5411 is Grocery MCC. How can it not be eligible?

That's how clueless there customer care is. Better just check the MCC with them. At least they are informing that

Spends beyond capping of 1000/statement for Dining, Food Delivery and Grocery category will yield 1.5% or no cashback at all after capping?

Never tried. Do let me know if you find the answer.

Based on other cards (cashback from other banks), ideally it should be no cashback after that. But, not 100% sure.

I think this should give 1.5% cb as there is no capping for 1.5%cb.

What did you buy and how much?

 

[Aditya12]

What did you buy and how much?

I did part payment for a camera. Paid 16k but using IDFC card which shows MCC. I don’t regret not using hsbc because I anyway exhaust 10k grocery quota each month but for some it can be a useful info.

Its only with idfc. You can see these details when you download the transaction receipt. For hsbc, you can check with the customer care. They will let you know the mcc

[Sumiit9100]

you can test while doing a transaction. Disable purchases and payment will fail. Then call customer care to check MCC
