Open wealth by 3-4 l . initial funding .
Else u are good with 10k debit card .. u aren't missing any sweet dreams
cool , its actually 25k account and DC and I requested for downgrade to 10k yesterday. I asked for zero balance and they told they dont have any such account
 
1. They can deny that cc bill payment is not eligible for rp
2. I have done few cc bill payment for my friends using my card
3. Few of the transactions got failed but I still got reward points for them

Please help me tackle this situation 🙏
Rp is subjective . If its come under utility it system who gives rp not individual.

Btw why do u need to make them look genuine ...
Account frozen ??
 
tell them you were paying utility bills that's it and show a few of your credit card bills
cant do anything else
Thanks bro. Zyada cool ban raha tha socha ki Amazon Pay 10gv dal denge toh ekbar mei hi saara rp redeem kar lunga ab jo hai woh bhi gaya 😂
Backend team ne achnak se dhappa kar diya
Last month tak redeem ho raha tha
A lesson for everyone to redeem the rp ASAP

They guy from reward portal team (Mr Bhupendra has raised a call back from my home branch) I just need to clarify them that transactions made using my dc were genuine and based on the bank’s feedback they will be blocking/unblocking my rp redemption!
The guy also told me that if the feedback is negative I can ask them to reset my rp to zero and I can start redeeming the rp in future which sounds absurd 💀

Go to branch talk to them show them .
You have to show bigger than you are .. rest they will go after you for availing more service.
Idfc employee are hungriest among all bank employee as their manager of new branch are kicking their ass

Idfc services are equal at every branch .

How ? Just lure them about car insurance renew 😄 or Even Fd Of lakh via them etc etc.

With personal repo with staff u can get it done.

Since u didn't do anything bad ..it should be smooth
 
thanks for giving me some confidence 🤝🏻
Bro my account is also on Total Freeze Status from the last 2 month and have raised to RBI Ombudsman after the branch deny to remove freeze.

But Luckily Rewards Points redemption was working fine and now in fear of it i have redeemed all rewards points in one go with multiple 1000 AGV.
Now i don't care they freeze it or not will close it and will try to reopen it with wealth account with initial funding Hope this works
