Can anyone pls confirm if they received the RP for 30th Nov 2024 in Idfc wealth?

As we can see, they are crediting points on regular basis for this month. However i have not received the RP for 30th Nov.
 
What are redemption option with IDFC RP for paying CC bills?
I am currently using Indusind Exclusive which gives 0.93% in cash, IDFC seems to give more returns but if amazon/flipkart not there then any other good option available ?
 
IDFC rewards system got my head spinning. I have been holding the Visa Platinum card for a couple of years but haven't used it much, until recently in August. They gave me no welcome rewards points after that transaction. On 30th November I made a single transaction of 1.6L to pay one CC bill using Unipay and they haven't disbursed the RP for that transaction yet.
Yesterday I again made two payments on Unipay amounting to 86k and today I can see they have credited the RPs for both transactions along with the welcome rewards 😄
Received RP for the transaction made on 30th Nov today. Patience is the key 😄

There are e-vouchers for websites like croma, MMT, myntra, swiggy, zomato and several other stores
 
I have idfc credit card bill to be paid coming next week. If I pay via unipay with idfc dc will I earn rp or not? As I heard that idfc cc bill payment will not rewarded but other bank yes

i used airtel on dec 13 got reward points on next day , on dec 17 paid another bill using unipay - yet to receive reward points , now i just seen in their terms and conditions that credit card payments not eligible for rewards points.

looks like they added this condition recently, paying another bill using airtel today will see do i get points or not!
