I spend a lot on Swiggy. I have an Axis flipkart card, but I realized, every purchase is aggressively rounded down. So I barely get the 4%, almost every swiggy purchase I get less than that. (Granted, in the big picture it might not be a very big deal but nevertheless, I assume people in this forum like optimizing , right?)
Then I figured I would just get a gift card with a round number, so I can expect the full 4%. However I am only getting 1.5% when I use the "Add Balance" option in Swiggy Money. I paid for Rs. 5000, expecting to see Rs. 200 cash back, but all I get is Rs. 75. The statement just says made a purchase towards some BUNDL tech or Paytm something, and customer care says it's not a swiggy merchant (This happens even with regular swiggy food purchases some times. Anyone knows why this happens? Some times it's BUNDL, sometimes its swiggy... ?????)
I tried using Grab Deals, but I only get 2.5 % on Rs. 5000 for a discount of Rs. 175 and no further cash back on that transaction either. The statement says something along the lines of ICICI, and that doesn't count as swiggy merchant either.
So ... thoughts? I am seeing people occasionally get more than 4% by going through multiple hoops (5% SBI card -> amazon voucher -> swiggy voucher with discount etc), but I do not have a SBI cash back card. Is there any way I can consistently get the 4%? (I am not against completely throwing away the Axis-Flipkart card all together and use something else. It's a LTF card anyway, not like I am "obliged" to use the card).
