Does Axis Airtel card track cashback properly these days? Is it worth applying for?

Hi, the Axis Airtel card is now available to apply for me in the Airtel app. I can easily max out the 25% and 10% categories with my spends. Is the card worth getting? Do they track cashback properly these days? I read many complaints on this forum from the early days of the card where people weren't happy with it.

I mainly use this for Airtel bill payment, electricity and LPG cylinders. Had some issues with tracking earlier but they credited the diff in subsequent months. So far, the only pending cashback is for one txn done in Bigbasket where merchant name is shown in  statement as just some numeric.

The main tracking issue relates to txns via Razorpay gateway but that is due to the illegal action on part of Razorpay in injecting their own RAZ* prefix before the merchant name

I used airtel axis for bill payments only. And for that it is tracking the categories for recharge and bill pay perfectly for past 2 months earlier I had to mail for bill payments cashback.

main issue with Airtel Axis is the statement as they don't mention the cashback amount like how they do for Flipkart Axis or Ace cards and thereby tracking CB is a big pain😡

Working perfectly for Airtel transactions at 25% cashback. Just ensure that the merchant name is 'AIRTEL' while making the payments.

Also, for Zomato and Swiggy it works perfectly for me as I have enabled One Click Payments.

No issues in cashbacks so far since last 3-4 months.
