I am trying to redeem 4000 points for 1000 amazon voucher but it is not letting me pay 100% via points. Any way to pay only via points?

Now that i look at it, looks like I got points for one failed transaction of 50k also 😂 So you are right, they are giving 10x only after 50k, no base points!
Yes, You got points for failed 50k transaction. So, you did total transaction of 2,00,200 and got 8000 points since it cap max cap of 8000.

To get exactly 8000 points, you have to spend 1,60,000
 
Guys don't try collecting points by failing trxns. My 2 account are blocked n no solution till now. Cc team clearly stated they won't unblock it. I can only get it reset to 0 but that wud mean loosing rp on my genuine trxns too :(

As I have checked in the first rewards portal it says 10x rewards for every 100rupees spent above 50000 for wealth which means 2.5% for offline as well as online categories above 50000, Am I missing something, please correct me if I am wrong
 
How Many Transactions U Failed ?

Whats The Amount ?

Whats Ur Account Variant ? Normal Or Select Or WEALTH ?
I did few first then after aprx 10-12 such trxn which were done with good time gaps the reward section went on hold, started showing errors on redemption. Then cc informed about being blocked. This was on wealth account. Tried on select too the result was same. I wud suggest don't transact even if ur transactions are failing genuinely and u have been collecting rp with genuine way. Cc won't hear you for them being genuine failed transaction and will block them within 10 15 transactions even if done in span of over 2 months. Can u imagine it!! 10 trxn in 2 freaking months and still blocked -_- now I have a 3rd account which I use very carefully, never transacting again after any failed trxn else genuine rp will also go -_- hopjng this doesn't happen again 🥲
