You can get rewards for dc you receive with both 10k and 25k mab. Just different variants of visa. Atleast for now I have 10k mab account but unfortunately has been upgraded.
 
I have upcoming cc bill payment of 2.1 lakhs, and I have visa signature dc, will i get reward points (2%) as mentioned above 20k.
Tried a payment of 150/- yesterday waiting for points to reflect...
 
Tried payment using idfc visa signature debit card:
1st payment 20k
2nd payment 7.5 k
3rd payment OTP verification failed and debit card disappeared from the app 🥲
Any ideas?
Yes my debit card also got blocked and they put debit freeze on the account too. Call the customer care. Debit card will get unblocked within 15mins and debit freeze will be removed by the end of the day. I think they are doing this for online opened accounts for first time only when we do more than one transaction on first day

Actually alot of banks do it when dc is used for the 1st time after long time.
 
I need help,

I have IDFC Visa Platinum Card on account MAB 25k, I made some transactions 3-4 days on Paytm and Mobilkwik but the reward points not reflecting on the portal, point balance is showing zero.

I interacted with the customer care support team over call and they are asking what type of reward point you are talking. Did any of our employee promised about this rewards while account opening. And later on he said if you would be eligible for any reward , it will be credited within 7 days ..

Did multiple transactions on 21/08 and got the points on 22/08 but the points don't match with the calculations🤔
Can anyone send me the exact value or reward rate at which we earn points
 
I've still not got the points. This was the first usage for me. Reward points don't need to be activated before usage anywhere right?
An I'm looking in the 3 bars on top left > First Rewards. That's the correct place right?
