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.
@some1anywhere964 Try getting a millennia and enjoy 5% , don't run for SBI CB card if not already having, will be devalued to gutter-level next year!

So would need to buy 2 x ₹10000 gift vouchers to accrue enough points on SimplyCLICK to get redeemable-against-points ₹500 gift voucher. And then it's getting de-valued to 5x

I use it wherever they have accelerated reward points - Lenskart, Apollo 24|7 and Netmeds for parents' regular meds, Amazon (duh for any shopping), UrbanCompany (for massages and AC servicing) and BookMyShow. But I have to balance it with ICICI APay, OneCard, BOB Select, IDFC First WOW, RBL SaveMax, and HDFC Business MoneyBack :) so it's tough to always use SimplyCLICK.
But the real saving for having an SBI card is huge flat discounts during festive offers. e.g. ₹3000 off some smartphone especially if you are a geek/tech savvy and buying the smartphone for someone not so tech savvy in which case I don't pass on the discount to them (since I research the appropriate model for them and do all the data transfer for them). That "recovers" 6 times the annual cost of the card.
@some1anywhere964 Try asking for upgrade to millennia.LTF for Biz.Moneyback. Maybe they will give spend based condition and you know all stuff to reach it (maybe 50k only).

I just got Business Moneyback yesterday with 1,88,000 limit (since it was the only pre-approved one for a self-employed bloke like me, Millennia rejected 6 months ago but I had 1 month old baby young credit cards then, so didn't want to risk it again).@some1anywhere964 Try asking for upgrade to millennia.LTF for Biz.Moneyback.

Yes, I was stuck upto biz.moneyback too (and lower variant for 7+ years). Life's hard for self-employeds with medium income... They finally offered Regalia paid, but I negotiated for millennia.LTF and got in August finally!
Yes, take your time. I didn't use CC much and was inactive only till last 2 years. @some1anywhere964

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
