Didn't receive any points from 29 th aug .
Created accnt for debit card purpose only .
If they are not crediting points I will have to close the account .
 
Same here. Stopped getting points from Aug 23.
Hav they put a limit of 10k rewards per year or something?
 
also i noticed they have added Credit Card payments and wallet loads as not eligible for rewards in their first rewards policy.
Is it over!

And people claim they've received rps for txns post 28th on mobikwik. It's just a hit and miss now. So keep fingers crossed and keep making cc bill payments.
 
I have got points for CC payments made on 31st, reflected on rewards view on saturday, but there was problem in idfc app yesterday "try again later" showing in rewards page. Today it is ok, I am waiting for small payments done on 1st, 2nd and 3rd and usually on weekends the app does not work properly and RPs getting reflected only on monday evening. So we need to wait and then see and do transactions till thursday and then repeat the same approach. I tried CC payments through Paytm and Phonepe on 27th Aug using DC card, but received no points.

i did small CC bill transaction on 27th 29th 30th 31st and 1st on paytm, mobikwik and different CC bill payment platforms with DC but i did not receive a single RP till now. Thinking to look for other payments modes, No more IDFC DC transactions is fetching me RPs
