As you might know, 10X Rewards on smartbuy has been one of the amazing ways to save money on online shopping, hotels & flights for a while now. This is now getting even better with the new feature on smartbuy portal that now sells gift cards directly.
As some of you might know, its been there for past 2 weeks but I had to delay the post to make sure it actually stays. Its tough to predict HDFC these days as to how fast they change T&C, etc 😀
With this new feature, we can now get 10X rewards even on purchase of gift cards from various brands, including but not limited to flipkart, amazon, pantaloons & lot more.
How to Avail?
- Goto this HDFC Smartbuy Page and click on Instant Vouchers Tab and proceed from there.
- Terms & Conditions
Note: Always goto any offer pages like amazon/flipkart & Gyftr in this case from HDFC Smartbuy page as we never know what/when they’ll change/update/track links in future.
So basically you can buy “almost” anything under the sun with this. That’s 33% OFF on everything, if you hold Infinia or Diners Black (upper limits applicable) as seen earlier.
Hard to Believe, Isn’t it?
Yes, I get that! I’ve checked with Diners support multiple times and they did re-confirm that instant vouchers are also part of Smartbuy 10X program.
A couple of other readers have also reported that they’ve received the 1X & 9X points on gift card purchases.
So its sure that it is working well as of 6th Nov 2019 and just incase if you’re not aware, the smartbuy 10X program has also been extended through Nov 2019 (without any blackout days like in the past).
Whatsoever the case, the thumb rule with HDFC is, whenever there is any promotion with no proper T&C, always call support and get their word before you transact, so that there will be a record to refer in future, just incase if anything goes wrong.
My Thoughts
These days its interesting to note that every brand is getting into all kinds of business where the money is. If you look closer, with the HDFC Smartbuy portal, the bank is getting into many other businesses other than banking, as smartbuy portal acts as a OTA, e-commerce portal and now a gift card company.
If any of these categories on Smartbuy works well for them, who knows, they may even build their own brand from scratch to increase their bottomline.
Whatsoever, this is an amazing opportunity to rack up some reward points for your next vacation. Remember, this offer maybe short lived as you can see where it’s heading to.
Until then, grab the points and stay loyal to the Bank 😊
Yes, it’s an amazing offer
Got 10x points on smartbuy + 900cashback(linited amazon flight offer) on my current flight booking… will enjoy till it lasts
Amazon vouchers not longer available at the moment , say get added later
And I’m not surprised 😀
Probably fellow readers may have maxed out their monthly smartbuy quota already
Egv cannot be used to buy another Egv.
How can they track if I am buying egv via egv or not?
Guilty
11nov: now hdfc has removed the amazon and flipkart giftcards.
Anyone knows when these giftcard available again.
@mt
I had no issues with 2k amazon voucher purchased on 6th Nov. I think every customer has a max limit of purchase. But again someone commented that they have purchased 45k gift voucher from Amazon.
How do we track whether we got the points for amazon voucher and when exactly can we expect. Any options to check in net banking for reward points?
I purchased 45k Amazon Voucher. I got points credited within 3 to 4 days.
What is the validity of the amazon pay vouchers? I have Infinia CC and wanted to know validity prior to purchasing to avoid expiry of vouchers.
Best way is to call and check
After using excel sheet for long to track 10x expenses, I have now started using a app (from past 6 months) that helps me track 10x among many other things. Much relieved after this.
which app are you using to track? this is a pain to track the points
@Rampy
I would also like to know the app.
Thanks in advance.
I bought vouchers for 2k yesterday afternoon…
and in the evening .. not available…
very sad… dont know when they wil be available as this would have given us immediate points … instead of waiting for 90 days from the end of the month 🙁
From whom you asked,i doubt they will ever add this
Amazon vouchers are back.
Again gone as on 8 Nov 10pm
I didn’t buy Amazon till now doubting if they will honor. Today read your post, confirmed on couple of other websites as well and now Amazon is out of stock. 😔 Being infinia card holder, should have bought 50k Amazon earlier. Useful in all utilities bills and everything else.
they are back for now (as of writing this comment on 8th nov… and you can read in below comments by fellow readers that 10x points are being credited
Maxed out with Amazon Pay vouchers already for this month! 10x points also credited with a TAT of 3 days. Incredible!
