When attempting to purchase an Amazon Pay gift voucher on Amazon using the Jupiter CSB credit card, Amazon displays an error message. Is there any other way to buy an Amazon Pay voucher with this card?

Looks like Flipkart is finally competing directly with Amazon Pay Vouchers.

They’ve rolled out Flipkart Pay Gift Cards, which can actually be redeemed for utility bills and phone recharges.

Quick breakdown:

Bill Payments Supported: Unlike regular Flipkart gift cards (which only work for shopping), these Flipkart Pay vouchers show up as an eligible payment method on the Flipkart bill pay section.

Discount Available: Axis Bank’s Grab Deals (Woohoo) currently has them listed at 2% off: Axis Grab Deals Portal

Redemption Page: You can use them directly on the Flipkart Bill Payment Portal.

Do share your experience with in comments. Any other nice use case for Flipkart Pay?

Sharing below a tried and tested trick to get 10% cashback on Amazon Pay GCs - quite useful for paying bills etc.

How the trick works:

Instead of buying on Amazon directly, you go to the Zepto app and buy a Physical Amazon Pay Gift Card.

1. Zepto Discount: Sometimes, Zepto gives some extra discount depending on the zip code.
2. Card Cashback: Use a card that gives 10% back on groceries (since Zepto is counted as a grocery store), you get ₹1000 back.

Steps to follow:

• Search for "Amazon Pay Physical Gift Card" on Zepto.
• Pick the ₹10,000 one as it usually has the best margin.
• Important: Before you put the OTP, check the SMS from your bank. The merchant name should be Zepto Mark / Marketplace. This ensures the bank sees it as a "Grocery" spend so you get the full reward.
• Once the physical card is delivered to your house, just scan or add the code to your Amazon Pay wallet.

Fuels expenses can add up to quite a lot and credit cards can offer decent savings.

I personally use the ICICI HPCL one but still not convinced with it.

Which is your choice for fuel expenses?

SBI Rewardsz has a tier system, and it’s a quite beneficial for bill payments.

Tier Breakdown:

* Elite: 2X multiplier
* Affluent: 1.5X multiplier

Refer to second pic for details.

I’m elite and with the multiplier got 0.5% cashback.

This is in addition to the card rewards and super low effort.

Limit is 2,750 monthly.

If you have a decent amount of money on your Pluxee (formerly Sodexo) meal card and are tired of the usual food/grocery restrictions, there’s a workaround that has worked for me for converting the balance into Amazon Pay gift cards.

I've converted 50k worth of Pluxee funds already.

Details

Pluxee/Sodexo cards normally have restrictions that prevent them from being used for gift cards and other non-food purchases. However, there appears to be a brief delay in the way Zepto's payment system checks the card's eligibility during checkout.

How I did it

1. On Zepto, search for Amazon Pay Physical Gift Card and add the required denomination to your cart.
2. Proceed to checkout and choose Debit/Credit Card as the payment method.
3. On the card-payment screen, enter the expiry date and CVV first.
4. Enter your Pluxee/Sodexo card number afterwards.
5. There can be a very brief window where the payment button becomes active before the card restriction is applied. If you are quick enough, the transaction may proceed to the next stage.
6. If you immediately get a "Card Not Allowed" or similar error, you can try entering the card details again. I found that copying the card number beforehand and pasting it after entering the other details made the process easier.

Once the payment reaches the bank's authentication page, complete the transaction using the usual Pluxee OTP.

A few things to know

• This works with the physical Amazon Pay gift cards.
• This is a bug and it could stop working at any time.
• I'd recommend trying a small denomination first rather than immediately attempting a large transaction.

Do share in the comments if its working for you. Also, just might work on Blinkit as well.

I just received a msg from icici telling me that my credit limit has been revised to 20k. Did this happen to anyone else?

Sharing a quick booking method I tested recently for Air India flights that can save you some money on your next trip.

It turns out you can bypass convenience fees and sometimes secure cheaper base fares by booking through their official chat system.

The Method: Book via WhatsApp

Air India has an official verified WhatsApp chatbot at +91 9667034444. Booking directly through this channel waives the convenience fee and occasionally offers exclusive chatbot-only discounted fares.

Here is how the pricing compared for a recent booking for 2 adults:

• Website/App Price: ₹17,500
• WhatsApp Chatbot Price: ₹16,542
• Total Savings: ₹958 instantly for the exact same flight.

How to do it:

1. Send a message to the Air India chatbot on WhatsApp.
2. Follow the automated prompts to search for your route and date.
3. Compare the total fare with the main website.
4. Complete the booking securely through the chat link if the price is lower.

It takes less than two minutes to check and is worth a look before paying full price on the website.

There’s an ongoing AJIO instant payment discount ₹1,000 off on ₹3,000+ for IDFC Credit Cards.

I have registered for using the IDFC FIRST Bank spend offer — spend ₹60K in August and get a ₹3,000 Amazon Pay voucher.

For those accumulating 24K gold coins, combining these offers is another way to reduce the effective price. Just did a purchase using this strategy.

Used Flipkart's additional 5% off (up to ₹5,000) along with ~4–4.5% discounted Flipkart Gift Vouchers purchased using the CRED IndusInd RuPay card (5% cashback).

Effective price: ₹13,688/g.
