They were giving points as per standard card until 2 days ago. Things became worse when Select started showing up on Firstrewards profile. No bonus points upto 1L spends 🤡

Pehla bank aisa dekha jo relationship banking ko demotivate kr rha.
Actually if you ignore the first 20k for regular card then the rewards rate for regular cards is 1.83% that too unlimited. Thats freaking awesome for a debit card.
 
Can someone help me? - I have the wealth debit card, made my first transaction on 11th July - loaded paytm wallet for Rs 1,100. Got 7 points for that. But did not receive the welcome bonus points. At that time, there was no mention of 14th July start date.

Today, on website it says, if you ever did any debit card transaction before 14th July, you're not eligible for welcome bonus points.

Will I get the bonus points or not? Shall I try making another transaction of above Rs. 1,000?
