Congratulations Jay and thank you for this elaborate and informative post. Coming to the last part of your post on payment through the burgundy debit card, which Axis platform are you referring to? I am unable to do it on the Bill Pay section either through the app or their website.
I did the same thing not just for 1st installment but have been paying subsequent under construction installments also on card. And yes have Citi gold too so double dip. Had tried with small payment on axis to see points credited for txns and then ended up doing larger amount but 8L payment through Icici epm didn’t give reward points. M4B, Atlas, Infinia did give full points though it may change post 20th June for axis with category of merchant being considered instead of Mcc
Congratulations Jay..even i have done the same although planning was not this meticulous..but hope people don't start abusing the cards now..anyways this abuse is nothing when compared to the way many builders abuse buyers
This aint an abuse..absolutely not..but then when such thing becomes popular then the abuse starts..may be builders stop accepting cards after sometime..may be
Yes banks or even regulator will initiate then builders might have to stop..also it depends on mcc..with few developers online transactions are not property mcc and accrue points while POS transactions are the one where fee is charged
Great post, super detailed!! please do a new post one on how you’re using edge rewards and redeeming flights by transferring to group B partners, as you’d have exhausted group A In a wink.
You talked about Two Atlas, but why Two Magnus, though? Specially Magnus have much higher point transfer limit and also when using two Magnus you're doing the first 1.5L two times, so earning less points.
Is it because of you hitting shared credit limit across your [Magnus + Atlas] in total?

Which part of this is abuse?

Why would builders stop accepting cards? They are getting their money, they are asking buyers to pay the MDR. They don’t lose out on anything.
It is the banks that give you points, not the builders. So if anything, it is the banks that might change policies.
With online payments there is no MDR also
Yes banks or even regulator will initiate then builders might have to stop..also it depends on mcc..with few developers online transactions are not property mcc and accrue points while POS transactions are the one where fee is charged
Excellent Post👏! Will be super useful for home buyers! & Congratulations too Jay!
Much thanks Lokesh.

Great post Jay. Very detailed and shows the work put behind. Many Congratulations on your first home!!
Any idea if you can pay your emi using the burgundy debit card? Does SBI allow?
How do you pay a Home Loan EMI using debit card? Not that I am aware of.
