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

For mc world and visa signature each : Cashback limit is Rs 1050 per month on spends of 112k. Max 3000 reward points at 35 paise.
*Visa Platinum card has been devalued w.e.f November, so removed from above.

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/setu website (https://billpe.setu.co/1449602066912642206) , 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.

This is the old MCC code that used to get before HDFC put the axe

This doesn't work anymore. HDFC has changed the all the banks merchant to CCBBPSNO, which is not a utility merchant. Therefore, you will not get points on CC bills paid through HDFC billpay.

@sm9811911 bro, scrap that HDFC billpay portal whenever you update the first post. The information is wrong and could led to blame game in future.

Indusind ke liye sab mei chance hai na RPs miss hone ka? Mere pichle month ke 900 RPs nhi aaye

Indus reward points are hit or miss. Sometimes someone gets point on some website. Someone else may not get points spending on the same website same day with same dc. That's all.

do you pay all the bill at once or bit by bit? my bill is roughly 2L and wanted to know if I get rewards for full payment

Thread 'Transaction failure on SBI Unipay, JIO and PAYTM when using IDFC Platinum Plus DC'

Aug 26, 2024

Hello people,

I have an issue which I cannot find mentioned anywhere in any thread here...

I opened a IDFC Salary account & received a Platinum Plus DC 3 days back hoping that I will get RP's on CC bill payment.

So, I tried to pay my IndusInd bank's CC bill using it on SBI Unipay, JIO and PAYTM but everywhere it is failing. The OTP page never gets open and I get only FAILURE message.

I then went to MANAGE the Online transaction amount for this DC in app and tried all apps again to pay CC bill, still FAILED.

So, I tried on Swiggy and payment was successful. So, DC is working fine, but...

Try on SBI without login.
