Long time lurker, first time poster.

Applied for and received Rupay Select Power Plus credit card. First credit card from IDFC Bank.


Did a fuel transaction of 2707 at pump, but transaction amount was updated to 2802 in statement. Called customer care and they confirmed that there are charges on fuel transactions which are different from surcharge.


An amount of 27, 1% of pump amount was refunded within a day of transaction.


I paid using ICICI POS device.

PS: received 448 reward points, equal to 4% of total amount, not pump amount.

I received 448 reward points, which is equal to 112 rupees, so only 4% cashback as yet. If I receive more, I'll update here.

Oh boy……what I meant was kisi aur ke saath bhi ye haadsa ho rha hai to confirm karde. Ho sakta hai saare pumps pe aisa na ho rha ho.

@swordfish - Additional 1.5% cashback is only if you use HP Pay app for payment.
