In the updated app, I am not able to see debit card reward point anywhere.. any idea where to see?
Another question.. does IDFC Select debit card gives reward points on cred app?
Sometimes it happens that you don't see the rewards points section, just restart the app a couple of times and you'll see it
 
When were 25th points credited?
i have made 4 payments on 24th and 25th - 4595, 1800, 471(got), 200(got), out of which I received base and bonus points but not for other 2. Will need to check today, since bank during weekends does the scheduled maintainence when the IT batch jobs that process these kind of entries are paused. Mostly today by evening, it must reflect is my understanding, as similar scenario happened last weekend as well

i got the RPs for all payments made on 24th and 25th CC payments using both paytm and mobikwik, so no issues and the delay was on account of weekends

please reach out at banker@idfcfirstbank.com or call on 1800 10 888. Since i opened 2 years back, I did get any welcome RPs.
 
I have to pay credit card bill of 145000 today. From where it will fetch reward for idfc dc.
you need to pay using your debit card using either Paytm or Mobikwik app credit card payment option. Not able to understand what you meant by "from where it will fetch reward for idfc DC" do you mean from when. if yes any payments done from 14th July this reward program is rolled out
