Cashback on train tickets booked via Smartbuy platform using the HDFC Swiggy card or suggest the better option

[anonym]

How much is the actual cashback (net after reducing the extra charges as compared to charges we pay on IRCTC via upi) we get on train tickets booked via Smartbuy platform using the HDFC Swiggy card? If anyone have recently booked the train tickets using the HDFC Swiggy card on Smartbuy portal please share your experience
Thank you

Until last month (June 2025), Pixel gave 5% on HDFC SmartBuy even as 5% was discontinued on most HDFC core cards and reduced to 1%. Now HDFC SmartBuy has broken off entirely with IRCTC and partnered with ConfirmTkt so Amazon Train ticket booking is the better option

Amazon adds extra charges so it's not much beneficial

It is the best option left currently except sbi irctc/hdfc irctc card
