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.

Read that SBI DC is still giving.

Doubt that. Tried 2 wallet loading trx around 19th on Mobikwik. Did not get any rewards yet.
But cc bill payment may have utility mcc on mobikwik. (not sure)

Slide wallet load is not giving. I can confirm this. Did cc bill payment on Mobikwik yesterday. Will update in 2-3 days.
SBI DC gives reward points on CC bill pay in Mobikwik. Personally verified and utilizing. I usually pay <5k bills in MK for double dip.

No idea about Wallet loads since I don't load wallets using SBI DC.

That means Mobikwik is no longer tagging cc bill payments as wallet loads.. interesting.. will find out about mcc soon

Some have reported idfc dc is blocked while account is active. I am also facing the issue. Have complained to pno and rbi, waiting for solution
 
I got Reward Points of 2725 for transaction of 1lakh at Paytm Noida for visa signature debit card.
Previously I transact 1.5 lakhs at Cred no reward points credit. All transactions done at this month only. I think Cred is not providing points for Indus. Paytm does
