I am aware about this and even commented on his profile post yesterday, which is not available right now.

Later you have made another post and he even changed his location.

That's why, I have sarcastically commented by selecting his message and taking his previous name. 😂

You need to wait atleast for 14 days after making txn and then you can raise concern, if will still not sget credited.

Just Call CC say that particular txn refrence ID and amount, it will get credited after few days.

Is this your first time of doing txn and getting RPs?

Zoobie doobie 🥂
Timeline is 14 days or more in case of bigger transaction.
How much cumulative did u pay
 
For IDFC Debit card- Yes. For Other cards - No.
I read somewhere in this forum that IDFC dc reward points are credit in 2 days, so thought that was the timeline. Thanks for informing the correct timeline!


Less only - around 30k.
There is no timeline usually get credited in 2-4 days

But sometimes rp goes missing comes within a month


From day of transaction to 14th day u can't reddem points even if it got credited on day 2
 
I have the classic idfc dc. How to upgrade the dc to higher variants as I want to earn more than 8k points.
You have to enroll for HNI banking program.

There are 3 programs in idfc and you need to maintain required balance and then ask your branch to upgrade you.
Select- 3 lac MAB
wealth- 10 lac MAB
Private- 25lac MAB

Good thing is once you enroll in your respective HNI program then you can simply maintain MAB according to your savings account variant.

Is there's any non maintenance MAB charges in HNI programs? If so then they are 0 balance accounts?
For the upgrade how many months we have to maintain MAB to received upgrade offer?