@saurab
How did you confirm that you got points for Amazon voucher in 3 days ? Did you get any sms for points. Also is payzapp required for cc 10x points . For debit card it is mentioned that payzapp has to be registered and it would be credited on that.
Access your Account Information through netbanking on daily basis, and keep a track of “RP balance – Current”. You’ll get a hang of it within a week and will be able to track RP postings with the simple 5 RP on 150 for 1x and 45 RP on 150 for balance 9x RPs.
No SMS notifications. Though I’m registered with PayZapp, but I’m not sure if that affects the 9x RP posting.
@Saurab
Thanks a lot. It works. Now i want to know if we buy Amazon voucher for 2000. Then is this correct (2000/150) * 5= Approx 66 * 9 =594 and remaining 1x during statement or we are suppose to get 10x completely . Also what happens if transaction amount is Rd 195 or 800. Generally points are given for every 150 spent so remaining 45 and Rs 50 excess amount how is it calculated 🙂 It is practically impossible to match what we get and what we are suppose to get.
Excess 45 or 50 rs do not accrue points in your example… if you do Rs. 299 transaction , you still walk with 5 points only for the first 150rs , rest 149rs do not accrue points… this is HDFCs system of calculation
You get 5 points for FULL 150 spent (assuming infinia / DCB). Even on Rs. 299.99 spending, you get 5 points as per 1x. Add 9x, it would be additional 45 points only.
So for Rs. 2000 spend, it would be 1x = 65 points immediate, and 9x = 585 points later. Total is 650 points only.
You always get points in multiple of 150. This way it will always match your calculation. If tx amount is Rs195, you get 5 points and not in fractions.
Wondering how could we verify the credit of 1x and 9x reward points before the statement generation? Is there a way?
Keep tracking using netbanking. I maintain an excel sheet.
Check “Current Points” in you CC statement on netbanking
Call n ask
They respond
What is the validity of the amazon pay vouchers? I have Infinia CC and wanted to know validity prior to purchasing to avoid expiry of vouchers.
When were blackout days there on smartbuy 10x?
Not showing on Infinia SB portal
Everytime I call the customer care up to confirm a ongoing offer, and no one there has any clue about it.
Does 10x also work if we logon to smartbuy –> amazon–> buy gift vouchers??
probably not if you end up buying gift vouchers/flights,amazon pay wallet reload ,etc… i suggest go via Instant vouchers on the SB portal , many readers (i got 10x for 31st oct transaction) are reporting 10x points being honored , and plus you can get any additional cashbacks which respective websites offer ( i got 450 extra cashback ..i.e 900 cashback – 450 convinience fee) on amazon flight tx on 3 rd nov
No.
Is this applicable for Regalia as well?
I have two queries before availing this amazing offer. Maybe someone who has availed it already can help.
1. Do we need to log in to the GYFTR website? or just Smartbuy login is sufficient?
2. Many GV have BOGO where in the get one is a promo code. What exactly is the promo code? is it for the same brand or for some other product?
Thanx
Neil
1 no
2 some other brand
Amazon vouchers no longer available.
Can we use the Amazon and Flipkart Voucher for buying gold coins?
Ofcourse
Hi Sid, thanks for the update!
I had a question regarding combining rewards points in Diners black.
In November, suppose i buy a flipkart voucher worth 45K I will be eligible for 15,000 points.
And in January I buy IPhone 11 pro on smart buy using both 45k voucher and 55k as payment via CC, will my net savings be 30,000 points? I wanted to know if we can combine and delay the purchase for extra reward points?
You can go for emi option. There is further instant discount on Flipkart
Yes should be possible..
For sure. Also why don’t you accrue 33333 points? Nov & Dec: 30K points on 90K, Jan: 3333 points on rest 10K (either GV or through smartbuy).
Anybody confirm Money back cards eligible for this 10× points offer..?
Nope , you will get 5% cashback upto rs 1000
Now I am using smartbuy for shopping and booking tickets with MoneyBack credit card and Millennia debit card, can you inform me where I will get cashback for credit card transactions? In Payzapp wallet or in credit card statement?
