Important info for sbi simplysave card users regarding online grocery/dept 10x points
- Sort By
It depends on MCC aka merchant category code of POS?
No matter online or offline
Merchant category code depends on the Merchant registration with payment gateway, it cannot be seller specific. Your Amazon seller specific logic is not right. You are making payment to Amazon with your visa/master card, so the mcc of Amazon regd with visa/master networks will decide how credit cards track the transaction. It is possible that for reliability of successful transactions, Amazon may have regd with multiple MCCs, also for segregating transactions of Sellers like Cloudtail, Pantry, Fresh etc owned by Amazon.
thank you buddy.

See the first post bhai. 
Also update here your reward points status for those 2 amazon transactions.
already i read your post.that’s why asking,and i said, in bank statement showing as amazon grocery,din’t say anything about points,because it’s icici coral card,got regular pay back points.which is less benefit card for me.that’s why looking for a card,which will give decent cash back
Identification of Department stores are based on MCCs (Merchant Category Codes) allotted by Mastercard & Visa. It doesn’t matter whether it is online or offline. Also Sellers doesn’t matters.
See my 1st post point No.2. You can try yourself. 
Go to some other MORE/Big Bazaar store &/or tell them you will use credit card linked to amazonpay wallet & not wallet balance & then see. If it is indeed failure on their end then you can always raise a chargeback request for credit card transaction within 2-3 days(time it takes for transaction to settle) during which time the transaction should be reversed within a few hours/day.

Yes, i have experienced this in case of restaurants and grofers. I tried getting it clarified with customer care but nobody was able to say anything concrete.
