Which credit card to use for insurance payments (insurer not listed on Amazon/Tata Neu)

I have to make health insurance payments of around 18k within a week or so and around 80k insurance for my parents. My insurer - HDFC Ergo Health insurance(both for me and my parents) - and sadly not listed on Amazon or Tata Neu - hence idea of accumulating AGV is not useful.

I have these cards -


Axis MyZone
Axis Flipkart
Axis Ace
ICICI Apay
ICICI Coral
ICICI Coral
IndusInd Pinnacle
HDFC Millenia
HDFC Tata Neu Infinity
SBI Cashback
IDFC Select
Kotak League Platinum
BOB Premier
AU Zenith
HSBC Visa Platinum
Amex MRCC

Out of these - any idea which card can give the best cashback or rewards for insurance payments? For 18k payments - will do it from any of the above cards. If any other card which has good rewards for insurance - I can apply and pay the December insurance payment.

I already tried applying for SBI Vistara Prime online - but SBI had other plans - showed me different cards altogether and gave a limit of 20K(even though my SBI Cashback is at 1.5L).

Don't want to apply for Magnus - not a correct fit for me or Atlas - also I don't have much air travel.

Another thing is that Amazon has discontinued buying APay gift cards by using credit cards.
How are you planning to buy the cards?

I don't think so. I just tried to purchase 100 Rs gift card and able to see all my credit cards available to purchase that gift card. How much amount you are trying?

Sorry, premium payment has been stopped by cards. Gift cards and vouchers can still be bought.

From where are you planning on buying the gift cards/ vouchers and at what discount?
I am asking since I too have 85k premium coming up in November and am looking for alternative ways to pay. I do not have Amazon full kyc too. I won't be able to get 80k vouchers by Nov due to the capping.

My premium is not that much so I can easily collect 50k in next 4 months from Amazon only using SBI Cashback card. Currently there are few offers going on Amazon for buying gift cards using UPI as well.

Do let us know how you managed to pay your insurance amount, once you paid it. Its good to know more ways to pay insurance for companies that are not listed on Amazon.

I did it via Mobikwik wallet - via HDFC Ergo site - at the payment portal - there was a wallet option - loaded Mobi wallet using MRCC - and payment was done. Maybe not the most rewarding way - but will get some MR points and some milestone completion for MRCC

How you loaded mobikwik wallet with 80k without any charges? Actually I am in same boat and need to pay 42k hdfc health insurance premium. Thanks in advance.

I had loaded it back when mobi didn't charge - now they do. Also I have done 18k and not 80k.

Now as they charge - onto finding a new method or a new rewarding card
 
It can not track my health insurance saying no policy on mobile number. What to do now
 
Is it a better deal to buy amazon pay gift cards via multiplier/gyftr portals or rather just get 5% CB from SBI cashback card ?
