This is the current status of my payments with IDFC Select DC and Firstap Rupay DC. Hopefully the points would get credited soon. Today marks the 12th working day since the Feb 18th transaction. Anyway waiting patiently.

I have not received points for entire month of February. Actually I had taken first tap in January month end and did all transactions on it. From past experience new debit card points do not get credited for couple of months as if it is not even configured in system. When I got select upgraded to wealth, for 2months I had to keep asking everytime for rewards with customer service team. Later it became normal. This time just waiting for till March end hoping it will get cleared automatically by month end.

@Indrajeet100 That's interesting, in my case, many of the transactions without points credited are on recently issued debit cards (First Tap, Select DC), ie just a day after it got delivered.

If I don't receive the points in 14 working days, will open a ticket with IDFC.

Actually it is but there are 9-10 transactions , each time I have to check 14 working days raise request. Better will wait till month end. If not credited by then, will raise a single request for entire month's transactions. Waise bhi there are plenty of points which currently don't have much use. Let it became larger, will then book flights for free for next vacation.

Your debit card is not linked to the rewards portal. Happens to new cards sometimes. Call them and ask if your card is linked properly, else ask them to do it.

If I use my Firstap Rupay DC to make Education payment on college website, will I be getting any points?

Thread 'Which Debit Card to use for Credit Card Bill Payment in February & March 2025'

Feb 26, 2025

Which Debit card use for Credit Card bill payment in Feb & March 2025:

1) IDFC Debit cards: All IDFC account holder apply 2nd debit card - Add-on IDFC Firstap Sticker RuPay Platinum Debit Card.

You will get same reward points and 10x reward points benefit as per your account variant - Normal/General, Select, Wealth and Private account.

Apply 2nd IDFC Debit card ( primary visa/mastercard card + this add-on RuPay card both will coexist) from IDFC app, under your debit card section.

Is it possible to contact the Rewards team by email? Or is it possible only over the phone by asking to be transferred to the rewards team?

Would raising the issue with the RM help in anyway?

Only via phone call. The tedious way.