Ugh. Exhausted the limit on my DBC already 😐
Whats the validity for flipkart and amazon voucher? I am holding Infinia CC and don’t want to get the vouchers expire.
1year
“Buy any ABC Gift Voucher and Get Complimentary Promo Code Free”
This is what most of the brand vouchers are saying, and almost all primo codes having BOGO in the offer name.
Does that mean that apart from the 33% points, there is some additional offer on these voucher purchases?
Anyone who purchased these vouchers pls reply..
Thanks!
its usually a voucher code for another product… i got 300 rs worth PVR promo code on 31st oct when i bought amazon vouchers …this offer no longer exists for november , but it may be similar for other vouchers also
On a different issue…would anybody advise what is the best use of payback points…sitting on load of them !
Do cashback via mobikwik it is the best option u will get ur pac back point into mobikwik cash like paytm cash
most of Paybak redemption options are valued at 0.25 rs per point , from fuel(for ICICI HP card) to bookmyshow to brands , lot of redemption options
yes..it still shall only give 0.25 rs per point…was trying to find out whether there is a way to get more out of payback points !!
You can take Amazon voucher
amazon pay vouchers added 🙂
Yay!
Do you have link? I am trying to find it but can’t.
Got.. opened flipart page and changed the word flipkart to amazon in the link. Ordered 5K.
What is the validity of the amazon pay vouchers? I have Infinia CC and wanted to know validity prior to purchasing to avoid expiry of vouchers.
I can’t see Amazon pay vouchers through instant vouchers link on smartbuy page. I have cleared browser and cookie history and retried.
And finshed within a few hours !
Is the max limit on points applicable to only 10x or total points accrued including normal spends? I have taken 75K amazon vouchers 🙂 Now wondering if I get the normal 5points per Rs150 for my other spends.
10x limit , normal points are unlimited
Kalyan,
The cap is only on the incremental 9X. You will continue to earn the 1X even after exhausting your monthly quota
Only to the 10x point and not to the normal points.
Kalan
10x limit is there as per card per month. For DCB it is 15,000 points meaning spend of Rs. 45,000/-. For infinia, 25,000 points meaning Rs. 75,000/-. 10x includes basic points of 3.33%. You get 9x bonus points after 90 days. This includes all smartbuy transactions.
Any more than above and you’ll only get 3.33% and no 9x.
Leave something for others 😛 😛 😀
If you used DCB, then you will get 10x till 50k, balance you will get 1x.
for the balance 25k, actually no use getting from smatbuy as buying from Amazon will also fetch you the same 1x.
Different story if you have Infinia(83,333 Limit)
I have noticed one thing on SmartBuy portal that quite a lot of items are very expensive as compared to their actual rates. For example , I tried to book a very decent Hotel in Mumbai on SmartBuy portal and the rate quoted was 6900 whereas I could book the hotel directly from their website at 3200+GST. Many more similar examples too. Yes, of course , there would be many excellent buys too like IPhone XR etc. Pls correct me if I am wrong somewhere
This is correct. Flights fares are more at par with other websites.. hotel fares u need to compare.
Sold out at 2 pm. Still bought 35000 vouchers
AMAZON VOUCHERS not available once again 🙁 🙁 🙁
This is indeed a great addition to the already most rewarding card portfolio … Just wondering what happens if we cross the 15k for DCB/25k for Infinia threshold for smartbuy transactions? Will we get 1x for the spend above threshold?
Also the 15k/25k threshold is for 9x reward points or 10x reward points?
Trying to understand the nuances so that we can maxout on the benefits. Thanks!
the Threshold is for 9X. and for any spends beyond, you will continue to get 1X.
Seems like amazon GC not working again. 🙁
Now both Flipkart and Amazon GVs are gone.
Even Flipkart vouchers are gone now !
Both Flipkart and Amazon pay vouchers are not available. Customer care does not have any clue whey will be back.
The way these gift vouchers are going looks like 10x for flight and hotel would be gone since people can make more points through flight. Flipkart and Amazon might stay since it makes no sense to give gift voucher but not to shop through smart buy.
I hope they bring limit to these Amazon, flipkart vouchers 🙂since many are not able to get it.
Any way to know as soon they come back in stock?
