Mine is true 0 MAB..
Just read the thread I mentioned above and then post any queries..
Until then no questions will be entertained…

PS: Do you guys (doctors) entertain many follow up questions without first following your prescription
??? 😉

These days every patient thinks he Is a doctor 😷 and gives answers to 😷 Instead of questions with their WhatsApp skill
 
  • Hehe
Reactions: SSV
When I opened, mine was IDFC Vishesh savings account (5K MAB, rural only but opened as exception for me because the sales manager was too eager to please me). Now upgraded to Wealth. So if it gets downgraded, will only have to maintain 5K. 🙂
 
Something is weird with this idfc RP's .
I made payments of 29999 and 19999 on park+ for CC payment and 100rs CC payment on snapay app .

They credited the RPs only for 100rs transaction only .

They ignored that big payments .

Can anyone check there RP statement and confirm is this happened for all ?
 
May be idfc smoked some W*e*

Because they credited points for only transactions made on 3rd and 4th of the month and they skipped 1st and 2nd date transactions of this month .

Please confirm is this true or not .
 
For me IDFC debit card stopped giving rewards for Park+ transactions (merchant was shown as Parkplus IO).

Last month it was random for getting rewards on Park+. But for the two transactions so far, no reward points were credited.

Snapay is giving rewards but only 2k/month is limit for DC payments. Now testing on SBI unipay.

Are there any other remaining platforms for CC billpay where IDFC DC is giving rewards?

Can't say for certain but if u got rp on small amount.& Some dates rp are not yet credited you will get the points ..

Idfc sucks but yet they will give you
 
Dont raise complaint - if you raise any complaints regularly regarding to RPs then they will start scrutinize your entire RP statment unnecessarily and may ask proper validation regarding transactions !
My rewards account is blocked and they asked me questions about transactions. I had a long call with branch manager and all the questions asked were silly like why are you using park+ a lot, what is the purpose etc.

I have written to nodal and most probably would redeem rewards and close my entire wealth relationship with idfc. These guys need a lesson, one of the worst banks, their reward system is messed up.
