HDFC Platinum and Millennia debit cards are so popular on DD that I am fearing that HDFC is going to shutdown the 1% CB via HDFC Bill Pay / Mobikwik sooner or later. Enjoy it while it lasts, I say.
Been around for years. Many other banks have rewards points, none so popular. Chances that other will copy/provide more rewards.
although this may need its own thread - is there a way to pay another persons bank account using CC? instead of NEFT?
Dont think any option to do directly. Can load wallets through c card then trf
@Sachin9811 i have accidently added 50K instead of 5K to my Icici pocket wallet with GPAY and rupay cc, transaction was successful , but amount was not credited to pocket wallet, due to 25k limit.
Now what will happened to my amount ?
3rd point in which account category Millennia fee waived off?
Erupee official app? or any bank specific erupee app?
Try icici e rupee. But small amount check if it works for you.
Hearing from people it stopped for them.
in ICICI pocket add fund option, I am getting 2 UPI option:
1. Add funds via UPI within app: It is asking to link a bank in the app and use that bank
2. Add funds via UPI from other apps: It is asking to open another upi app and transfer money to pocket app upi.
can you share the steps for Load money from Rupay cc using gpay?
Use 2nd.
That is send money from gpay to 'Pockets.Your number@icici'
What is the benefit of using the pocket app?
Cc to bank/cc free of charge
if someone is aware, please add idfc debit for bill payment
Yup this i Will add. Good rate

Is there any trick left for rupay cc to cc bill payment?
Gpay and Snapay already patched...any other working please dm me.
Will I get 1% cashback on HDFC Easyshop Platinum card, If paid credit card bill on following platform?
Cred, Cheq, Mobikwik, Paytm CC bill pay, HDFC bill pay portal
Can confirm that mobikwik and hdfc bill pay will give cb. Cheq, cred don't
Can HDFC Millennia debit card be used for higher than 1% cashback?
Heard people get 2.5% on mobikwik for cc bill payment, counted as utilities. But check for yourself.
@dexter_greycells @Sachin9811 how does HDFC platinum dc gives 1% on mobikwik? Do we need to take care of the merchant name here? Whenever I used millenia dc. I used to get "one mobikwik system" as merchant name .
Please confirm what should be merchant name while transacting with HDFC platinum DC
There is absolutely no need to bother validating the merchant name when using HDFC Platinum DC on Mobikwik for CC bill payment.
Icici pocket limits per day? Also, can we pay cc bill directly via pockets wallet balance?
How to get this RBL Signature + Dc ? Please enlighten us if possible.
Open rbl saving account min balance of 5k or higher variant.
Do not apply any debit card at time of opening.
After account is active, apply this debit card. 5.9k charges. You will get 5k voucher after few weeks of dc delivery if you do an offline tranx.
If you want more details google search for rbl signature plus dc benefits, you will get many forums/threads on this topic.
Hdfc credit card payment we cannot do from hdfc pay right? We need to use mobikwik?
Yes. But Mobikwik has changed merchant payment codes. So, can't say if earning points now. Better wait for couple of days.
Alternatively, can do cc to cc payment: start process to pay cc bill with dc, but cancel at otp page. It will take you to payu page to enter card details again. enter debit card details to pay but cancel again at otp page. Third time use cc details and complete tranx, it will go through.without extra charges.. Only few cc working like sbi, idfc, icici apay. Working now, can stop any day.
Except hdfc bill pay and mobikwik, I am not aware of any other.
Can pay excess cc bill from bill pay and get refund later from cc (sbi cc refund process easiest). You will get cashback.
for RBL DC, is digital account ok. or account from branch is needed ?
Better to open from branch. There has been some cases where they froze digital account for high value transactions which defeats the purpose of this card,
Very enlightening and interesting information.
Merchant name is gone..loot is gone
Mobikwik loot gone Any other app
Idfc ki murgi kartne gaye to mobi egg dena band kar diya. 🤷..
Ek tha mobid..k

The Rs 50 cashback for GRAB1CCBP / DDCCBP codes is received in your Mobikwik wallet. Mobikwik won't let you do more than Rs 20k on your HDFC Platinum DC within 24 hrs. You can do multiple Rs 19999 on the same day though.
Also, the 1% upto Rs 750 on HDFC Platinum DC is all inclusive - so either you do Rs 75k via HDFC Billpay or Rs 75k via Mobikwik or you do half and half - Rs 750 is the max you are getting. As I said, for first bill payments for the month, Mobikwik will let you apply those codes to get an extra Rs 50 off.
Mobikwik does not get a lot of trust around on DD and for valid reasons. If your CC is non-HDFC and is available on HDFC BillPay, I say stay clear of Mobikwik.
