Their systematic reward calculation and credit of points system is a mess. But when you complain, they do the proper calculation and do manual adjustment.
 
Late to the party, but If I understand it correctly, idfc wealth will give 0.66% (4/150 points) return till 50K monthly spends and 2.5% (10/100 points) beyond 50K. And credit card payments via SBI unipay (4900 mcc) is not excluded here.

For redemption, cash is not available, but Amazon pay voucher is there. And 118 redemption charges.

Is this right?

Yes . . .
 
IDFC First Bank Wealth Debit Card-
Online- 0.67%
Offline- 0.50%
10X category- 2.5%
Incremental spends above Rs. 50,000: Online- 2.5%; Offline- 2.5%

If we compare the above calculation with Indusind Signature Debit Card where we get around 0.93% real cashback (not just reward rate percentage) on CC bill payment via debit card, is it correct to say that IDFC Wealth debit card is inferior with just 2.5/4 = 0.63% real cashback considering each point is 0.25 paise.

0.93% (Indusind) vs 0.63% (IDFC)

Any fault with my calculation?

I really need to clear this confusion in my head where I get confused which card to use for CC bill payment.
 
I guess use IndusIND if you bills are generally below 50K per month. And use IDFC if you have big expenses.

I used to use Axis Burgundy DC before its devaluation, used to get 1% miles ~ 2% value in Accor

Here 2.5 is real return in form of vouchers, flights etc.

This calculation is incorrect.
It's 10rp per ₹100 spend above 50k.
1rp= 0.25
So actual reward in rupee terms is ₹2.5 (10/4) per ₹100 spend
