Incremental (10x) reward points applies on per Rs 100 (not Rs 150) for Select and above variant DC.
Please update the thread @TechnoFino @vaibhav111 .
Can anyone clarify how are these 10x points credited? Is it 10x+base rate for any amount above rs 50k (ofc upto the specified limits) or is it total 10x?
Also how much amount do we need to spend on various DCs in order to get full reward points?
For ex- How much amount do we need to spend on Wealth DC in order to get 50k reward points?

I got 45k points for two months and got my account blocked now. I have to work out badly to enable this. Nearest branch is 45km away. RM can’t help either.
 
Is anyone able to pay Yes Bank and IDFC First Bank credit card bills using SBI Unipay or Park+? I am not able to through any of those
 
And how are people redeeming their points here? Redeeming every now and then or waiting till you hit large enough points. If so, Are you not afraid of the recently incoming first reward block posts?
