Ye alindam ne SBI UNIPAY pe bhi video daldi..gya ab SBI UNIPAY bhi...isko massreport kro sb 😒 🤣
I Pray this should remain there always. Only portal with Still courage to have the debit card payment option. Even Reliance gave up after certain time. They were terrified by TF armies looting DCs.

Lets all hope and block such videos which can make things worse for all public.

Exactly and by the way, IDFC has already put in restriction on the redemptions you can do in a day. Please try for yourself. You cannot redeem beyond certain points in a day and I am sure they have triggers in place to know if such mass redemptions are happening and then will swiftly block or devalue like last time.

How many redemptions are allowed?

He copy pasted the ZIngoy trick that Abhishek posted yesterday just now. So no vouchers on Zingoy for 250 also. Only 100 and 50 available.

But 1 thing, banks are terrified to launch limitless any feature or promotion. Everywhere capping are put in place. Possible we are the only country in the world where banks are so much focussed on promotions.

Other parts of the world, if banks have given any reward or made wrong transactions, it is never reversed. The customer benefits from the wrong doings of bank. The banks rather take lessons to improve their processes.

But here you see just because of one video, you see Reliance like company removing the debit card option altogether.

Just curious, do you have any first hand experience in this ?

Yes, have seen Amex Cobalt, Platinum cards and their offerings in Canada. Things are seamless and companies seems not so little hearted.

These two fellows alindam and abisek are in a symbiotic relationship. They feed on each other's tricks
 
Today I did 2 transactions by DC on sbi unipay successfully. It started declining after that. And checked app-DC simply disappeared from there. On calling customer care they say it is blocked for suspicious activity!! No call nothing even to check transactions which normally most bank's do, simply blocked card!!

It'll be unblocked automatically in 2-3 hours. Happens to me every now and then.
