I am not 100 % Sure
But they credit CB on the basis of entry on Statement not on affiliate basis so you will get CB
Hi,
I have recently made a purchase on Amazon through Smartbuy for 5% cashback using HDFC Credit card. But I have initiated a return of the order on Amazon while selecting the refund source as Amazon pay balance. So, my question is, whether 5% cashback from Smartbuy will still be credited or Smartbuy/HDFC would know that the specific Amazon order has been refunded via Amazon pay balance rather than via reversing the credit card transaction? Anyone has any idea on how this works?
Thanks!

@sbvkrishna Pls update if you get cashback incase you’re choosing apay as mode of refund
Sure , we will know after some time
There will be two transactions credit and debit
HDFC acts very strangely, nobody can confirm this. I have got smartbuy rewards for cancelled txn, cancellation refund was in next statement. But haven’t see any negative deduction from my reward points, even though I had expected it.
@sbvkrishna feeling is that you will get to keep the CB, but do update please.
i have hdfc millania cc if I bought Amazon fresh and flikart grocery through smartbuy link will I get 5% cb ?
@Amrit. 5% cb on Amazon/Flipkart through Smartbuy has Grocery (Amazon Fresh) orders excluded – https://offers.smartbuy.hdfcbank.com/offer_deta...
Smartbuy cb can be reversed even after many months.

Yeah, but how would HDFC know about the cancelled order if there is no corresponding reversal transaction in the card statement

HDFC is basically providing cashback as it is a part of Amazon’s affiliate tracking program, so Amazon can inform HDFC about cancelled orders and HDFC can reverse the cashback provided.
Small update:
Since I used HDFC Millennia credit card which has card benefit of 5% cashback on Amazon, i have received this 5% as reward points. Have to see if this will get reversed in future or not
Update: Received the 5% Smartbuy Cashback for the cancelled order. Have to see if it gets reversed in future or not
did it get reversed at any point if time in the past few mths?
