Infinia Instant discount & Cashback transactions will not provide RPs

[jar89]

Just found this Flipkart BBD sale when I was trying to buy an AC using Infinia to avail 2000 Rs instant discount. Price was 39 K and the instant discount would reduce that to 37 K.
Is this something that is newly introduced ? I have received RPs on earlier instances even when I availed instant discount.

Its like 37000/150 = 246*5 points lost 🙁 and If I choose to use 10000 using Flipkart smartbuy voucher and pay the rest using Infinia, I think it will be a better deal.
Flipkart 10000 GV is gonna give me 10000/150 =66*5*5 = 1650 and for the remaining that I pay with the card I will get nothing.

Any food for thoughts? Suggestions.

Thx

So, finally, other banks have started following SBI's path. HDFC is the second bank after SBI.

Purchases eligible for Instant Discount/ Cashback on HDFC Bank Credit Card will not qualify for Reward Points. The same will be reversed within 120 days of end of cashback posting month or end of offer month for Instant discount offers.

Note: Please do not redeem your credit card points. The end is near.
