After Ace Devaluation, what's the best card for Utility Payments?
P.s. I'm assuming usage - utility payments only. For offline & other* spends Ace is still best card 
❤️.
1. Axis Bank FreeCharge Plus Credit Card [Invite Based Only]
Charges:
• Joining Charges: Free
• Annual Charges: 350* + GST
• *Waiver on 50k spends annually
• P.s. leave the application halfway & apply only after you get call from agent & they might offer you LTF card.
Pros:
• 5% unlimited CB on Utility Payments via FreeCharge App
• 2% on Ola, Uber, Etc
• 1% on Offline & Online
Cons:
• FreeCharge charges 1% Convenience Fee + 18% GST on each utility payment except recharges, so technically ~ 3.8% savings as cashback.
Hidden Tips:
• As per TnC, Insurance Payments are not eligible for cashback but we get 5% cashback [3.8% after charges] which makes this card a Gem 💎🤑. P.s. I haven't tried this personally.
• Time to time we get FC account specific PromoCodes too e.g. FC10 which is for UPI only [as per TnC] but we get CB with this card too
[Bug]
• FC offer scratch cards on each txn, before txn your location should be on & you'll get SC in 'FC Cashback' section [reward is obviously luck based].
2. RuPay Platinum Debit Card
Offer: 20% upto 100 instant discount per month on Utility Payments via Amazon [Valid on Fridays Only Till 31st March, 2024]
3. Tata Neu Infinity Credit Card
• Tata Neu Infinity card also offer 5% cashback as NeuCoins 🪙.
4. IDFC FIRST Power+ RuPay Credit Card
• 5% savings as Rewards on Grocery & Utility expenses of up to ₹2,000 every month.

The link for ace cashback update says,
W.e.f 15th June, 2023, MCCs 6381, 5960, 6012, 6051, 8299, 8211, 8241, 8244, and 8249 will also be excluded from cashback eligibility.
Any idea what are these categories?

can't imagine RuPay Platinum Debit Card is now an alternative to Ace CC, what a massive Ace CC devaluation it must be.
