Oops! Just did a bit of searching over the community and found this below thread. :)

Just wanted to add something since that thread is no longer relevant. Mobikwik no longer awards points if you use an EDC card. It's better to go for the RBL Signature+ card; otherwise, after obtaining an EDC card, you may encounter more trouble due to its numerous restrictions. Your next post or thread might be about how to make the most of the EDC card. 🤣

Yes, I am already enjoying the perks from SPDC & Millennia so far and so I was inquisitive about EDC when it was mentioned in one of the posts.

Ever since the Mobikwik drama unfolded last Thursday, it seems like the Utils MCC has taken a beating from everywhere and is getting devoid of rewards. :cry:

That's why i never recommended anyone to apply RBL enterprise debit card.

RBL Signature+ Debit card is best card ever, multiple options available. No restriction, also live your life peacefully.
 
I have received all kinds of rewards from First Wealth Debit card-
1st bill payment from within thier idfc bank app (no minimum amount. I think even if u pay 100rs bill, you will still get 250 points. I paid 377 rupee bill and got 250 points.)
Got regular rewards for normal transactions
Got 8K rewards for first transaction from debit card.
I got these things for all 3 First wealth debit card in my family.
Have you received RPs for transactions made after 11 September ?
 
Idfc ke chakkar me hdfc platinum ki bhi le li hamne.. ab mobi utility nahi raha? Keep exploring new utility gateway. 😶‍🌫️
Hdfc platinum dc holders use HDFC billpay portal for credit card bill payment and get 1% cb upto 750. Your transaction count under Utility bill pay.

If you got any HDFC DC spend based offer then use there to complete your dc spend based offer too because transaction count under Utility not credit card bill pay.
