amaze rewards exclusions
amaze payments to the below merchants are excluded from amaze rewards (InstaPoints) eligibility.
However, you can earn unlimited InstaPoints on both domestic and foreign currency spends made through your amaze wallet at all other merchants.
Please note: MCCs are assigned by payment card organisations (e.g. Visa, MasterCard). Instarem does not have a say in the assignation of these codes. A merchant’s registered MCC may not always correspond with its nature of business.
