Buying GOLD/Jewellery from Credit Card

codenerd

Hi all,
Some of you may not have an idea about buying gold/jewellery via credit cards. I myself didnt have much idea until I purchased myself.

So recently I purchased jewellery from a big retail jeweller and swiped my cards at their POS machine. Following are the cards I used:
AMEX Smart Earn CC - Got 1 MR point/50rs without capping
AMEX Gold Charge Card - Got 1 MR point/50rs without capping
Indusind Visa Signature Debit Card - Got 125 points on spending 10K
Amazon ICICI Apay CC - Straight 1% cashback to amazon pay wallet

The point of this post is that there are many cards which dont give any reward points on buying gold/silver or any jewellery or atleast they mention that way in their T&C. I used the above cards at their physical store (not online purchase) and got all the due rewards without any issue.

Bonus Tip: Then added the above equivalent amount to Mobikwik Xtra and earned 12% p. a until my bill payment date. That way I kind of earned more money/value out of this transaction/strategy.

Another Bonus Tip: Paid all credit card dues a week before the due date (enjoyed 12%interest p.a until then without any issue!!!) via CRED via DEBIT CARD.
Since I used IndusInd Visa Signature Debit Card (Indus Partner Account. Neither Select, nor Exclusive), I got 3K points which is equivalent to around 1050rs cash redemption.
Basically if you pay your CC bill using Cred by your IndusInd Visa Signature Debit Card, you kind of get 1050rs per 1 lakh bill payment roughly per month per card.

The good option I see in these is Tata Neu HDFC if you are buying in Tanishq. Otherwise, its DCB.
 
Do I get unlimited 5% Neu coins for card transaction through POS in Tanishq?
No, it is not unlimited.

For Tata Neu Infinity, maximum monthly spends and annual spends eligible for Neu coins at 5% is 6 lakh and 18 lakh respectively.

So you can get max 30k back for Monthly and 90k back for annual spends.

Yes, same.
You can't use them on coins/ Bars..
Only Jewelry is allowed.

The store I went to, said there were no limits as such, i used around 6-7 GVs on a single product of 28K. they happily accepted it.
(I didn't tell them I was getting CB)

Still read TnC carefully and always confirm acceptance with the store before buying.

RJ GV is only valid for 6 months.
 
1gm gold will come at around ~5950 if we use 1000rs off with Rupay credit card
Thanks bro. I will buy some.
