Buying GOLD/Jewellery from Credit Card

Hi all,
Some of you may not have an idea about buying gold/jewellery via credit cards. I myself didnt have much idea until I purchased myself.

So recently I purchased jewellery from a big retail jeweller and swiped my cards at their POS machine. Following are the cards I used:
AMEX Smart Earn CC - Got 1 MR point/50rs without capping
AMEX Gold Charge Card - Got 1 MR point/50rs without capping
Indusind Visa Signature Debit Card - Got 125 points on spending 10K
Amazon ICICI Apay CC - Straight 1% cashback to amazon pay wallet

The point of this post is that there are many cards which dont give any reward points on buying gold/silver or any jewellery or atleast they mention that way in their T&C. I used the above cards at their physical store (not online purchase) and got all the due rewards without any issue.

Bonus Tip: Then added the above equivalent amount to Mobikwik Xtra and earned 12% p. a until my bill payment date. That way I kind of earned more money/value out of this transaction/strategy.

Another Bonus Tip: Paid all credit card dues a week before the due date (enjoyed 12%interest p.a until then without any issue!!!) via CRED via DEBIT CARD.
Since I used IndusInd Visa Signature Debit Card (Indus Partner Account. Neither Select, nor Exclusive), I got 3K points which is equivalent to around 1050rs cash redemption.
Basically if you pay your CC bill using Cred by your IndusInd Visa Signature Debit Card, you kind of get 1050rs per 1 lakh bill payment roughly per month per card.

The assured gifts program is again running currently https://www.ajio.com/assured-gifts

And there is 5% discount on all prepaid transactions till midnight today https://www.ajio.com/instant-discount-offer

In case SBI cashback is used, it is coming to 21400 - 1070 = 20330 for 3 gm which is 6777 of 999.9 24 KT gold bars.
ibja rate is ₹ 6627 + 199 = 6826

it is not a big profit but still decent deal for someone interested in long term and using the gifts (thought they are not worth the prices the site mentions)

Hope it helps

Hi, so as on today does Amex still give these rewards without capping on gold and gold jewellery?
AMEX Smart Earn CC - Got 1 MR point/50rs without capping
AMEX Gold Charge Card - Got 1 MR point/50rs without capping

If so, how do you buy gold? Swipe the card directly at the shop or have to buy vouchers from RM portal and then use that to pay?