Keep checking
Bought 5k Myntra voucher and got 1k myntra voucher free. The 5k voucher has a 1 yr validity so can be used for any of the big sales that come. Who knows if Myntra would be a 10x partner then?
Wish the Amazon voucher would come back. Never got a try at that.
Ola and uber voucher also seem good; for all those transactions that slip out as they are less than 150/- ( Ola) or non premiere ride (uber).
Hi, George, did you get 1k GV or promo code?
thanks
Hi Gaurav,
The 1k was a promo code and a bit of a let down.. actual value was rs 300/- off on a Ra 5000/-purchase.
But no harm done, anyways the idea was to buy and stockpile the Myntra gv code for one of the end of season sales through the year so I’m still quite happy.
Regards
George
Is there any validity for 1K myntra voucher which you received as free?
3 months
The site says get Rs 1000 promo code. Is it the same as Rs. 1000 GV? I dont think so. Are there any T&Cs for usage for the 1000 promo code?
Hey, what is the TnC for the Myntra 1k voucher ? Looks like even if we buy the 500 voucher we will egt the 1k voucher free

Myntra is already a 10x partner for diners cards
Yes Naresh!
Purchased in advance for end of reason sale. just in case Myntra stops being a 10x partner in the future.
Ola voucher are applicable before ride and u have to use the full voucher in one ride while uber is the best as the voucher amount is credited to the uber credits and you can use any time any ride. So dont purchase ola vouchers until ur rude is of same amount . Confirmed from gyftr cc .
Oic Aman! Thanks for the heads-up!
Can u use the ola voucher in context of ola money. I was hoping to pay multiple bills.
Hey George,
Any special TnC on the free 1k voucher?
Ola voucher is valid for single use , I bought 1000 and used it for 150 ride and it’s over now 🙁
Ohhhh :(.. Thanks for the tip.. I have bought Uber one for 500 bucks, hope its for multiple usage..
Yes uber voucher is for multiple use. I purchase 4 voucher of Rs 500 each and added to my uber account. It shows Rs 2000 as uber credit. I also have booked two cabs, for which 260 rs were spent and the remaining amount can be used for future rides.
I can confirm that Uber is for multiple use. Also buy vouchers for 1500 (Two vouchers for 1000+500) to get the max 10X benefit.
Yes. I have purchased Uber GV of 8K (at 3 different points in time) till now & they work for multiple rides.
Looks like they removed all the gift vouchers. It may not come back like payzapp.
Myntra, Ola and Uber Premier are already members of Diners 10x. Which is over and above 15k points on smartbuy.
To maximize the 10x points, use Amazon/flipkart or others which are not diners 10x to fill up 15k 10x.
DOnt waste on Myntra vouchers. (Unless you have Infinia)
The biggest advantage of amazon and flipkart vouchers is that you can double dip with jet privilege.
How??
Buy Gift card here – avail 33% rewards . Use these gift cards to shop via the jet privilege shopping link . You will get the JP miles . Few months back used DCB on JP shopping link for Bigbasket to double dip .
But there’s hardly any value left with Jet privilege now. Its on a slow death.
Lifestyle voucher which is valid on homecenter and lifestyle stores is a very good option. For diners black card it is at least 15% discount (if we take cash) and can be used during sales as well. Validity – 1 year
Got diners black lifetime free being xlri alumni
Great. I got it for free long time back
Amazon and Flipkart vouchers are getting exhausted due to Wedding Season. They make for an excellent Wedding Gift, esp Amazon Pay vouchers, due to their cash equivalent value.
Guys the gyftr smartbuy link is ” Under Maintenance ” on 13th Nov morning, wondering if there is more to it !
Any idea what is the limit on Amazon for spending on single transaction by gift card ? Also is there any limit on adding gift card per month?
They should add a limit for the vouchers per month then i think justice will be done to all, i doubt the Amazon voucher will ever come
They already have a limit… for card holders the smartbuy limit and smartbuy gyftr amazon coupons are sold out , normal gyftr website is still selling them
Any idea will it ever come or gone like payzapp
Gyftr smartbuy link is up now.
Got the reward points in 2 days. Amazing return. Bought Rs7000 ShoppersStop vouchers and git Rs500X4 the man company vouchers and 2300 points 61% return.
