Is there any platform that doesn't classify society maintenance payment as rent even if it charges upto 2.5%? Coz magnus will give me more than adequate points to offset the charges. Thanks

In cred for 200 coins now they waived off convenience charge for rent payment. So if one has hdfc cc n not done rent payment they can use n take money out if emergency since 1st rent txn is free in hdfc cc without convenience charge unlike other ccs

 

[minhazuddin]

No matter what but rent payment is more of money rotating guys' game than genuine rent payer.
