That's great, even I have Salary account since i work in Hsbc Software, but the posting time is too much to check if we get the cashback or not via SBI unipay.
It worked for me once upon a time when cred gave me a option for a DC since the bill amount was more than 1 lakh.
But since even HSBC recently excluded a lot of categories I assume cred will not work anymore but SBI unipay should.
Do let me know if you get the 5% cashback via the sbi unipay or some other route, you paid via airtel thanks app right ?
Do you know if there is an upper limit on the cashback ? AFAIK there is no upper capping.

Yes, i paid via airtel app. The merchant name in hsbc sms shows as ‘Bharti Airtel Ltd’. There is no limit on cashback. When I asked HSBC phone banking agent, she said it will fetch 5% cashback looking at the name of the merchant but still asked me to wait and check.

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.

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.

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.

so for using virtual rupay dc on sbi unipay, we need to select other bank debit card or sbi debit card ?
I guess you or someone else mentioned that if we need to use virtual dc then we need to select other bank debit card on the sbi uni pay payment page
