Has this reward system gone live or still in pipeline?

I hold IDFC Signature debit card and recently paid my CC bills through it by cheq but did not receive any rewards.
Then I contacted my home branch, they suggested that in order to be a part of this reward system you will have to close your IDFC Signature DC and get a IDFC Visa Platinum DC (which is actually a downgraded version) by calling Customer care support.
I then made a call to customer support and spoke to their escalation team for better insights and they said that the reward system has not gone live yet and they don't have any communication that when it will be effective.

Anyone if receiving rewards on their IDFC DC spends then please update here as I really don't want to miss out on those. TIA!

Program hasn't yet started. Only welcome points have been credited as of now.

I'd similar experience with customer care
basically nobody in a customer facing role in the bank has any idea regarding debit card rewards portal situation
 
They denied my request for 8000 points even I hold wealth account saying that no where it is mentioned on their website. Can anyone share proof of the reward point structure.

Has anyone been able to receive points on further transactions other than the welcome points? I did receive welcome 8000 points but no more points post that.

Also I couldn't find any reward points information on their website. From where did we get above information? Or has it been removed recently from the website.
 
Waiting for a positive feedback from someone that Cust Care made the 8000 reward points delivered for IDFC First Wealth DC.

IDFC CustC is so dull 😭
 
I just logged in and checked, had 4000 pts. Redeemed for 1K amazon pay voucher. I think it's the welcome bonus for select debit card. I got upgraded to select last month. There is no history of points. Will have to wait and check the points for transactions. Will update here if i get any.

You called and upgraded to select debit card or did they send automatically ? Did you have 3L+ net relation with them ?

You have to first get your account upgraded to select through your RM or branch manager and they send the DC automatically. I have a salary account with them. Sal ~2L
 
I think this went live. Did anyone get any official communication from the bank?

The beta banner is gone. It also says only transactions done post 14 July are eligible for rewards. Haven't tried this though.

Do you know if IDFC Classic is eligible for rewards?
