The post about merging DC points was inaccurate and easily verifiable, thus made sense to remove it.
But regarding re-issuance of ESP, there are still some grey areas like re-issuing in mycards, getting insta DC kits from branch and applying using card code from branch.
Though they've removed the direct 'upgrade' option, doesn't mean people have absolutely no options left.
Also regarding this, nobody has time to go through these tedious processes to prove a point to you.
And i don't believe anybody would even try until we have a platform that gives 1% on ESP.
For now, just let it be in the grave. If a suitable bill payment platform arises, people will figure out the ways to get it if it's possible by then.
