As the name would signify, a voucher is a special offer that is credited to your account. It is generally done when you pay the merchant partners of CardBuzz or even the company itself. Not only can you get these while paying through the card, but the vouchers can also be acquired when you pay via the online options. However, you have to remember that the voucher needs to be used before it crosses the expiry date. The types of vouchers are quite widespread, and hence we have tried to put forth a clearer understanding of all the sections:
Once the expiry date is surpassed, the voucher will render zero benefits Irrespective of the merchant partner you are opting for. The balance amount will also be withdrawn and won't show anymore in your CardBuzz account.
If the vouchers are from big brands, a voucher code will be sent to the phone number registered in the form of SMS. You need to use this code when you make the purchase. All you would need to do is remember to select the "voucher" option before completing the payment.
The treats and offerings can be consumed by using CardBuzz Pay Cards.
Not really. You cannot transfer voucher balances to cash balances. However, you can buy gift vouchers from Cash Balances.
Note - You can’t transfer voucher balances either to a bank account or cash balances.
It depends upon the category a customer belongs to. Even though each of our customers is our valuable asset, their prepaid cash balance limit depends upon the plan they have opted for. You can anytime increase the limits of the prepaid account by getting in touch with us at support@cardbuzz.in.
Note - You can’t transfer voucher balances either to a bank account or cash balances.
Yes, it does. The procedure is as follows:
An e-gift voucher is a great option if you want to gift your family or friends. All you would need to do is select the amount and the specific genre of the voucher that you would like to gift them with. Once selected, you have to enter the mobile number and choose the "gift now" option. The voucher will be sent to the recipient number and, the equivalent amount will be deducted from your CardBuzz prepaid account.
When you get an e-gift voucher, most certainly there should be an SMS sent to you which carries the code. The process is simple, and you would need to enter this code while you make the payment for the purchase. However, it is also advised that you check the terms and conditions of the e gift voucher before you redeem the same.
It is according to the will of the receiver that when he or she would like to use the e-gift voucher. However, that has to be finalized before the expiry date of the same. If the expiry date is surpassed, the e-gift voucher will be deemed useless.
It is not possible to get a refund into your prepaid account by not using an e- gift voucher. However, you can always check the terms and conditions of the e-gift voucher before gifting or using the same.
As the name would specify, data gifting involves gifting your friends and family a certain amount of data plan. You can choose the desired amount, and this will get debited from your CardBuzz account successfully.
This one is a specific type of reward and is solely issued by CardBuzz itself. It can be used for a plethora of services, be it for making transactions or even for gifting. Although they are quite similar to the CardBuzz cash balance, there is a poignant dissimilarity. You cannot transfer the treats to your account and get them as cash benefits.
To make any of the payments mentioned, you first have to log into your CardBuzz mobile application and tap on the section of "Recharge and Bills Payment".
If you want to make a prepaid recharge, all you need to do is enter the mobile number, and choose the recharge plan. You also have to select the operator and then make the transaction.
In the case of bill payment, the process is similar, and you would need to enter your operator and your mobile number. Once the bill amount pops up, you can make the payment.
On successful completion of the recharge, your CardBuzz mobile application will portray the message. You will also receive an SMS update from your service provider, and an email will be sent from CardBuzz.
This implies that the transaction was successful by CardBuzz, and there is some problem that is encountered by your mobile network operator. Once the mobile network operators send the update to CardBuzz, you will also receive the same and understand whether the payment was successful or you have to do it again.
In most cases, for postpaid bill payment, the confirmation is received in 24 hours. However, in case you have not received the updates even after 24 hours, it is advised that you get in touch with your specific network operator or can even seek help from support@cardbuzz.in with the required details.
In case the prepaid or postpaid payment fails do not worry as the money is completely in safe hands. Some of the poignant reasons why the transaction might have failed include - a delay from the mobile network providers end, unavailability of the recharge plan, network problems resulting in an unsuccessful transaction. The failure of a recharge or bill payment automatically signifies that the amount will be credited to your CardBuzz account.
In the case of both prepaid recharge or postpaid bill payments, the amount has to be at least INR 10 at a minimum. The maximum amount is INR 10000.
In case the prepaid account shows an insufficient amount, you have to keep loading your prepaid account. It has to be ensured before you can make the desired payment.
