how is the pdf useful for us ?
for eg: if I want to find whether adding money to wallet will be considered for 5% or 1% cashback, how will I find out ?
Or in other words, if I want to find MCC of a merchant for eg: ANI Technologies, how will I find it out !
This is mainly a reference for translation of TnC which mention MCC codes... @gautam2usa226
There's a trick which I cannot disclose that requires making a mock transaction with a particular card and merchant category for merchant ID on OTP page can be found out. I don't want this exposed to public else that company might squash the bug...

companies do cancel credit cards of people abusing it but still people abusing it , only way to teach lession to people is to not issue credit card at the first place, if there will be no credit card there will be no abuse
i have abused many of my credit cards personally for money rotation and all other things but never no company have cancelled any of cards , so the system is flawed

Yes there will always be those going to abuse credit cards & such ppl cards will be cancelled by credit card companies as per T&C.my point is companies should not be issuing card to people as there will chances that people will abuse it , so the only way to completely stop the misuse is to ban credit cards completely as a means of payment instrument ensuring for the benefit of the companies

Bad?? No. Even bad is good. They are downright evil.

Every card company mention in their T&C "they reserve the right to cancel card/forfeit rewards in case of fraudulent behaviour" so what exactly is your issue with companies following on this condition or you mean to say any rule or law should be followed only if it is convenient else not.i never uttered a single word about court and stop comparing court to credit card companies ,these are entirely diff things .you should reads the basic definition of a court and a credit card to learn the difference

Only punishment differs but both are rules to be followed. You seem to think that credit card companies T&C which you agree to while applying for a card & which are legally enforceable are a joke while credit card company charging you wrongly is a serious issue requiring legal intervention.I mean to say that if two entity works on rule it doesn't mean they both are same or equal .

demerius2020 wrote:We are not discussing English grammar, only thing you need to keep in mind is these two words "legal enforceability". All the T&C you agree to while applying for any credit card/financial service has this(aka legal enforceability). That is why nobody has ever been able to successfully reclaim their cancelled card/reward points for commercial usage on retail credit cards.there is diff between rules and terms, also if u seems to think that all this is jokes , then u r wrong and maybe need to check what u seem to think

Bad?? No. Even bad is good. They are downright evil.
