Can I Make an Order of 45K Using My Apay ICICI Card With Limit of 35K ?

Hi Guys, Need to make a purchase on Amazon,
Prime is activated on my brothers account , however his Apay Credit Card Limit is only 35K
and the purchase amount is approximately 43K.. Is there any way to make a full payment with this card ?
I do have APAY ICICI CC with a decent limit and can easily make the order..
but the Cashback amount will reduce to 3%

Another point I want to understand is that the Apay Card is linked to your Amazon Account ,
so in case you make a purchase using Your Apay Card on Some Other Amazon account
will it give you 3% CB or 1% CB, has anyone tried it yet ?

Yeah was thinking of doing the same however amazon CC is telling ,
its not possible.. no idea if they are unaware of it or simply telling to get rid of the situation.

any personal experience bro…
Asking in case i need to make a purchase this way..
one of the CC suggested to load amazon balance and then make a payment of 35k
but the apay balance wont fetch the 5% CB
Is the Amazon voucher purchase using the Apay Credit Card with 5% CB still working

So it was one single order of Rs2.2lacs on Amazon, to be more specific OTP received for Rs2.2lacs?
OP:
I used card 150% 2-3 times by topping up before order card is safe.
Say my card limit is Rs1lac my orders were like 30k,40k,55k never a single order was more than Rs1lac(Card limit)

Many dimers have reported that amazon pay card is giving 5% cashback on purchase of amazon gift vouchers too. Firstly, you can buy Amazon voucher worth Rs 8k from you Amazon pay card and then add these 8k to your wallet.

Secondly, credit back the debited 8k amount to your credit card by bill payment of Rs 8k and after that when the limit of card is brought back to full 35k, you can now make your payment of rs 43k which will be Rs 35k from your card and 8k from azp wallet.

In this way, You won’t loose any cashback amount and will get your desired product also.

Don’t fund your your card with 8k advance because ICICI will
withhold your transaction stating Security Reasons.
Your card may get blocked if you try this multiple times.

And if by any chance it’s blocked you can just call customer care and tell them actual reason for excess spending.

ICICI limits cashback to credit limit. If credit limit is 35K, cashback will be calculated on the basis of 35K only, including all other transactions during the billing cycle. So for limit of 35K and prime account transaction, max cashback will be restricted to 1750 for a billing period, even if you make advance payment and then make transaction of 45K.
In addition, the card account will be flagged and ICICI may at their discretion, block the card.
Better to buy 8K GV from your account as gift to your brother’s account, load it to your brother’s APay and then pay the remaining amount by ICICI card. If your brother has already used the card for some other transactions during current billing period, then the GV amount will need to be further increased.

Don’t go for exceeding card limit option. Too many risks / unknowns.
Just this month bought gv using card n got 5% cb (i’m a prime member).
One more suggestion: buy 12-15k gvs. Not 8k bcoz maxing our card will hit credit score.
Btw what ru buying? 🙂

Wanna take my suggestion? Just take one month prime at 129 or take 3 months prime coupon selling at 150-200 from trading section. That’s it. If you spend 45k on a 35k limit card, his credit score will take a dump too.
