In HSBC I called and asked. Most of the customer service executive have good knowledge but if you experience someone is not helping you much then retry by reconnecting to another executive.

HSCB chat also available but like AMEX never know when they replied, so keep notification on.

Indian banks works only of we call and find right person.

IDCF providing in the transaction itself.
 
In Aug transactions ..

I observed ₹185 as "rewards credit"

and ₹565 as cashback from "Jul Statement"

but, I'm eligible for ₹750 total cashback which surprisingly they split into two categories.

Not sure what criteria they're following for "rewards credit" because it doesn't match any of my calculations but overall its matching.

So, don’t consider this "rewards credit" as extra cashback because this matches overall (or maybe they fixed it).

let me know anyone got higher than expected cashback.
