@batguy143 Now Credit Card bill payment working perfectly for HDFC Credit card on SBI unipay.

Note - first time try Rs100 and then 1k, 5k, 10k or max 20k. Do multiple transactions.

Dnt use SBI unipay at night, if possible try on bank working hours.

Amazon full kyc wallet na ? activate Amazon wallet UPI.

Now visit any banks billdesk credit card bill pay website and scan & pay through Amazon app.

Search on google for your bank billdesk credit card bill pay website and generate QR code there.

1) Hmm SBI Unipay removed credit card option to pay

2) Hmm Sriram one not accepting UPI rupay credit card (they disabled on their side)

3) Hmm airtel not allowing UPI in BBPS

4) Hmm Dhani one asks KYC (so never tried)

so any other app to try? for CC to CC payments

Had a Quick Look:  Bad reward ratio. 

2 pts per 100 for elite dc ( most premium account i think)

Amazon shopping voucher is 0.25p per reward point. So, 0.5% rewards ratio

It will come next month as a reward. Max Rs 100 per day so advisable to do 3 txns of Rs 1500 each per day till you max out Rs 500 cashback

Update: Got confirmation from RBL dt 22.05.2024 about MCCs for certain transactions mentioned below for your reference. Also, note that currently CRED, Mobikwik, Amazon, Paytm are not eligible for RBL debit card rewards so we are left with only sbi unipay. 


Thought of CC bill payments might be considered for rewards calculation from these platforms and paid large amounts in this month but all gone in vain. However, because of due date nearing and sbi unipay platform issues forced to pay from outside.
