I use MobiKwik and get a cashback of 1% upto ₹200 but most of the time it gives maximum ₹10 or ₹15 and then use my SBi Debit Card to complete the payment which gives me around 0.50% returns.
If accounts for 1.5% total cashback.
Even I'm looking for some alternative...

With every SBI account be it of any Varient along with any Debit Card ( mine is virtual with zero annual charge), rewards are provided on SBI REWARDZ portal for every ₹200 spend you get 2 reward point and for virtual card you get 4 points for ₹200 spend ( 2 reward and 2 bonus) so it's better to close your Physical Debit Card if not required and use the virtual card if you are worried about the annual charges.

I forget to mention you can also try HDFC Bank Platinum Debit Card, it provides 1% cashpoint but it's not a free card. For HDFC Bank minimum ₹2500 or ₹5000 is required for the maintenance balance and the Card costs around ₹750+GST.

I have HDFC savemax account and maintain 25k.
Easy shop platinum debit card is free with that.

But HDFC has stopped paying 1% on it.

Earlier it used to pay thru its billpay and then thru SBI unipay.
All methods are stopped.

Do you kno any other procedure or platform where HDFC platinum can be used to earn CB?

This rewards will only be thru SBI rewards platform or any other platform will work?

You will now earn only 0.25% reward when using the SBI Virtual Debit Card, as bonus reward points have been discontinued.(with effect from 05th june 2025) 😭

From 5th June the bonus points in Virtual SBI card has been stopped. So it's only 0.25% return. It's same for physical and virtual card now hence do not close your physical card if you need to physically swipe the same.

This method doesn't work now
This method still works if you have put auto payment of credit card bills from account. The card payment happens around 4 days prior to last date. Keep your account funded. If you try to tinker around with the amount make any manual changes then the auto payment will fail and you won't get any reward points which you can redeem.

You get SMS of this sort. If you are paying manually, the merchant will be different and you won't get any reward points.
