HDFC Millennia DC: Smartbuy 5% + 5% + 2.5%

[desiviru]

This post is regarding earning 12.5% on Smartbuy using HDFC Millenia. There is nothing new in this but many of us are missing higher CB on low spend.

We all know that Millennia DC has max. cap of Rs.400 as 5% cashback so we mostly use it for 16000 CC Payment or some use it for wallet load of 40K.

The thing I analyzed today was, my friend in Dec- 2023 used his Millennia DC on smartbuy for Rs.5000 for flipkart voucher only and nowhere else. When I checked his rewards, it were 5% smartbuy cashback offer (upto Rs.1000/month) for HDFC cards i.e Rs.250 were credited in April 2024, 5% Millennia DC specific for txn on Smartbuy/Payzapp i.e as per TnC and also 2.5% as online usage. Total 375 was credited to him. Max. is 400.

With Millennia CC it was confirmed since years that smartbuy txns were giving 5% cashback + 1% online spend so total 6% but same is with Millennia DC also.

So next time when you buy A gift card from smartbuy worth Rs. 5340 will fetch you- Rs.267+133.50 = Rs. 400 (50 paisa 😆 will not be given as 400 is max limit). The smartbuy cashback of 5340*5/100= 267 will be extra and come under 1000 cashback category.

Main point missed was the 5% debit card specific cashback and 2.5% online and 1% offline/wallet load, all have a cumulative limit of max. 400. So most of us missed this thing as were spending more than 8000-16000 every month.

@desiviru I just bought apay vouchers worth 5400, will see if I get 400 in Oct. The transaction showed “Gyftr via Smartbuy” as well.

Yes you will get it. 5% smartbuy cb will come in 45-60 days under promotional points (valid for 90 days from date of credit), millennia specific 5%+2.5% will come by Oct 31.

Update: Got the 5% promotional cash back of Rs 270 credited🥳. Others who had done transaction around this time check your accounts.

You have bought Apay Wallet Voucher or Shopping Voucher?
Also, AFAIK Smartbuy redirects you to Gyftr to select the Voucher and payment. So, they are considering it in 12.5% still?

Gyftr has dedicated page and address for hdfc customers where it can track HDFC Card customers easily. https://www.gyftr.com/instantvouchers is only for HDFC card/Payzapp customers to get cashback. Other bank card holders can use but will get tension only not cashback and will curse themselves as to why they didn't went to gyftr curated page for their bank. 🙂

Just wait. They don't give in one go. Some people got a day before it reflected in mine account. They do in batches. By 23 everyone will get it for eligible txns.

Fir woh Platinum DC walo ko CB de ke toh marr hi gaya hoga, every alternate day. Process is automatic and no manual intervention invloved. At end of every month all cumulative txns with Millennia DC is calculated and accorgingly provided cashback which is posted in 4th month. I really want them to reduce the time and keep it between 1-3 of next month like Millennia CC if they can't provide instant. But due to reversals and refunds they have kept a long time with this card.

Platinum and millenia ka to instant and delayed gratification vala hisab hai. 1% aaj chahiye ya 2.5% 90 days baad.

so, with Platinum DC, do we still get 1%? just not for cc bill payments, correct?

I did not receive any cashback in millennia dc for 13600 spend on HDFC Billpay (June Month).

Only received 60 cashpoints for ₹2400 transaction done on SBI Unipay. 😅

Are they implementing the new rule of not giving cashback on HDFC Billpay retrospectively?

Edit: My mistake I checked the statement I think I mistakenly paid via account instead of debit card. 🤦‍♂️
