Wanted to redeem a reward on buying amazon GV (directly from amazon), and while trying to paying through CC, I noticed that the Merchant ID is now "AMAZON PAY INDIA" instead of the regular "AMAZON" or "AMAZON SELLER SERVICES" that I saw last month.
Is the new merchant ID showing for all ? (My last month transaction sms on similar reward redemption shows "AMAZON SELLER SERVICES" only)
Concerned whether this change (and maybe they changed MCC too to wallet?) would fetch rewards for SBI Simplyclick.
Anyone got rewards for the new merchant ID recently using SimplyClick or other cards which used to give rewards in buying GV on amazon (apart from aPay ICICI) ?
Reward expires tomorrow, so some fast inputs will surely help me.

I don’t know if they will give 2% back😞. Never seen this merchant name before.
In this Merchant name (INS) insurance so may be CC issuer can detect and you won't get any reward

All Amazon pay transactions on ICICI card give 2%. Earlier it used to show direct kic insurance only😅 and that used to give 2% as well. They even put a poster in app showing 2% cb.

Okayy.. i told for specific card where insurance is excluded also I didn't noticed his card type
31th Aug, i load paytm wallet via Zomato and new merchant name showing "Paytm Wallet".
I never saw this merchant name on SBI CC payment.
Isse pahele hamesa one97 ya paytm merchant name aata tha.
I think they are changing MCC code because of SBI Cashback credit card.

Transaction yet to settle, so not sure what will appear in statement. Also, cb might be 5% instead of usual 2% due to this (although Amazon can reverse it later).
One more thing Amazon gift voucher purchases are also now unlocking scratch cards like 60 on 1000, which used to come only on real shopping transactions. So something is definitely changed.

I bought 3000 GV with simply click, merchant showed Amazon pay privatet will update the bad news soon
@agnivo007
I got 105 offer for adding 3000, so I used Flipkart axis card for 1.5% more cashback. I hope they won't cheat me!

Yes, i did, immediately. Whether we get SMS for wallet load also? This the first time I am using for buying GV using Flipkart Axis card.
Axis FK doesn't reward for wallets right? Then MCC might not have changed, however often they reverse cb.
And I said cashback SMS, not regular transaction SMS from axis.

Whats the cashback on sbi simply click when merchant is amazon pay India private?
HDFC millennia unbilled transaction entry shows "AMAZON SELLER SERVICES MUMBAI". Cannot confirm cb% unless points credited in first week of October.

What about cashback on paying utility bill via amazon by sbi simply click
arindamb89 wrote:If you got it for utility bill payment via amazon using simplyclick card then it is some bug/system mistake & extra cb might be reversed in future statements.
How 1.25%
I got 560 points for 5600 transactions on amazon. Which is 140 Rs (2.5% Cashback)
Rs.3,000.00 spent on your Credit Card ending 4782 at AMAZON PAY INDIA PRIVATET on 17/11/22. I got this msg. Will I get 5%

So, no one confirmed the OP's original query till now. Here's it: Even the Merchant ID: Amazon Pay India PrivateT is giving the same 10X rewards for Click card. So, nothing changed yet. Hence, enjoy 10X till December 31, 2022.

This was brewing as I see with the initiation of aPay Balance UPI which was cooking all these days, they have segregated all kind of payments under different Merchant IDs with different MCC codes. This would have almost no effect on aPay ICICI card but for other cards... still I expect a lot of such changes coming soon, with normal ways of earning reward points etc seeing a drastic change... @chota_chattri
