Idfc ki netbanking active hone m kitna time lagta h account open karne ke baad?

When I entered my Mobile Number and Customer ID it says, Please input valid credentials.
If you done with app login and full kyc notification on email . It work asap .. if u are unable to still do it then it maybe a System error /website bug not a systematic error .
PON- Website and App works almost similar unlike hdfc where netbanking as lot of other features

Can someone help me with my confusion:

Yesterday, my account was upgraded to wealth. I activated the digital wealth debit card. This is a new account (just 1 month old). After activating the card, I added my card to dreamfolks which charged ₹2.

My question is: will this be counted as my first transaction and make me ineligible for the 8000 reward points?
What a big mistake I have done 🫣🤯

Is the rule that we will get 8000 points on our first evey transaction which is above ₹1000? What I mean is, if I do many more transactions right now, but whenever I do a transaction above ₹1000, then I'll get 8000 points and this 8000 points offer applies only when I do a transaction above 1000 for the first time.

I made it very confusing 😅

If something like this happens in the future just do a required amount transaction within some minutes and you will be fine. Btw time frame depnds on transaction settlement by the bank.
