2) HDFC PLATINUM debit card: Pay using sbi unipay for 1% cashback upto Rs750 pm. No cashback for payment through mobikwik, Cred, paytm, Cheq. Fees 750 (waived for certain account categories).

3) HDFC Millennia debit card: Pay using sbi unipay to get 2.5% cashback or load wallet (Amazon(full kyc req) or mobikwik) and then pay cc bill using wallet balance to get 1% cashback. Total combined cashback monthly limit 400. Fees 500 (waived for certain account categories). Use Bill desk QR code to pay cc bill from amazon wallet.

4) Indusind exclusive or select debit cards (around ~0.9% cashback): There are 2 main cards : visa signature and Mastercard World. 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. Do note, these dc have incremental rewards, so if spend is 10k only <0.5% rewards.
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.

5) FI money ( infinity or salary variant): Pay using sbi unipay or using cred through FI Upi. Pay 1.5k multiple times. Get 2% cashback. Max cashback of Rs30 per tranx. Rs.100 per day, 500 per month.

6) IDFC Debit cards: Pay using sbi unipay.
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.
For basic account: 0.33% rewards till 50k(online spends). 1.67% rewards post 50k. Rs.2k rewards max monthly. So, around Rs.1.6L transactions can be done.

7) Axis Liberty dc: Pay using sbi unipay. For 60k spends in a calendar qtr, get 750 cashback. Bonus tip: spend 10k on gift edge/Amazon (incl gift voucher)/ FK during weekend and get 500Rs reward pm. Dc fees apply.

8) Axis Burgundy DC: Pay using Canara BBPS ("Retail CC" merchant name) for 1% Edge Rewards which is equal to 20paise for gift voucher redemption. Double rewards in the birthday month.

9) Other dc: Sbi physical dc 0.25% and SBI Virtual dc 0.50% 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) , Navi app. They only support bbps cc bill payment. Airtel gives 4900 (utility) mcc, same as SBI Unipay.

Canara bbps/setu website (https://billpe.setu.co/1449602066912642206) has 5311 MCC ("Retail CC" merchant name) for paying cc bills.

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.

Afaik there is no such option to view the break up of the reward points.
You get max 750 points and redeem as soon as you see them in your account. 🙂

ok thank you 🙂

 

[Anindya98]

I was charged on wealth "credit card".

In my case, IDFC Wow, Select, and Wealth CC redemption fees were revered with GST within 2 days. At the time of redemption account status IDFC First Select.

Is there a way I can get reward redemption waivered off?

No idea

any idea about HDFC platinum debit cards!!!

 

[VISHESH_BANSAL]

any idea about HDFC platinum debit cards!!!

Obviously not eligible.
1% is for Telecom and Utility only

any idea about HDFC platinum debit cards!!!

No as I don't have Platinum DC. Holding 4 Millennia DC (1 Self + 3 Family Members). As I said here earlier the people here will check and as departmental store MCC gives 1 cashpoint per 200 then reward rate will fall to 0.50% now even if you pay CC. Continue to pay it using Airtel Thanks or Unipay until someone confirms it whether 1% coming or 0.50%..

 

[zaid_2913]

For credit card payments merchant name showing as Retail CC, for water and electricity bills showing as CCAVENUE COM UTILITY.

Where? Which site?

 

[zaid_2913]

Where? Which site?

Canara setu website

 

[desiviru]

Obviously not eligible.

Yeah that's why I told him that if it comes it will be 0.50% only because of MCC. But those who are testing will tell by Wednesday or Thursday. A 100% clarity will be only after that. Abhi to jisney yeh 5311 bataya hai uski guarantee bhi koi nahi de raha.

Seems like the Big Bro SBI has told Canara to change MCC so that only Unipay has Monopoly. They couldn't convince pvt player Airtel so down the wicket of Setu. Don't know what JioFin is waiting for. Maybe they are looking others to end DC on CC and they will bring back to be the only player to provide it. 🤣

Not even 0.5% 😂

Mai setu use nhi karta warna khud check karleta Current MCC

 

[desiviru]

Not even 0.5% 😂

Yeah because 5311 is not part of Platinum eligible MCC list. But try karney mein kya jata hai. Every month I waste 1000-3000 payment on trying and sometimes even more.

 

[HumorSimpson]

So idfc DC, Millenia DC reward cc bill payments in this new canara setu?
