HDFC Platinum and Millennia debit cards are so popular on DD that I am fearing that HDFC is going to shutdown the 1% CB via HDFC Bill Pay / Mobikwik sooner or later. Enjoy it while it lasts, I say.

Been around for years. Many other banks have rewards points, none so popular. Chances that other will copy/provide more rewards.
although this may need its own thread - is there a way to pay another persons bank account using CC? instead of NEFT?

Erupee official app? or any bank specific erupee app?
in ICICI pocket add fund option, I am getting 2 UPI option:
1. Add funds via UPI within app: It is asking to link a bank in the app and use that bank
2. Add funds via UPI from other apps: It is asking to open another upi app and transfer money to pocket app upi.
can you share the steps for Load money from Rupay cc using gpay?

3)HDFC PLATINUM debit card: can be used on hdfc bill pay and mobikwik for 1% cashback upto rs750 pm. (excl mobikwik offers). No cashback for payment through Cred, paytm, Cheq. Fees 750 (waived for certain account categories)
4) HDFC Millennia debit card: can be used to load Amazon/Paytm wallets and then pay bill. 1% cashback upto 400pm. Fees 500 (waived for certain account categories). Use Amazon UPI to pay bill from wallet.
5) Other dc: Indusind exclusive (upto ~0.9% cashback), RBL EDC (depends on milestones achieved), Axis Burgundy 1% ER, Axis Burgundy Private 1.5% ER [source: Theo], Axis liberty [will add details]

2) Load payzapp from cc (no charge). Pay rent using Paytm (1.5% charge)

The Rs 50 cashback for GRAB1CCBP / DDCCBP codes is received in your Mobikwik wallet. Mobikwik won't let you do more than Rs 20k on your HDFC Platinum DC within 24 hrs. You can do multiple Rs 19999 on the same day though.
Also, the 1% upto Rs 750 on HDFC Platinum DC is all inclusive - so either you do Rs 75k via HDFC Billpay or Rs 75k via Mobikwik or you do half and half - Rs 750 is the max you are getting. As I said, for first bill payments for the month, Mobikwik will let you apply those codes to get an extra Rs 50 off.
Mobikwik does not get a lot of trust around on DD and for valid reasons. If your CC is non-HDFC and is available on HDFC BillPay, I say stay clear of Mobikwik.
