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.
 
Ok I see a few tags & Ajio is the first place to look at. Whenever there is a 10% cc offer it applies on most coins/bars/pendants.

So, if it's working on coins you should buy Reliance jewels, if it's not working on coins you should buy melorra/malabar pendant.

For.ex - Ajio was running cc offer for federal/AU cc user 10% Upto 1k off (Currently the offer has ended). Below is the example -


Rate - 3307rs (*2) = 6614rs
Ajio wallet discount - 198rs (3% discount) - (100-500rs referral benefit can pm me for referral for new user)
CC discount - 6416rs
Discounted price - 5775rs/gm
*Reliance points (RONE optional can also be used if you have)

Apart from that tatcliq, Myntra, amazon & flipkart preference in mentioned order

Edit - SBI card offer is live now calculations still valid with SBI card

I bought gold bars at 15% discount using cashback card last month. Tata cliq voucher was selling at amazon at 10% off. Now the discount is only 5%. You can still get additional 5% using cashback card
