Just Learned that MCC you can also Ask transaction monitoring team, the confirmation call which comes after a BIG transaction.
Skip the IVR by not responding to it and Executive will pick the call, ask him the MCC before confirming tx. @VISHESH_BANSAL @jack333
So I emailed IDFC to confirm few Big CC Payment Transaction's MCC, Later after Confirming Eligible MCCs made new email mentioning all those Eligible Transactions, with there MCC reply Emailed Attached. W/o asking further Proof they Credited the Points. 🙂. But now FK Sale is over ;(
 
No idea whats the deal but i have made 6 payment in a row to same card by idfc dc.
Important thing was on payment page merchant name was acceylt solutions ( spell error) but when Notification form idfc came about Debit ..it was freecharge payment Tec122002 .

Which portal did you use for making those payments?
 
What are the categories that doesn’t earn reward points?
One of the top most frauds bank inspite I am original shareholder cum account holder all senior officer had forged clients signature even if we prove neither the chief compliance officer nor nodal officer prepare to hear this is the frauds
 
What I've seen is on utility mcc idfc are crediting points automatically for small transactions less than 1k within a day. For larger transactions we have to raise manual request after 15 days

For how many days you have analysed ? For large transactions? & did you received points yesterday or today?
