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.

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.

Failed first time for me in the last week. Error was transaction not attempted.
Then tried again on internet explorer and did so by writing the card number and name(pasted first time), went through.

Also try changing limits and enabling all type of transaction in card security settings

I also got a call yesterday and she share a random website(with near axis interface but url is different) to put my card details there for limit enhacement. She even knew my card last 4 digits and delivery date. She even made sure how much limit is available in my card and if online transactions were enabled or not.

Kahi na kahin se data leak hua hai

Wo toh thik h par jab maine axis customer care ko complain karri toh unhone bola ki cybercrime ko complain karu kyuki fraud abhi tak hua nhi h aur jab tak fraud hoga nhi wo complaint nhi le sakte. Maine unse pucha ki toh aap ye website tab tak chalne doge jab tak kuch 1000-2000 log scam nhi hojate. He said ki sir system me complaint ka option hi nhi h without fraud. Bda weird bank h axis. He even said ki sir card ka replacement lelo otherwise bank ki koi responsibility nhi hogi for next one month. Matlab mene hi complain kari aur ab ye mera hi matha kharre.

Most of you know the debit cards which are useful, but it’s difficult to keep track of which platforms to use, how to use because of devaluations/ limits.
I had written down current working methods for my personal use but thought of sharing with the community. Will appreciate any feedback. So here goes:

1) RBL signature plus dc: sbi unipay
1b) RBL Enterprise dc: sbi unipay
2) HDFC PLATINUM debit card: can be used on hdfc bill pay and sbi unipay
3)HDFC Millennia debit card: can be used to load Amazon/Mobikwik wallets for 1%. Can use hdfc bill pay or sbi unipay for 2.5%
4) indus visa signature, visa platinum and mastercard world : Use paytm and cred (Dreamplug Paytech merchant) for visa variants. Sbi unipay and Cheq(not working for most) for mastercard variant.
5) FI money ( infinity or salary variant) : pay 1.5k multiple times through cred using fi upi.
6) IDFC Debit cards: Pay cc bill using sbi unipay.
7) Axis Liberty dc : pay cc through sbi unipay for qtly voucher. Can use upi as well anywhere; no exclusions using upi. Bonus tip: Use axis gyftr portal / amazon to buy amazon gv from Liberty dc for weekend cashback.
8) Citi Priority on sbi unipay

SBI Unipay is working for most, some are reporting failures. Try with small amount first.

Update: Alternative to SBI unipay: ‘Airtel’ and ‘Sriram one’ app (but they only have bbps cc)

Update 2: P B R G and thomasjackson mentioned even Dhani Pay has utility MCC (so an alternative to SBI Unipay). Non-BBPS cc can be paid. But KYC required. (havent tried myself)

Update 3: Full details with calculations on rewards added here: https://www.technofino.in/community...-card-bill-from-debit-cards.25788/post-634404

Update 4: SBI dc rewards update from 1st May. Details here

Is INDIE VISA SIGNATURE DC also eligible for cashback??

You may get 0.5% cashback on sbi unipay. I haven't personally verified.

How much is the IDFC DC reward for CC bill on SBI UNIPAY?

 

[Piyush_Jaiswal]

How much is the IDFC DC reward for CC bill on SBI UNIPAY?

I assume you have normal idfc account.

0.33% for first 50k
1.66% after 50k upto 1.60 lakhs

If you do a total transaction of 1.60 lakhs, you will get 2000 rs (8000 point)

Reward rates and capping is higher for select and wealth.

I fear they would restrict utility mcc in near months, so opening a new account or upgrading is not worth it.

Its 0.33% for first 20k. Correct me if i am wrong.

 

[Piyush_Jaiswal]

It's 50k for base reward points for all variants.

Earlier it used to be 20k for normal variant. Now they have changed their terms.

 

[zaid_2913]

I received points for transactions on the 16th, but not for those on the 4th and 6th.
