Not just credit card bill payment, the entire bills and recharges section is gone. 💔
We can only buy some gift vouchers or purchase some other stuff now on.

SBI following Axis now... closing the loop-holes

Next step - SBI will bring 70/30 rule. We can only redeem 70% of the reward points balance in one transaction.

Is this method still workin? I have 8k SBI cc reward points?

 

[badg3rbyte]

So.... To redeem any voucher, we can only use upto 30% of points? I checked it for Amazon and Swiggy. I have around 18k points and just to redeem it, I'll have to spend around 10k rs 🥲.

First time I thought of redeeming and.. 🤷

Anyone has any other option?

SBI DC reward points can be redeemed in BMS.

Under payment options --> Redeem points --> DEBIT CARD --> SBI --> provide last 4 digits and mobile number.
It will fetch the balance and click and redeem

1. Use it in bookmyshow app to pay for movie tickets. This is the easiest and simplest way.

2. Some shops accept reward points payment. Check with some supermarket etc. (i could redeem in a prestige cooker showroom)

3. On sbi rewardz portal, you have to pay additional 50 rs convenience fee.

Then got to know from this forum that we can use it for bill payments, From Jan to July 2025, I used it for bill payments and in Aug - tada - it's ended.
