I have to buy an iPhone 13 (128GB) in for my niece. I have been searching to get the best deal/price possible. I have an Axis Magnus, HDFC Regalia, and Amazon Pay.

Current prices:
  1. Amazon: Rs.69,900 (No bank offers)
  2. Flipkart: Rs.62,999 (No bank offers)
  3. HDFC smartbuy (Tresor): Rs.67,900 - 3000 HDFC cashback = Rs.64900
  4. Vijay Sales: Rs.65900 - 3000 HDFC cashback = Rs.62,900
  • I have crossed Magnus' 1lac milestone for December, and also crossed 10k capping for GrabDeals. So I am going to order in Jan 1st.

buy 10k FK voucher using gyftr that will earn you 300 ER and pay the rest amount I.e 53k using grabdeal and Magnus that can earn you another 10k ER

So total 13k ER in this purchase
But why buy just 10k FK vouchers. As GiftEdge has no upper capping like 10k in GrabDeals, can I not get six 10k vouchers worth Rs.60,000 and earn 5x ER i.e 18,000?

Typically Flipkart has a 10k limit. If it allows you to go ahead, there is no guarantee that you will get extra 4x ER for the remaining 50k.

Gyftr has a cap on 5x rewards for flipkart voucher of 10k per month. Not sure how it’s giving option to buy
In TNC it’s mentioned max 10k voucher allowed

That’s why it’s better to pay rest using grabdeal and Magnus, that will guarantee 5x rewards on entire purchase

Yeah I checked t&c, it says limit is 10k for FK vouchers, but for Amazon shopping vouchers, the limit shown is 50k. And Amazon shopping vouchers give 5x ER.

So if I buy 50k Amazon vouchers, I still won't get 15,000 ER because there is a upper limit on getting ER?

But in Amazon you said price if approx 70k and flipkart it’s 63k
So better to buy from flipkart than Amazon

If you have FK AXIS, you can use on flipkart to save additional 5%.

My suggestion if you cant wait for republic day sale is to use a combo of 10k vouchers plus grabdeals to maximize reward points on Axis.

Buy using Vijay Sales Gyftr gift card. 5x there directly for whole value.