Mancompany voucher is useless. Let me know how it can be used. As for redemption it is asking for min cart value of 3000
What are the tnc for the man company voucher that you got?
Its says no 2 coupons or offers can be clubbed together. Its only 1 time use. No other conditions mentioned. I havent used them yet.
I have many man company vouchers now, i selected soap worth 600 and tried to apply voucher says not applicable on selected product.
These are promo code and not vouchers. cant find terms and conditions anywhere about how to use them. If some one finds out,please update here.
is 15000 limit combined for smartbuy amazon/fk etc and smartbuy gyftr? ( or are they different)
Anshul it is combined. Anything done on through or in smartbuy.
Complete smartbuy dinners club black 9x limit is 15,000 points.
I have the same doubt. Siddharth, pls clarify…
Since the terms and conditions are specified seperately under different deals, is it like we are getting upto 15000 reward points each for insta vouchers and smartbuy flights.
Its all inclusive. No separate cap for vouchers.
Can the shopperstop vouchers be used during sale periods?
Payzapp is new to me and dcb is not accepted everywhere but they accept payzapp wallet so Do we get 1x points for loading money in payzapp using dcb ?
Or it’s like we don’t get 1x but get points if we use payzapp wallet for paying gas, electricity, etc. If we don’t get then probably use master/visa card.
i checked with cc. No reward points for loading payzapp wallet and using it elsewhere.
@Suresh
I have loaded Rs 750 and I got 25 points . So loading money on payzapp gives points 🙂
Can we use amazon pay or any voucher for petrol diesel buy and earn 10x?
Hi Siddharth,
I hold both Diners black and Infinia. Do I get separate caps for both cards similar to two different consumers holding these cards? I.e. 25K for Infinia and 15K for diners? Does it combine? And hopefully I get the offer for both cards and not just one.
smartbuy points are per billing cycle or calendar month?
Per calendar month
If we buy uber coupon from amazon u get some off also around 3-7% depending on the offer going on. So better to buy from amazon.
you cant use amazon pay to buy uber gift cards. Try it 🙂
Where do I check whether my 10X rewards have been credited? My smartbuy 10X purchase hasn’t been credited in 20 days..
Account information under enquire tab after you login to your CC account on HDFC website
Hi, When will the 15000 reward point benefit of diners black card reset ? Is it the first of the month or as per the dates in credit card statement.
per Calendar Month
Have I missed the train? No more Amazon/Flipkart vouchers? Or should I expect them to reappear?
Keep checking everyday , whenever they do some , they sell like hot cakes
Hey MT or sbdy can you confirm if they reappeared after getting over the last week. I have been checking regularly but they haven’t reappeared after few days of Sid posting this thread. May be they came and went away before I could see them. Thanks.
Nope , i last saw and bought them on 8th nov
@mt
Yes 8th was last I got 2k. I think this month there will not be any more amazon /flipkart due to heavy purchase . I checked with customer care and they said they have no track when and how it gets available.
Hope its not gone forever.
Siddharth, please let me post my comment. I think my comments are getting moderated.
Was away for a week. I don’t see any of yours pending, but just cleared huge set of comments by others today.
Since HDFC doesnt give points on wallet reloads (except the millenia line or any other where they may have added ) … users can still go to normal gyftr website and buy their favourite vouchers and still walk with normal reward point earns on their respective cards… useful for me for utility bill payments when the 10x smartbuy gyftr vouchers are not available and do not possess SCB ultimate for a matching reward rate
Has anyone been able to buy Amazon vouchers after 14th Nov?
NO
Now both amazon and flipkart gift cards removed.
anyone able to use the man company vouchers? for all products it says it’s not applicable..can not find t&c
I have vouchers but havent used thought. Used the vouchers provided by MMT with no problem.
Hey Prashant
For the MMT vouchers, can we combine 2 vouchers to buy something worth 1100-1200 ?
Although I was under the impression that 9X cap is 15k points which means 50k worth flight tickets could be made, CC says it is only 45k.
Can anyone confirm based on their usage experience?
Thansk
You are right Anurag. 15K 9x points capping transaltes to 50K worth of Smartbuy spends every calendar month
It is 50k, tried and tested multiple times. On 45k, you will get 13500 points only.
