Maximizing SBI Cashback Credit Card for Amazon Pay Gift Cards – Merchant Suggestions

[rounakbhowmik]

I'm looking to maximize the 5% cashback offer on my SBI Cashback Credit Card when purchasing Amazon Pay Gift Cards. Could anyone suggest some merchants that accept this payment method and where I can get the best value?​

​

If anyone could share details on merchants with upper limits per month on gift card purchases, that would be really helpful.​

Note: I know there are some posts discussing similar topics, but they don’t seem to include the specific data I'm looking for.

Update the app and clear app data/cache and try again. Dnt use saved card.

so its none but they simply turned off trans via cc so that customers dont get cb

No limit....
They don't limit you to buy anything...
It's just they don't provide CB anymore for direct AGV purchase

SBI CB card is not giving 5% cashback on direct AGV purchase from Amazon? Are you Sure?

Buddy if they were giving it then we all wouldn't be running from pillar to post so that these AGVs from third party aren't counted as gift vouchers

Where does it say that SBI won't give CB?
As per Amazon there is a limit on the purchase of a Gift Card.

I did get 5% cashback for direct AGV purchase till last month statement around 20 days back but not sure if something has changed now, only thing is there is a monthly limit on the purchase of a Gift Card

There is a limit on purchase of GV from Amazon but you can buy more from gyftr and other third party apps.. virtually unlimited apps

SBI stopped giving cb in March 2023...
That's why we keep hustling from one app to another for these GVs...
I am actually surprised how you got it... Make sure it's not corresponding to another purchase of same amount

Many people have complained that if you go over a certain limit while purchasing it on Amazon. Amazon blocks your card and you don't get the card option again. Gyftr has already removed card option.

On November I purchased Gift voucher worth 25k (10+10+05) from Amazon and got the cashback. So I can say they are providing Cashback On direct purchase.


But the problem is they may block credit card purchase option

Also don't use same card on different Amazon Account. They may block it as well
