Offer Fulfilled! IDFC First Rewards' best redemption options?

[Anindya98]

I have accumulated 20000 RPs in the IDFC First rewards portal by next month I will be able to redeem it. What are the best possible options for redemption?
I am only interested in e-gift card/voucher category not interested in buying any products.
I am thinking of converting it to 5000 Amazon Pay GV net profit of 4882 after 118 redemption fees.
Also, on my other 2 family accounts, I have 6000+ each account.


Any more Suggestions will be appreciated

Reliance Smart and Reliance Smart Point and Jio Mart all are different. The store in image will accept Reliance Smart voucher only and not even Smart Point. I found that both codes have different Alphanumerical values.

I actually redeemed the Reliance Smart Point voucher and it worked. It was a Reliance Mall though. Something like the one in the picture but not the exact one. In the past I have also used Reliance Smart superstore vouchers at this place and they also worked. I bought them from Amex Gyftr.

Anyone received IDFC pts for Unipay for txn between Dec 20 - Dec 24th? Surprisingly got for Rs.5000 txn done via Setu but Rs.157500 done via Unipay in 5 txns are all pending.

So the POS machine at this store is programmed to accept both codes but at my place it was not so and I myself saw error on machine at counter and even matched the code I shared. The smart point store was few blocks away so used it there.

These days I mostly buy Jiomart voucher using Millennia CC from smartbuy at 6% and use it on App/website. But 99% time they always send order with missing items.

Somehow reluctant to use it cuz I have HSBC Live and I just use it for 10%.

IDFC credits within 15 days. Mostly on 13-15th day except for some transactions.

Will Apay voucher return to IDFC FIRST Rewards? Has this happened before? This is the first time I am experiencing this.

Why can't you guys be patient for 15 days? 🤭

We are not impatient. We post only to confirm whether for so and so dates anyone got pts as normally they credit in 3-4 working days but not a guarantee. But yes TAT is 14 working days max. I posted because I did txn after 2-3 months with IDFC DC so as to confirm whether Unipay still giving it.

The Internet Banking billpay pts came within 2 days to me and also Sep txns were rewarded within 3-4 days although pts not available for redemption till 14th date of txn. So I thought maybe with 1.75L txns I have done a blunder without confirming this time. But later came to know nobody getting pts since Dec 21. 🤣 If anyone had got it, I would have shoot mail. Now will wait till Jan 10 patiently.

Points have not been received for the transaction made on Airtel Thanks after December 22nd.

I have received points for 75% Unipay transactions on the 14th day mostly. Only for some txns, points are given in 2-3 days. I got points for 31st Dec Unipay transactions on 1st Jan itself. However, 29th ones are pending. Don't worry.

However, if amazon pay gift vouchers are not coming back, IDFC reward program is kind of a huge downgrade for me, could've earned better elsewhere.

I received pts of 21st dec. Nice..!!
