SBI Cashback card issue

I recently contacted SBI card customer care regarding cashback issue on my SBI cashback card.
Most of my transactions (done online) were not received 5% cashback and when I asked about the same they mentioned that some of the merchants have restrictions on cashback (ex: I have done a transaction on Subway but I received a 1% cashback instead of 5%).
Any one faced this issue??

Understood. If MCC is in exclusion list then it will be difficult. Tried to get MCC of transaction but back end team denied on email. Front line customer care executive doesn't have much idea about this, they are just reading the lines given in email. Is there any other way to get MCC?
Use the steps given by bugmenot to identify MCC and then update us.

even netflix and youtube automated payment also didn't get cashback. i am planning to close this credit card or upgrade new card. we cannot belive now which MCC will get ?
Automated payments of Netflix etc.getting counted under Utility MCC-4900.

Even Manual Payments will not fetch 5% since SBI excluded OTT Subscriptions MCC-4899 under the Head Utility given in Devaluation PDF.

But his txn is on flipkart. If it's a shopping txn, i don't see why the MCC would be in excluded categories.
It's worth escalating. Else SBI will just given CB at it's own discretion and customers would never know if they're going to get it or not.

there is a slight chance of Flipart using a different MCC but in that case SBI should atleast share the MCC.
What did u shop on flipkart

I did a 32K transaction on EaseMyTrip this Friday (Flight Booking). I received 0% CB.

Did two other transactions on the same day:
MakeMyTrip via Amazon Flights - 5% CB Received
Agoda Flights - 5% CB Received.

I have opened up a ticket for EaseMyTrip Issue and waiting for a revert. Ideally, I should be receiving Cashback for the same.
The transactions of MMT via Amazon and Agoda were after 1 May 2023? And you booked flights on MMT via Amazon?

I think MMT support Amazon payment right ? buy Amazon gv and get 5% cashback for SBI Cashback credit card and then use on MMT payment using Amazon gv.

Trick here -

What's the actual trick bro? On the post, I didn't find any solution. As far as I know, buying gift cards won't help getting 5% cashback after 1 May.
