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

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

Thanks for confirming. I was coming here to post the same.

I have got for Dec 21/22/23. Canara Setu txn was already credited in 3 days. That txn messed with my mind as to why Unipay ones not given.

Now Dec 24 and Dec 26th left only.

 

[darkjediknight]

Got all my points for December. Last transaction I did was on 20th.

Wait for 1-2 days by the end of the week I will update the thread with relevant options to opt for. I am currently working on it to find the best possible options other than Amazon & Flipkart GVs.

Personally I find the Euphoria Jewellers Silver coin and Reliance Smart Vouchers to be of decent value.

I found flight tickets to be my saviour. Reward portal has the same rates as OTAs and Airlines. I booked a few domestic and int flights for friends and redeemed most of the points.

It's a huge downgrade if no amazon pay vouchers....

I have redeemed for Decathlon vouchers as no Amazon or Flipkart voucher coming.

Just out of curiosity why store not recommended at all ?
I saw perfumes that were cheaper on store than on Amazon
Eg - Jaguar 100ml on store was 1980 whereas on Amazon was 2665.

Similarly many more items were cheaper here compared to Amazon.

Most of the time Store Prices don't make any sense, you have to pay shipping charges, and in case of any difficulty you don't have proper customer support to reach out.

Generally, I don't see that much of a difference and after-sale service is also a concern for me. In case of any defects or returns.

I did not receive points for unipay transactions done on 26th and 27th Dec. Waiting for TAT to be over.

Also, I found that we cannot redeem multiple brand vouchers in one go. So that's mean multiple reward redemption fee charges. :/

I have about 15,000 reward points in my IDFC FIRST Rewards account. Last year, I heard that some people's high reward point balances were reversed. Is it safe to keep these points?

They had pts worth in lakhs.

I think it's safe, mere pass bhi hai, not able to redeem because of unavailability of needed Voucher.
