Which Debit Card to use for Credit Card Bill Payment in April 2025

IDFC now changed t&c

only one time welcome rewards (no matter which dc you used).

New customers - apply firstap RuPay dc and use on phonepe app cc bill pay and get welcome rewards. (you still get 2k, 4k, 8k and 20k welcome rewards on firstap RuPay card, if you dnt use your primary dc).

transaction rewards and 10x reward is eligible on firstap RuPay dc.
hi sir i made my first transaction on 24th march so will i get the bonus 8000 points on first tap idfc rupay as I've got the welcome points with my wealth dc in feb this year
 
I made a payment on SCB billdesk using IDFC Rupay card (using debit card option). I didn't receive points for it. The merchant name is STANDARDCHAB.

I did another payment using Phonepe for HDFC cc, the reward points credited instantly.

I seem to remember I got reward points for SCB Billdesk using IDFC Rupay card last month. Has anything changed this month?
 
@Abhishek012 Currently, reward points are getting instantly accrued, however in the redeemable reward points it is showing as 0. So, by when its gets credited or become eligible for redemption?

Further, is there a way to move the reward points from Savings Account to Card to book flight tickets?
14days after they are credited they will be able to be redeemed I think.
 
How to Pay Amex Bill using SBI VDC?
Tried the amex bill desk, if i select QR option and scan using PhonePe Rupay DC doesn’t come up as a option. If I select the debit card option on Bill Desk and then select SBI, it asks for internet banking credentials. Will SBI not take money directly from Bank account? Does it let you select which debit card to pay from?

To answer part of your question, I too made a bill desk SCB payment this morning but phonepe did not show dc for QR code. I then choose debit card and paid via idfc rupay card. No reward points received via this method.

Thanks for the effort. Will adding money from SBI Rupay VDC to Phonepe/amazon/freecharge wallet fetch any rewards?
 
For everyone asking about SBI VDC and when the rewardz will be credited for a new account , here is the official response:

1743833983024.webp

This is from the day of activation for the DC. Plus knowing SBI, you can add another 15-20 days.
