Now this card is of no use. Only closure will help. Waste of time and card too. I have taken it 4months ago and now I will close it

IDFC Wealth card is the most impacted with this change from 1st May
0.5% default rewards up to 20,000 spends. Theron, 1.66% unlimited.
I am very disappointed with this change. RBI should stop all the non sense YouTube videos by the so called influencers exposing loop holes in the banking system for ensuring safety and fair usage of the financial instrument. and at the same time restrict banks from massive devaluation. At the end we as end consumers suffer. People should stop abusing reward points and cashbacks.
https://www.desidime.com/comments/permalink/9988339
Reward points are made to be abused by customers as well as the bankers...
bankers devalue points value (its the bankers abusing way)
users find loop holes (its the users abusing way)
Its a double edged sword , its cat and mouse game lol
dont complain, it is bound to happen, youtubers or someone will bound to expose loopholes and the cardissuer will fix it.. and after fixing it the cards get low worth so in near future introduce new cards with better marketing by the issuer with another fake set of rewards with loop holes to lure fresh customers and the process goes on lol
like i said its cat and mouse
dont complain one sided on people who bust loop holes xD its the card company intention to have this way lol
at the end banker wins lol or else how will they make money lol
no use complaining
so reap up rewards till you can get a hold of it

If I do education payment on April 25th am i eligible for 10x reward points? my statement date is 24th April.
https://www.desidime.com/comments/permalink/9988533
Mostly, u will get only 6x, as remaining 4x calculation happens on statement generation date only.
At least that's what happened with me last time when they did utility mcc related change. But I complaint to them citing terms and date of transaction. Then they manually credited remaining 4x also.

No effect on IRCTC lounge access. Right?
https://www.desidime.com/comments/permalink/9988730
IDFC was my # 1 preferred card to use. The movie voucher of BOGO upto 500 was very nice as new movies are generally expensive. I was infact even thinking of opening bank account and moving my salary account there. Looks like now all these plans would be shelved and this card will go to my chest box never to be bought out.
Once the dust settles around all the devaluations, we will have to see which card comes out ahead.

Are you sure that international lounge is not gated behind the spend criteria too? Email reads like ALL lounge access requires spending.

Now my Amazon Pay ICICI card looks best. Atleast I can close my eyes and spend anywhere getting 1% cashback no strings applied.
The IDFC card practically became useless. My LTF SBI SimplyClick now looks much better
Apay ICICI now doesn't give on government payments, yes, still holding sclick even if paid, shall try to make ltf...
