I want to know all categories in the One card as I mostly end up in Grocery and Utility and fail to get the 5X points.
Any Suggestions?
Or tricks to complete the 3 Category transaction in a month for 5x Points??
Pay bills using onecard through payzapp. It is considered under ‘shopping’ category.
trick is to do a small transaction of any other category. I think even wallet load would count as ‘transfers’ separate category.

Transfers are not considered for points calculation.

Some bills are considered shopping. Last week I paid LIC bill which came under shopping.
Pay in any restaurant, will come under food & dining
is 5x turns to 1% cb or 0.5% cb?
Nearly 1%

@Scorpion @sauravDD
Monthly they are running user specific offers which gives 5 % to 10 % on top of regular RPs..
Currently Electronic Diwali Dhamaka offer is going on which gives 5000 cashback on 50000 spend in electronics category.
Other than that nothing special in this card.

Hi, I have recently got onecard and it is mentioned that 3 categories are need to unlock 5X points. Is there any minimum amount needed in each category. Purchased on Amazon(electronics) and added Rs.10 on Ola money(Taxi) and Zomato wallet(Groceries) each but 5x is still locked. Can anyone help me understand if I am missing something ? Thanks

if those transactions are reflecting as transfers those are of no help. so, do some transaction in amazon, swiggy etc.

Thanks for the response. The tags shown are Electronics, Taxi/Rick/Metro and Groceries. Would it be shown as Transfers ?
Also the available points are zero and points are pending, it shows we are awaiting confirmation from merchant to settle your transaction. Do the transactions need to be settled for this to get enabled ?

just wait for few days after those transactions to get it unlocked.

Sure will wait, thanks for your help

Thanks this worked for groceries category
Thanks
This is the basic
This is the basic idea of Rewards Points, how to earn them and how to redeem them. But there is also 5x Rewards Benefits on Top 3 Categories. I will explain that too:
- In any month, if you transact in 3 or more different categories, then for the top 2 Categories your rewards points will be multiplied by 5.
- For example: If you transact for ₹500 for Ordering Packet Food Items (Grocery), ₹500 for Booking Movie Tickets,(Entertainment), and ₹100 for Train Tickets (Travel) Booking in any month, then, for those transactions, Rewards Points will be 5x the usual 0.2% rate. So, you will be getting 1% rewards points for those two categories.
- If you spend in more categories, other than 3, then your points will be 0.2% only, for those categories.
- The categories where you will receive 5x points (1% rewards points) will keep changing depending on your purchase type. It will auto-select the top 3 categories at the end of each month.
That’s all about the rewards points. I hope I am clear. If you still have doubts, do let me know in the comments below, I will be happy to help. Let’s move towards the charges associated with OneCard.

Same with me. Swiggy add money txn is failing.
Add Rs 1 in bigbasket for grocery category, Rs 10 in freecharge for bills category, olamoney is sometimes counted as travel and sometimes taxi/rick/metro