The limit is restricted at 5 transactions per day, and this includes all the variants be it DTH payment, recharge, electric or gas payment and even the payment for your broadband network. The limits can also change at intervals..
It wouldn't be a problem to pay multiple times for the same number by using CardBuzz. Although it is advised that you give a minimum time interval of twenty minutes before you repeat recharge for the same number.
Quite a few reasons can be held accountable for the failure of bill payment. Some of the most plausible ones include network delay from the server's end, invalid customer account number or ID entered and even network issues. The refund will be initiated between 24- 48 hours in your CardBuzz account.
Sometimes, the payment request might take unprecedented time to incase of network issues. In that case, wait till the completion of the transaction and do not leave the screen..

In case of a DTH recharge just choose the DTH option and the respective operator as well. Next, you would need to input your consumer id and make the respective payment. In case of data recharge, you have to put in the number, operator and the plan for successful payment.
There could be quite a few reasons why your recharge for DTH or data card might fail. Some of the most plausible ones include- delay from the operator, unavailability of the desired plan and connectivity problems failing a transaction. In case, any of these happen your money will be refunded to your CardBuzz prepaid account.
There might be sometimes related problems one can face due to the discrepancy in network issues. In that case, you have to wait for the transaction to get completed and not leave the screen unless successful completion of the same.
The CardBuzz prepaid account can be used for the successful payment of the mentioned genres. For that, you have to firstly select the CardBuzz pay option in the application itself and then choose the option for Recharge and Bill Payment. You have to input the customer ID and other relevant details for payment of electric bill while for the gas bill you have to select the respective provider, account details and the amount.
When it comes to the payment of landline bills, you must select the service provider, bill amount and the number as well. After this, you can move forth with the successful payment of the amount.

You can transfer your cash from the CardBuzz prepaid accounts to your bank account. However, you have to be a KYC approved client of CardBuzz. The process is simple, and you would need to enter your bank details and select the option for transfer. This option can be found in the CardBuzz application itself. However, do remember that the cash transaction is done by following the NEFT standard rules.
For both e KYC and KYC clients, the standard amount remains fixed at Rs. 25000 per day and Rs. 50000 per beneficiary month.
You do not have to pay any charges if the limit is up to Rs 500 per month. However, if the amount surpasses that, there is a certain charge that is levied. The rate is around 2.75% and is subjected to change as well. It is always advised that you check the rate in the application before making the payment.
If you enter the wrong bank account number, there are two possibilities. Firstly in case of an invalid account number, the transaction will fail, and the amount will be deposited in your prepaid account in 2-3 working days. However, if the account number is valid, the transaction will be successful, and the account holder will receive the money. If the latter happens, it would not be possible to get a refund unless one has consent from the recipient. To avoid these hassles, it is always advised to check the bank account number minutely.
As the name suggests, this option can be used to send money to friends and family. It is, however, not mandatory that the recipient needs to have a CardBuzz prepaid account. Once you send the money, a notification SMS will be sent along with the link to download the application. On successful downloading and registration, the money will be credited to the CardBuzz prepaid account.
In case you want to send money at first, you would need to log in to your CardBuzz prepaid account. Next, you must tap on the send money option and select the recipient. Once that has been done you have to mention the amount and the short text describing why the amount is being transferred. Once you tap on the send money option, it will get debited successfully, and the person receiving will also get a confirmation SMS.
If the person you are sending the money to does not have a CardBuzz premium account, he or she must download as well as complete the registration process. On successful completion, the amount will be credited to his or her account. However, in case, the limit process is more than 3 days, the money will be credited back to your account.
It can be saved with conviction that the person will receive the money almost instantly on successful completion of the transaction. Once you tap on the "send money" option the amount will be credited, and the person will receive an SMS confirmation carrying the same details.
The limit is uniform for both full KYC as well as e KYC clients. You can choose to transact up to INR 5,000 in each transaction, and a total of INR 10000 can be transacted in a month.
It is a futile process unless and until you have written consent from the recipient to whom you have wrongly sent the amount. That is why it is always advised that you check in the details before sending them, as it calls for a lot of unwanted hassle.
It is a very rare cause, and in case something like this happens you have to check if the details entered are correct or if the recipient has completed his or her CardBuzz registration and is a premium account holder. In case both of these situations are taken care of, just write to us at support@cardbuzz.in and your queries will be resolved in a jiffy.
