Sorry if it's a repeat question. Unable to find answer.

To get 5% on purchasing AGV from Amazon itself, is there any specific merchant name?

Or is there any merchant name that should be avoided?

Nothing like that, just purchase AGV from Amazon and you're good to go.

I want to warn everyone not to pay credit card bills via paytm bill payment section. Last night I paid via paytm bill payment with my icici upi and they paytm gave me failed msg(sbi declined payment) after half an hour. paytm details section says refund initiated but I don't see refund reference number and also my bank account doesn't show refund. What should i do?

why would I have to wait for 7 days? Also can you help me knowing the customer care email ids for paytm?

Contact them on Twitter, that's the fastest way .

 

[NikhilG]

I think, I will have to consider going to twitter. There is no customer care of paytm, no helpline number to reach them, no customer care email, just an in app bot which is of no use. I can't even get the refund reference number from their app, and there is no where I can find it. Please let me know if someone has a similar experience?

 

[HumorSimpson]

Why bump this thread and scare us ?

 

[NikhilG]

Because I paid sbi cashback card bill with paytm app, and paytm says sbi card declined the incoming transaction.

Won't it get refunded? What's the issue?

Same happened with me. Credit card bill paid using Paytm wallet balance (on January 8th). Transaction failed and amount got debited. Status showed as Refund initiated.
I have contacted Twitter support and asked Refund reference number, they replied as 'Refund initiated, wait for 3 to 7 working days, reference number will be shared once refund is credited'. I just left it there.
After 1 week, Refund reference number was updated under failed transaction (here refund initiated date mentioned as January 16th), next day amount got credited to Paytm wallet balance.

Maybe it's something with SBI cashback and Paytm. I was unable to purchase gift vouchers in Paytm using my SBI cashback card.

Update - was unable to purchase using UPI as well. Meaning the issue is with Paytm alone

Why wallet balance? I paid via icici upi in paytm app. Should it not be refunded in same account? And also it should be instant. They are bluffing that refund initiated and they don't have refund reference number. Probably they want to eat the interest of 1 week or 10 days
