For SBI unipay not working only failure error I'm doing 20k transaction below 10k wil go through
It's your individual account algorithm
I have did 70-80k in a go

Do it after few days
In morning times
Don't do same value transaction repeatedly
Their algorithm will detect it as normal
 
I had IDFC 25k account with Normal DC, on which I earned 8k points in June (max limit per month)!!

Now, my account has been upgraded to Select, and I was issued new Select DC in June month itself!!

So, can I earn further points (upto 30k) using Select DC, starting June month itself or…..will it start next month, since I’ve already earned max points in June for normal DC!!!

Has anyone who has upgraded, faced similar situation??

I never crossed the maximum reward points in my 25K DC/month. This month I only spent 6K before getting my Select DC. As I already knew the account would be converted this month, I waited for the select DC to earn more reward points. Did all the transactions using the virtual DC still the rewards have not been credited but it's showing First Select in the Rewards portal also.
 
Guys, I did transaction on unipay and it got failed and money has been deducted as well. Didn't received any failed tran ID as well. How much time it will take Unipay to refund ?
 
No, but as this is a new DC you will earn rewards. Kindly update if you do not receive any reward this month.
Yes sure I will...but meanwhile I new roadblock has come. As per IDFC guy, my account has been up upgraded to Select two days back, and he sent his screen photos showing Select badge on my account.
But I am not able to see any changes at my end...no select badge on the app or in the statement, still old DC showing in the app !!

Usually how many days it take for upgrade to reflect in app or statement or new DC to generate??
