Having trouble understanding this reward system.

i spent 74893 through cred with my idfc visa signature debit card on 1st aug

in first rewards, the RP activity is shown as below:
998.57 RP for spending 74893.
3293.58 bonus RP for spending 74893.

Now the first line of 998.57 RP is clear (2 RP per 150 rs spent)
But what is the calculation for 3293.58 bonus RP?

74893-20000=54893

On that u got 9x points
That's 3293.58
 
I cannot view the reward slide in the mobile app. Is this the same experience you are encountering?
 
For 10x, there are some merchants like Flipkart, AJio,M&S etc..
So if you spend on these merchants, you will get 10X points from the start itself irrespective of Incremental spends.
Note: for IDFC 10X means 10 points per 150 rupees

Eg: If you spend Rs.1500 in Flipkart with any debit card, you will get 100 points(1.67%).

For incremental 10X,

Online( CC Payment)

After 20K - 1.84%

Eg: For 2 Lakh, total cashback Rs.3378

Select
Till 1L - 0.50%
After 1L - 2%
Eg: For 2 Lakh, total cashback Rs.2500

Wealth
Till 1.5L -0.67%
After 1.5L - 2.17%
Eg: For 2 Lakh, total cashback Rs.2090

Eg: For 2 Lakh, total cashback Rs.2000
