HDFC Smartbuy - Gyftr has raised the Conv fees applied to Amzon Pay GV to 3.25% + GST.

Leading to charges of ~38.35 rupees on a GV of 1000 INR.
Earlier this charge was ~14.75 on the same transaction.

The effective reward rate for Millenia is reduced to ~2.39% upon buying Amazon GV from Smartbuy.

This also affects other HDFC cards.

Do check if the changes are applicable to all users. The calculations are rough and can be slightly off.

For DCB, can some explain me the benefit of buying Amazon pay gift voucher in smartbuy..

For 10k, it is showing 10,338 rs. 990 RPs values only in cashback (990*0.3= 297 rs).

So, its a loss right? Around 41 rs
 
I have purchased a 10k amazon gift voucher and a 5k amazon gift voucher from smartbuy using my millennia cc so it should fetch me 5% cashback right?
I got 5% for the 10k but didn't get it for 5k I called hdfc customer care they said contact smartbuy and when contacted smartbuy they said contact HDFC. What should I do?

Smartbuy has a Capping of 1000 Cashback.
As you mentioned, you got only 180 for 5k Txn, then I think you have Crossed the Capping
