I had IDFC select this month and earned some 20K points then upgraded to wealth card accumulated another 30K but after that all transactions were showing as zero points saying capping limit reached. Is it 50K for wealth and 30K for Select total 80K we can earn for the month right since both are different?
 
1. Has anyone's account actually been deducted for ₹118 fees for redeeming? Nothing taken from my account so far
2. If we don't get RPs for a certain txn, exactly where to raise complaint or escalate so they credit the missing RPs?

1. Wait upto 2 months
2. Call customer care

No 50k would be max as reward is on customer I'd level not account
Hence stored lifetime not with account

That should have not been the case !!!
I upgraded from Normal to Select in a month & earned 8k + 30k points in total.
Read my post here: https://www.technofino.in/community...edit-card-bill-payment-2024.26178/post-694362

Not sure, if it doesn't work the same way when upgrading from Select to Wealth !!

So it not based on account? I think both are different since Debit card itself deferent and it starts with zero when we move to next level.
 
Anyone has done CBDT transaction (advance tax) on IDFC wealth DC and got rewards?

I am getting SBI unipay points in 2 days but haven’t received CBDT transaction points since 15th
Where dod you get the option to pay via IDFC card at incometax site?
I can't see that option
