HDFC is largest in terms of credit cards & they looks to be on spree of curtailing benefits.

With regards to wallets & digitization, it’s known fact to all banks that wallets helped people churn but none did anything earlier.
Of late all offers they bring exclude wallets
One case being Indusind rewardz Diwali 2016 excluded wallet loading

But who prefers to use wallets these days when there are hardly any genuine offers by big players! Being used only to attain spending thresholds on cards.

I don’t understand the explanation from them for points those were reduced in last 2 bills(around 1000 points reversed) even there was was no refund, I got following reply when I raised this issue with them.

Thank you for writing to us.

This is with reference to your e-mail regarding reward points adjusted on your HDFC Bank International credit card account.

At the outset, we sincerely regret that our services have given you cause for dissatisfaction. We wish to reassure you that we are committed to consistently providing outstanding services to our valuable customers like you and we offer our sincere apologies for the inconvenience faced in this instance.

Further to your query regarding reversal of Reward Points in your credit card statement dated May 2017, request you to kindly note that Bank on periodic basis conducts reconciliation of reward points accrued. It was identified that there were excess point credits to your card account between the period from 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2016. The same was accordingly rectified on your card account by debiting the excess reward points, in your credit card statement in May 2017. *

This is very abrupt & rare response.
On the contrary mostly they don’t credit correct points.
I actually raised it got around 3000 points credited last month from ICICI.
@disclaimer Bro as you know mine is ICICI Rubyx Visa card with shopping plan so I should get 4 point for that & for rest I should get 2 points.
There was erratic credits sometimes 2 sometimes 4 for same merchant. On raising it I got to know my card rewards plan was still Amex one (I got Rubyx lifetimes free in lieu of Amex gold) which has 3 points structure. They couldn’t explain that why I never got 3 points. But they checked records & credited 3000 points & that is really too much. I like ICICI customer service for such indepth analysis by cc & perfect resolution.
Hdfc cc is useless.

How will they differentiate between a purchase and an e-wallet topup for eg. paytm?

Good question .
Only merchant name like paytm mall can differentiate.

So can we order on mall and cancel it..?

Do you guys actually collect enough points to warrant a discussion like this?
I never understood what is the deal with these points and air privilege miles
You keep then collecting for months and the amount is no greater than a few hundreds or thousand at best
Then why waste your energy and time about a promotion that is too miniscule in amount
Or is there something that I am missin
Open to all kind of suggestions

10x rewards on diners translate to 15-33% return if redeemed on diners portal.

Just noticed the following change in HDFC credit card T&Cs.

GST levied will not be reversed on Any dispute on Fee & Charges / interest.”

Not sure if other banks have also adopted such blood-sucking policies after the introduction of GST. This is probably a feature of the GST structure itself. https://cdn0.desidime.com/smileys/w7MSP.gif

They also removed the dth/recharge redemption option for Black card holders also any redemptions would now be charged at 99+tax. These would be effective from 15thAug

Deal Lieutenant Deal Lieutenant

Recharge option to be removed for all, people report frequent transaction failures for travel bookings so the card will become more of a headache.

Was redemption not charged for black cards earlier?
