Rewards on UPI Spends
Tata Neu Infinity CC is at the moment crediting base RPs i.e. 1.5% Neucoins on fee through UPI fee mode, which is nice.
HDFC Financial institution days again got here out with a notification that it’s going to restrict RPs to 500 per thirty days on all HDFC Rupay CCs on UPI transactions. This implies max. spends might be ~ 33334/- per thirty days in an effort to get 500 RPs.
As we get NeuCoins right here and never RPs, this appears little ambiguous. In observe although I’ve been getting 1.5% on all transactions up to now. Be mindful this may increasingly change in future as per above 500 per thirty days rule.
Make hay whereas the solar shines!
Transaction Limits on UPI
- 5000 INR for first 24 hrs
- 1L per day per card
- 2L per day per card (for some particular MCC codes)
Aside from that, there isn’t any restrict to the variety of transactions carried out through linked bank card on UPI.
My pretty giant transaction through Rupay CC on UPI went efficiently. 1 extra transaction which might have taken the cumulative spends to greater than 1L, obtained failed vindicating the above transaction restrict rule.
QR Fee Expertise
Although I’ve been in a position so as to add Infinity CC to BHIM first on inaugural day itself i.e. 14th Feb 23 after which to TATA Neu, Freecharge, Payzapp as nicely inside 24 hours adopted by on Paytm (Beta model), transaction expertise on these have diversified fairly a bit. Listed here are my experiences–
- BHIM App- Flawless everytime on Paytm/Amazon QR largely & Gpay as soon as
- Payzapp- Tried twice on Paytm QR & profitable
- TATA Neu/ Freecharge- Tried on Paytm & Gpay QR, failed everytime
- Paytm- Profitable everytime
