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.

Hey Alternative apps available SBI Unipay website, Jio Finance app and Canara Setu website.

Here is the list for exclusions mapped to the description. Unable to find Rental MCC. I know there are alternative app but in the longer term if other apps remove DC option or change MCC then Millennia should still work through HDFC billpay itself.

Hey Alternative apps available SBI Unipay website, Jio Finance app and Canara Setu website.
Jio Finance is in beta , is it fine to use and anyone received 1% cashback for this ?

SBI unipay is not allowing cc bill payments which are unbilled --> For Axis bank it is allowing via credit card number and able to pay unbilled payments, but for HDFC it is like BBPS and not allowing me to pay unbilled amount, stating no bill due.

Same across all platforms. Jio can't help in that regard as well
 
For every 100 rupee spent, you get 1 point.

1 point is = ₹0.25/-

Per transaction limit - 1L (which will fetch you 1000 points = ₹250 cashback)

Monthly limit - 10L
Is paying OneCard bill using SBI DC the best possible way to earn RP or there are other avenues bro ?
Should I pay OneCard bill directly via OneCard App using SBI DC or
should I use Cred to pay OneCard Bill using SBI DC or
pay via Cheq using SBI DC will also work to get RP bro ?
