hi all

for diners black, there are no accelerated rewards on smartbuy as well as on amazon website.

but instant voucher for amazon on gyftr is giving around 10% rewards. screenshot attached.

any catch here or hidden t&c that i should know of? this seems too good to he true.

thanks!

But again looks like not worth as you are paying extra for just few points .. which may not even be used
in absence of any card specific offer (like the current 10 percent on sbi, etc) i was comparing if there are any better alternatives to icici amazon cc that gives 5 percent always. 1.25% plus gst gives effective reward rate of 8.5 percent, which is still better than icici Amazon.

3.3 is the base reward which u will get even if you don't buy Amazon voucher , so effectively for 2x points ( 660 points ) you pay 147.5 Rupees extra , so effectively getting 512 points which is ~500 rupees extra if you don't let points expire and use them for flights

its better option than Amazon pay CC for utility bill payments, rather than shopping
I don't find any other option for better reward rate on bill payments, so I use this Amazon GV from HDFC Gyftr for this purpose
 
is my understanding correct ?
yup that's right. my points will get used up on flights so no worries about that. just wanted to confirm if smartbuy is actually giving excess 5.2% net compared to direct amazon spends and that there is no hidden charges apart from processing fees and gst.
I have bought coupons assuming this. will check when the statement gets generated!

Generally yes ... but there is a catch .. sometime hdfc smartbuy flights may be way expensive .. let say yesterday I booked one flight directly from cleartrip using cleartrip offer and got for 9800 , same flight in hdfc was showing 13600+
