General Discussion/Conversation SBM Bank credit cards closure

5 Upvotes

I have/had two SBM FD Based Credit cards, Novio and Zet, which I took for building credit score. With the recent change in terms and conditions, I mailed them to close both the cards without any penalty. ( RBI rules says, you can close CC without any penalty if you are not okay with change in TnC ). I received refund of SBM ZET credit card FD with penalty deducted, mailed them again and received deducted penalty as well, so it's done and dusted.

But the NOVIO is headache, it's been 20 days since i mailed, no response, on top that I'm receiving calls from private numbers asking why are you closing card? And saying many other irrelevant things in threatening tone. Such a huge difference in teams of 2 CCs of same bank.

If anyone is planning to build credit score with FD CCs, go for major banks not these small banks who runs promotional campaigns on twitter/reddit saying if you open FD CC, you'll get 400/500 cashback etc etc.

After listening to threatening tone of that Novio person, i feel even my data is not safe with this bank. Be wise go for major banks

Help Needed/ Question HSBC CC application Rejection

Post image
3 Upvotes

In my case.

Tried last week and got rejected as employment couldn’t be verified.
I’m getting a constant payout from the broker to my savings account and selected salaried, as it asks for less information than self-employed. Gave the broker address as office address . But for the office mail ID, I gave my personal mail ID. (i have Clg mail id still active and receives mails too)

And one more thing is when I entered the office name. It is not their in their list of companies they tie up with.

Now I have sent an email stating that I have a consistent payout from the firm and a good CIBIL score. So please provide me cc.

I applied for a basic cc - Rupay cashback cc

Any idea if they will consider my application again?

At around september start , the bank froze my debit channels . No reason given . Visited branch . They told me I did transactions above my kyc limit (student) . So they asked me to do a signature update , visited my home and did a rekyc . Jump back to now , its still not open . I had 50K in it which I didnt need atm but now I need to travel and I need the zero forex card .
At one time , my ckyc records were accessed by dcb and i got a mail for it . I thought that would be the point after which it would open up . Still no update. Customer care is clueless . Went to the branch and all they say is its in process . I need that money now . The said that its in CIDD . Whatever that is . Is there any time limit for a re kyc ? Why havent they opened it yet ?

Can I do something better to get the done faster ? Is there any way to access the funds atleast .

Help Needed/ Question How to get Credit card ?

2 Upvotes

I'm a 25-year-old employee for 3 yrs with a monthyl salary of 20k and have never had a credit card. I've applied to SBI twice when my CIBIL was 720, but I was rejected for not meeting their criteria because I don't have enough monthly transactions. I just want one for emergencies, but no bank will approve me. My score dropped to 702 for no reason, even though my salary account is with SBI. My cousin doesn't even work or have any transactions, yet they have an HDFC card with an 80k limit. Can anyone help me figure out how to get a card?

Help Needed/ Question HDFC Swiggy upgrade issues

2 Upvotes

I recently got an email from HDFC Swiggy that I have to choose between the Orange or Black credit card as they have phased the current one out. This email was sent on 9th October but I didn't see it. Just saw it today.

Now when I go to the link on the email and enter the OTP from registered number it tells me that I have the best card they have to offer and nothing more.

On the swiggy app as well there seems to be no change. All orders also show 10% cashback on it currently. I did get a few calls from HDFC in between but I couldn't receive them

What version of the card will I get. Anyone else faced a similar issue?

If someone was able to get it working for additional, a comment / DM with the steps to get that additional cashback would be highly appreciated.

Help Needed/ Question SBI Credit card application issue

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to apply for an SBI credit card, but I’ve run into a bizarre technical issue on their application portal. The field for the First Name only allows a maximum of 10 characters.

My actual first name is longer than 10 characters. If I cut it short to fit their system, it won't match my PAN or Aadhaar card, which will obviously lead to an automatic KYC rejection.

Has anyone with a long first name dealt with this legacy system bug at SBI Card before?

• How did you get past the application stage?

• Did you use a specific abbreviation that didn't mess up your KYC?

• Is there a way to force an offline/physical application through an agent where they can override this?

Appreciate any advice or workarounds you guys might have. Thanks!

Card Recommendation Is Pop Club Credit Card worth it?

1 Upvotes

I've been using pop upi from the last two months and I found the cashback to be good.

I ordered protein powders and creatine which was around 200-300 rupees cheaper than any other website using my pop coins.

I've also applied for POP Chop which lets me enjoy more discount.

Now, they are marketing their card again with 0 annual and joining fee valid till 31st March.

Is the card actually lifetime free? Or are there any hidden charges?

I'm actually looking for a lifetime free card.

My major purchases from the app would be for my lifestyle - Shoes, proteins and supplements.

Is it worth applying for the credit card? Or the UPI rewards would work jusy fine since my purchase utility is limited to a small segment?

Converting pop coins to cash is just not feasible since the deal of 10 pop coins = 1 Rupee is just trash.

I'll just redeem my pop coins through either vouchers Or pop shop.

People who have been at my place before, please suggest me some other good credit cards or UPI apps which will help me spend effectively.