Will amazon vouchers ever come back? I am hoping at least they come back when a new month starts (Dec).
Fingers crossed, but don’t expect, even amex abruptly removed its 10% cashback offer on amazon
Yes this post is immensely followed, Amz vouchers are very popular. After 1st week of Nov didn’t get anymore of it .
Ruing the fact i could have stocked them up.
i dont think amazon/flipkart will be back , as on 29th nov morning , banner has been changed , doesnt mention amazon/flipkart anymore..plus HDFC already has direct tie-ups with both websites
Amazon and flipkart as of now will never come back especially after its popularity. HDFC would never like to give something to customers which most of them would get. Since at end of day its a loss for them. Just tell me how many of us would buy KFC, Myntra or shopers stop. At max 5k for clothing but not 50 or 60k like few how they got amazon 🙂
Do not buy gyftr mobile recharge vouchers from smartbuy. They deduct 10% as some kind of service charges.
even if they do, this is still a discount right
Say you bought a 1000 rupee gyftr mobile voucher.
Here with the 10x benefit you end up earning 330 points OR 165 in cash
Nett Cash benefit is 165 – 100 = 65 bucks per 1k INR.
(Assuming 10% was deducted as service charge – you lost 100 )
Card Users pl do correct if above math makes sense or is incorrect.
They charge 25 rs for 500 recharge (5%) .. but it’s still Better since u end up saving 33%
I paid 500 and could use the entire amount for airtel postpaid
Without any deductions
Even then you’d still come out on top.
Gyftr mobile recharge is a waste
Smartbuy extended till dec end
3. The offer is valid for the period of 1st June’19 – 31st December’19
Anyone caught the Amazon or Flipkart vouchers? Did they show up at the beginning of the month?
Bought the pizza hut vouchers yesterday, got a 15% discount on top of 10x. The 1000 rs voucher was valid till Oct 2020, the 50 rs voucher till June 2020.
Thinking of hoarding clothing brand vouchers slowly in prep for end of season sale 2020.
Its getting worse then SC Ultimate redemption option that too in a month time
Amazon,Flipkart,Uber,UberEats,Lifestyle are not available for quite sometime
Uber was there till yesterday night. Disappeared this morning. I don’t think it will come back. Just like Amazon
Uber was there till yesterday. I myself brought 6k vouchers. Please use site via desktop as mobile site doesnt refresh properly.
Now Uber, Amazon, Flipkart, lifestyle all have disappeared! Anybody have any information on whether there is any plan to get these back?
Alas!
Instant gyftr vouchers are no more an option on smartbuy.
A big benefit gone. I was waiting for amazon vouchers else should’ve bought bigbasket atleast.
Can still see instant vouchers 9n smartbuy page
I too can still see Instant Vouchers option on Smartbuy. Please refresh & recheck the page.
Amazon is removed even from their website design so it would never come back. I think just to lure customers for time being this vouchers are there for the banks illegal move to increase fee for DCB. In few days all vouchers would be gone. All important vouchers are gone and Next for sure Big Bazaar would be gone 🙂
But atleast i am grateful that something came rather than relying 10x on flight/hotels.
Both uber and bigbasket are available now. Purchase worth 9k each.
Big basket voucher is one time use or does it get credited to wallet for use over multiple orders. T&C are not very clear
It’s multiple times usage. Can add to wallet and keeps deducting from wallet.
Bigbasket vouchers are credited to the wallet.
Can be used over a period of time till the amount is exhausted.
Did anyone ever see the Amazon or Flipkart vouchers come back again?
Is anyone able to redeem the man company vouchers. It gives an error. Where to complain. As in the complain dropdown the company name is not there.
I raised a complaint with themancompany. They said that the voucher is applicable on minimum spends of Rs.1199.
Can anyone please suggest how to maximize benefits in MMT?
Planning to book a holiday package (ex flights) of Rs.40K. Now the problem is, I can use maximum of 15K GV (as smartbuy have max 5K denomination MMT GV and max 3 GVs can be clubbed). Is there any way to use full 40K GV (8*5K)? There’s an option of partial payments(3). Can these payments be made by GVs?
