Did you raise complaint for 21? I did today.. they registered and told me they would check and do a manual credit.. said would take around 7 working days.
FK I had it in mind yesterday but called @18:01 so couldn't connect today forgot 🥲 now Monday...
 
Does monthly capping of 50000 includes manual points as well which were credited for last month?
Ideally they shouldn't be
because these points belongs to prior month And gets credited this month
No transaction date decides the capping of a particular month, not the date of points crediting
 
How does IDFC 10x rewards work for incremental spends? Suppose I initially paid 50k through my IDFC wealth dc and points are credited after 14 days. I paid extra 50k in between, how many total points will I get for this 1L cc payment?

Core rewards points for 50k and after that any spend done with ur debit card uh will get 10x!
 
i did cc bill payment on canara setu.
Transaction was showing as processing and after 3-4min of transaction, i got message saying transaction has been failed and refund will be initiated shortly.
I am bit worried since it is first time the transaction has failed on canara setu.

Anybody, who faced this, can you please confirm, in how many days refund will be initiated & credited to source a/c ? Do i need to raise a complaint on the portal?

Pls help
