I tried to use my citi credit card but even that didn't work to purchase the coupon, so I guess it's the account that has the problem.
Will post update once I hear anything.

There is no requirement to use the same number registered with HDFC.

Yea, that's what I am doing, I also ordered a replacement card from HDFC to get a new card number so that there is no risk of their IT messing up and blocking again.

i also tried using netsafe to generate a virtual card number to avoid replacing the card but netsafe doesn't work with Diners (interestingly it also identifies Infinia as diners and doesn't work with Infinia either)

Yes, I did out of curiosity. I had already replaced the card so knew the transaction will fail. The transaction went to the OTP point and then I stopped coz that may be illegal to attempt to use a card I blocked.

makes sense for some who plans to run about 82k on Amazon during 3 days in Infinia.

Forget how stupid and flawed the campaign is where your customers don't earn any accelerators for at least 30% of their spend - and you claim 15x rewards in your marketing material! But needing to explain the promotion with 6 tables and ~100 rows x 4 columns... how does anybody at HDFC leadership think that's a good idea???

I'm planning to use my DCB for a car purchase, just wanted to double check if there is a monthly cap on the 3.3% reward return?

This is dependent on the car and dealership, so if you are trying to buy a model which is in demand, dealer may push for the extra charge. If you are buying say a Mercedes or a Audi, dealership maybe more flexible.

Thanks!
Yeah the dealer quoted a 1.8% fee so I still gain 1.5% over doing a NEFT transfer.
No cap, but the dealership may charge you a fee for swiping the card (~2%)