TIA
Hi Pranab,
Often if you call MMT customer care and make the booking via the executive, what they do is send 2 payment links – 1 for immediate payment and the other for payment within 2-3 days.
Most likely you should be able to use the MMT gyftr cards to pay for the 2 transactions. I don’t know if they can split it into 3 transactions.
See if this works & let me know.
Cheers!
Post hdfc 10x update: Jan ’20
The uber vouchers are now going to be doubly useful. Will try out the ubereats as well now that swiggy has gone from 10x partners.
Has anyone used the swiggy vouchers? Can anyone confirm if the voucher amount goes to the wallet or only pays out a specific transaction.
Sadly this eats into the 15k rp limit for diners from being a 10x partner to a SMARTBUY one.
Sigh. Enjoy while the party lasts.
How are Uber vouchers doubly useful now?
How would you use the balance on Ubereats now that it has been acquired by Zomato?
About Swiggy, the voucher can be used on one transaction. Remaining amount is wasted. You cannot apply any other promocode as well.
Amazon is back as Instant Voucher on Smartbuy. However, they have put a limit on voucher, you cannot purchase more than ₹5000 worth of Amazon voucher per month.
Thanks for the update.
There is a catch with this, now all the gift voucher’s reward point will come within 90 days not in 2-3 days. There is a change in the policy which most of the people are still not aware, they have changed the gateway of giftyr,
If you check your statement now all these transaction will not have keyword of smartbuy, which means smartbuy instant voucher has become like a partner similar to amazon, myntra
its as good as buying from the partner sites rather than buying voucher
Yes , true , but it gives access to a wider gamut of sites where we can attract 10x points to our respective accounts , it ok to wait 90days for the points
@pankaj: kindly elaborate on its good to buy from partner site than the vouchers?
When purchasing the vouchers over Gyftr after being directed from the Smartbuy Website, i’m once again asked to enter my email ID and phone number.
Does this have to be my registered email ID/phone number?
I’m gifting these vouchers to someone else, would prefer to provide his email ID itself but just want to make sure that wouldn’t disqualify me from 10x Rewards.
You need to submit registered email and RMN.
They have recently started blocking the card… My INFINIA got blocked… Had to re-issue the card.
Hi Sid, Any idea whether by using add on cards, we can get more benefit on the Amazon vouchers? The limit per account per card is INR 5000 per month, can that be extended to INR 15000 using 2 more accounts for add-on cards?
The idea obviously being to get the 10X benefit on 15K rather than just 5K
I also have the same question,
Is it for the different (add- on card) or different login account on smartbuy from which vouchers can be bought as limit is 5000 which will give 10X rewards…?
I doubt if that will work. HDFC issues add on cards with the same card number and expiry date as the primary card number. Even the OTP for add on cards is sent to the mobile number linked with primary card.
Does anyone know for sure if the Rs5000 limit on vouchers via mygftr (say Amazon or Flipkart) is per partner, meaning Rs5000 on Amazon and Rs5000 on Flipkart, or Rs5000 total?
Can anybody please answer this?
5000/- for amazon and 5000/- for flipkart and total 10,000/-
Gyftr has started charging 1% of transaction value (capped at INR 50) + gst as convenience fee for instant vouchers. While it doesn’t make a huge impact in the benefits for DCB and Infinia holders, the returns for other HDFC card holders is effectively now 3.82% (instead of net 5% cash back earlier)
HDFC removed the charges now.
I bought croma vouchers worth Rs.56000 and was not charged 1%.
Is there any separate monthly limit on croma vouchers or 5000 limit on instant vouchers is combined with Amazon, flipkart, croma etc.?
I do not think there is any limit on croma vouchers. I had purchased Rs 30000 vouchers and got 7500 points on my DCB
I am not able to buy Amazon voucher for last 3 days. getting “Unable to fetch transaction” error.
I bought Amazon voucher just now and it worked perfectly.
Big Basket vouchers are not available now
Previously I was able to buy Gyft Amazon vouchers in multiple Gyftr account using the same HDFC card, or add on cards. Now I can buy only in my main account, not in family accounts. Anyone else facing the same issue ?
Yes looks like for amazon voucher, we can buy 5k only from one account now, multiple account is no longer working.
