Yes they are asking me to provide payment receipts for bill payments done on mobikwik
Do one thing- pay a small electricity bill of your house or get a screenshot from internet than change the transaction values and transaction id to the cc bill payment one. They don't have any way to check whether it was a utilities payment or cc payment. They are totally dependent on your receipt.

It has been there since 27th August. But it depends on the merchant's category code. MobiKwik wasn't using excluded MCC.

So people were getting points till 10th September after which MobiKwik changed its MCC to wallet. Earlier it was using Utility MCC.
I have got points till 11 September . Uske baad 76k bill payment from IDFC DC and 24k payment from HDFC Platinum DC hasn't earned me any points . Minimum Rs 1000 ka nuksan !!
 
You should've waited for PayU bug and paid CC bill via CC itself lol. Apay/Millenia se 1% milta or SBI Cashback se 5%.
Apna SBI CB max out kar liya , friend se bhi 44k ka kar liya . Baaki 56k ka karta , toh friend bola ki meeting ke baad call kar. And meeting ke baad bug patched , MCC codes changed !! SBI CB in total gave Rs 7200. I was late to the party , I guess !!

There are chances that these might be nullified in points or card account monitored/frozen, as compared to the normal dc payments. Whoever did it so far, fine, but all we wanted was the dc rewards to continue :(

I had my doubts that's why I paid to only to other bank cards via SBI CB CC , unlike some peeps who paid from the same card to the same card !
