No Max 50K Points a month including everything.

Yes

You get the 8K bonus on your first DC transaction above 1K once as a Welcome Bonus. After that regular reward points. Don't get confused that every month they will give you 8K.
Yes I am saying same...u can get a max of 50k points only and that includes 8k bonus for the first month. So in order to max..u can spend around 4.57L to hit bulls eye for month 1
 
Has anyone received points for transactions on December 18th (IDFC)? My points for even November 30th are still pending. I believe I haven’t received any points since the recent upgrades. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

When was the last transaction you made for which you received points?
 
For first bill payment of the month we get 250 RP and this works for CC bill payment with savings account balance and not debit card. So, if the first ever transaction is a CC bill payment >= 1000 from wealth savings account, would one get 8000 + 250 RP?
And is this applicable to minor wealth debit card as well, because the welcome bonus is not mentioned in the minor debit card one pager?

Just to correct here, you get 250 rp's as long as you do bill payment from the app. It also gives an option to pay via credit card like Jio postpaid bill I did. And it doesn't matter if the bill is for 1000 or more, I did the bill payment of 350 and I got 250 rp's and I did the bill payment and selected credit card. not savings account. The only condition is bill payment via app, regardless it is thru savings or credit card.

I received for 16th, 17th & 21st Dec.
Call the CC and ask for manual credit for 30th Nov points.
