Buying GOLD/Jewellery from Credit Card

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.
 
Did anyone try HDFC Millenia for offline gold purchase? Does it give 1% cb?

Also, do tanishq/reliance/joya and other major jewelers charge anything extra for accepting credit cards? or they don't care about mode of payment at all?

NO extra charge for credit card.. they will happily accept any credit card.

Millennia gives 1% CB plus 1k voucher if u cross 1L in a quarter, got the same for offline purchase in GRT for close 90k (10k other spends in the quarter), IDFC Wealth gives 2.5% CB (in 10x RPs) once you cross 30k barrier per month, if the purchase value is less than 1L for a quarter then better go with Millennia so that you can make up the 1L spends in a quarter via other purchases and get flat 2% CB (1% via CB and 1k voucher), also no extra charges on CC in GRT

Any idea about using HDFC DCB / ICICI Sapphiro / AU Zenith....
