Credit Card Golden Days Over

After the devaluation of all banks, including ICICI, HDFC, and Axis, it seems the golden days of credit cards are over.

We used to get 5% cashback on Amazon Pay gift card purchases with SBI cashback and HDFC Swiggy card. However, Amazon has put the last nail in the coffin by changing the MCC code.

Soon, we will only get a 50-day credit period and nothing else. Finfluencers and YouTubers sharing tricks to misuse credit cards are responsible.

I wasn't till last month. The merchant name while purchasing gv using HDFC was always "Amazon Gift Card", still they used to credit 5%. So just be cautious since it can happen anytime.
The screenshot attached above shows the transaction date of Oct 12, so the cashback will be credited next month. And since the merchant name is the same as before, nothing has actually changed.

no cashback on buying gift card through SBI Cashback and HDFC swiggy card, wherever you buy.

Amazon was using Shopping MCC for gift card purchase
