How to get Rewards on Amex & SCB Credit Card bill payment using IDFC DC ?

Amex -
https://www.billdesk.com/pgidsk/pgmerc/amexcard/amex_card.jsp

SCB - https://pgi.billdesk.com/pgidsk/pgmerc/standardchartered/scb_card.jsp

Many people told they got reward on Amex and SCB Bank CC bill payment using IDFC Firstap RuPay Debit Card.

Actually billdesk use 2-3 different payment gateways/acquirer banks - HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank etc.

After payment, if IDFC showing category Credit Card bill payment. You will get rewards for Amex CC bill payment but if you get EMI or some other Category then no Reward points.

Earlier, i used HTTP Header Chrome Extension to find out all URL connected/open in my chrome browser - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/http-headers/fabjnpecogealbfoebkcjfbmdhnnfhbj

But chrome browser now removed all HTTP Header Chrome Extension from Chrome web store. 🤣🤣

However, HTTP Header extension still available for Firefox browsers but im not using firefox browser.

if you guys know anyway to find out all URL (HTTP Header) history let me know or any other way to find out which Amex CC/SCB CC billdesk website gateway page is eligible for IDFC Firstap RuPay Debit Card, please share.

Billdesk everyday change acquirer bank gateway.

for example - 13th June and 3 days ago (i think 18th June), some people told they got rewards on Amex-billdesk using IDFC Firstap RuPay DC (category comes after payment - Credit Card bill payment on IDFC)

but today 21th June, no reward points (category comes after payment - others on IDFC).

Does both otp says same merchant names!

Yes . . 🤣🤣

If you guys have used Zavo app-billdesk gateway, you'd know that the merchant name remains the same but after the transaction, in IDFC, it shows up under different categories – 1) Credit Card Bill Payment, 2) EMI Payment, or sometimes 3) Others (there are 3 different payment gateways).

The good thing about Zavo app is that all 3 gateways are eligible for IDFC rewards. 😍😍

In the case of Amex-Billdesk, there are different categories and some gateways don’t give rewards while some do — even though the merchant name, UI, and everything else are exactly the same.

Check dm .
 
It’s a good option only when it is giving txn category same for whole day. Else we shud do try 3-4 txn on idfc dc to check the txn category and proceed accordingly
Risking for higher rewards is better than getting nothing/0.25% from sbi dc imo
