All 3 can be held together and free of charge with select or exclusive accounts. Use paytm or SBI Unipay for visa variants. Sbi unipay or Payzapp for mastercard variant.

Reward rate and dc fees depends on account type:
For wealth account: 0.67% rewards till 50k(online spends). 2.5% rewards post 50k. Rs.12.5k rewards max monthly. So, around Rs.5.36L transaction can be done.
For Select account: 0.5% rewards till 50k(online spends). 2.5% rewards post 50k. Rs.7.5k rewards max monthly. So, around Rs.3.4L transactions can be done.

8) Other dc: Sbi physical dc 0.25% on all except account to wallet/account to account. Jupiter (1% upto Rs150 on sbi unipay; 2% using upi for select accounts). Union bank signature 1% unlimited. Standard Chartered Infinite Priority 1.25% unlimited vouchers on wallet/utility etc.

Alternative to SBI unipay: ‘Airtel’ (2 merchant names, both work), Canara bbps (also called Canara Setu) website, Navi app. They only support bbps cc bill payment. These give 4900 (utility) mcc.

Ongoing issues
(1) For Non-BBPS CC billers (like Amex or SC), you cannot use SBI Unipay and most other apps. You can load Amazon wallet or payzapp wallet using debit cards which give points on Wallet load (like HDFC Millenia) and pay using the bill desk website. Alternatively, you can use cc issuer NEFT/UPI details as well.
Amex: https://www.americanexpress.com/in/...-statements-and-balance/making-a-payment.html
SC: https://www.sc.com/in/credit-cards/payment-option/

(2) HDFC Billpay service has changed it's MCC, so avoid using that. Use Unipay instead.
(3) Indus dc points are not regular, so will have to wait and still no guarantee that you will get the points or correct number of points.
(4): Some have reported idfc dc is blocked while account is active. You can complaint to idfc, it gets solved in 3-5 days.
(5) SBI Unipay does not allow to pay SBI CC bill when you are logged in for some users. So, dont login and you will be able to pay SBI CC bill.

What is unipay mcc

Tried just now (SBI) and it settled within seconds. I hope you are paying within billed amount not outstanding. If problem persists use other options.

Please Elaborate this

4900. Before elaboration could you tell bill generation date and amount left to pay?

 

[alpha2betaa]

None of the ways you mentioned work for amex currently. Use cred/Mobikwik. No points for Indus DCs

Thanks
But will CRED or MQ fetch RP on any of the 3 DC’s

What is CRED’s MCC for CC bill payment ?

Here 4 Millennia. Never had Platinum. Thing is I rarely used HDFC Billpay and it was only for ICICI Bill. Lets hope other keep working or it will be end of cb era via DC. But yet Millennia DC is good for Sbuy.

Earlier, it was easy to earn ₹750 on platinum DC. Simply pay ₹75000 to your SBI Card through HDFC Billpay, and the transaction will fail if the total outstanding is <75K.

The good thing was that the debited money used to be reversed in 2 working days, and they awarded rewards points even for a failed transaction.

Now that they have patched Billpay, failing transactions on Unipay/Setu is a gamble, as I had to chase Canara Bank/BBPS support for 10 days straight and received no help from them. There's no dedicated team for Canara Setu, and if your transaction fails, the bank won't help as you don't have a bank account with them. Chargeback through the source bank can take a sweet amount of time, and BBPS support is shitty as well. I had to raise a complaint with Canara Bank Headquarters and then get my refund in 2 working days.

As long as IDFC is giving points on DCs, Millennia is fine for me.

Sir hdfc millenia debit card se kya ab cashback nhi mil rha hai?
Pls confirm

 

[desiviru]

Sir hdfc millenia debit card se kya ab cashback nhi mil rha hai?

No one can confirm it as Millennia DC take 90-120 days after txn to process cashback. ut keep using it on Unipay/Jio/Setu. cashback aaye naa aaye bas DC usage rehni chahiye for 5 Lakh personal accidental insurance which will remain active.

P.S: I will claim accidental insurance tomorrow from HDFC for bringing such terms. Many people have lose their hopes and hearts in this accident.

 

[jeevanreddy58]

Any one got points for indus platinum or singnature dc cards done in August in unipay portal ?

 

[bigbyte]

Millennia is not for Direct CC Bills. It is for Wallet Loads

Load Amazon or Payzapp and Pay CC Bills via Wallet UPI

Millennia users are not affected even if 4900 is excluded in future

 

[shivamk]

Load Amazon or Payzapp and Pay CC Bills via Wallet UPI

Millennia users are not affected even if 4900 is excluded in future

The only difference will be 1% via wallet vs 2.5% via 4900

Imp note: SBI Unipay is working now for most of people, still try with small amount first. Paytm MCC can be different in some trx but mostly working for indus.

If you can, help me add/modify details. Trying to make it easier for people to find info.

can you explain 8th point again "8) Axis Liberty dc : Use upi to pay through any app or use dc through sbi unipay. For 60k spends in a calendar qtr, get 750 cashback. Bonus: spend 10k on gift edge/Amazon (incl voucher)/ FK during weekend and get 500Rs reward pm. Dc fees applies."

what do you mean upi? and does it provide cashback through unipay like HDFC dc?

If you have an axis liberty account, you get 750 voucher for spends of 60k in 3 months. All p2m transactions count. In the case of cc bills, if you pay cc bills using your axis bank upi, say from amazon, they are p2m transactions that count for the 750 voucher.

Now Just Request AU Politely to reverse the charges if any.

Also if Minimum Due was Paid already then no effect on CIBIL, otherwise CIBIL will take a negative hit.

On Unipay there is double successfull Screen, First One is Payment successfull and after that it redirects to second one that is for Bill Payment successfull/Failed status

Did you left the website at first screen only ?

Both screens showed successful, thats why I didn’t bothered.
