Hi Team,
I'm one of those guys who hate to take the wallet/ Phone everywhere and was looking for a sticker based DC which i can stick to my key chain. Got info on the firstap thing by IDFCFB. Applied and bought it.
Looks great and works great, Stuck to my Keyfob. Only thing is that it is a bit hard to make the shops believe that it is not sorcery.

I am already having Wealth debit card. Can you think of any benefit by getting this First Tap card for me? I don't need a tap and pay card as I have NFC in phone.

I'm mainly interested in CC bill payment using DC. Like if there is any platform which gives RP for CC bill payment, but people are not using it as it is chargeable for other DC. But this card being Rupay might not incur transaction fees in those apps and get decent rewards. Is there any such niche that I should know about? Otherwise no use for me getting this card
By the Way Canara Setu is still eligible for all IDFC DC including IDFC Wealth debit card.

Only 2 month left for 20% offer right?
 
Yeah that’s correct but we are speculating that as of now? Right? The offer may change like last time as well right?
The offer has been running since September 2019.

On the first Friday of September 2019, people were confident that the offer would end.

That hasn’t happened till now, and only minor changes were made regarding wallet to recharges/utility bill payments because logically, people were directly transferring money to banks.

Also, the max amount for the offer is covered by Amazon. As long as Amazon doesn’t run out of funds, the offer will continue.

That’s correct but again it’s the year of devaluations 😔
 
Yes I knew this. I was thinking on lines of alternative if Setu became dead 😂

Also bill payment through PhonePe has added advantage that I can pay my BoB Onecard bill 🙏 so anyways I will apply for First Tap. Thanks a lot for the guidance
