How many reward points can be earned in a month on virtual debit can anybody tell plz

u can get 10K which includes bonus
To get 1000 RPs u need to spend 1L per transaction.... so to get 10K RPs u need to spend 9L (9K + 1K milestone benefit)

But every transaction can be of at max ₹50,000/- as VDC limits it. So, 9L ÷ 50K = 18 transaction everyday within a month (to get 1K bonus). Previously it was 1K bonus points on 1L spent now they've added it needs to be within a month which is challenging. If the previous would've continued you'll need to spend only 5L for 10K points, 5L gives 5K points and 1K additional for each 1L spent through VDC.

both VDC and normal DC are same now... no point in doing transacrions with VDC now...

Old:

Earn 1000 Reward Points on every 1 lakh spent online or in-store on your Debit Card in the financial year.

New:

Earn 1,000 Bonus Reward Points on PoS and E-comm spends of ₹1 lakh or more in a month. (Spends on MCC-6540 excluded)

So, monthly it is 0.5% only at the spend of 1L.
I was going to pay 7L this month, I can use virtual and physical to get 0.5% up to 2L only.

Limits are per account. So you will get 1000 for 1L spent only once afaik.

You will get only 1000 points even if you spend 7L, terms and conditions have changed and it doesn't matter if you use virtual or physical, both are same now and counted as single DC for reward calculation.

Yeah VDC still offers 1K bonus for 1L spend so better to use that instead of Physical DC.

Almost all debit cards are showing that : 1000 reward points for spending in a single month ( both virtual and physical).
1000 points for 1L spending in a financial year offer is gone.

It will be hard for most of the people to spend 1L in every month.
Even we spend 90k in a month, next month it will reset and starts from zero. So, milestone benifit for SBI virtual and physical debit card is almost gone.

MobiKwik doesn't allow prepayment of my credit cards, before statement generation. It says, my card is fully paid and doesn't give option to pay.

So, I am pre-paying my credit card bills through respective apps like Axis app for Airtel and Atlas cards, and Yes bank app from Kiwi card. I have noticed, am not getting SBI bonus reward points.

Will paying through individual apps also fetch bonus points or I should pay only through MobiKwik?
