My Dad is trying to get me an addon card. He has a SBI prime card. The app shows you're not eligible for an addon card. He is a senior citizen. Could that be the reason? Does anyone have any prior experience ?
 
Actually, its a normal card. Not corporate or PSU. Writing to SBI they say that you are not eligible. I found it very strange indeed.
Try going to branch and check why is it so...

maybe as he is now 60+, they aren't allowing additional add ons as if you (or any new add on card holder) does some expensive transactions, they aren't sure if the primary card holder would be able to pay the fees (as primary is responsible for payment, always)

Age could be the problem. He has Prime and Eithad card with limit of 9 lakh. Shall try at branch level. But it's SBI, so they simply say that they know nothing about cards 😀

if he has good relations with home branch, then try talking with BM if they can process the application via offline process

They might even go for early lunch break when they don't the solution also. Just SBI things.
 
Try with sbi card website, my father gets the same error of not eligible on sbi card application, but no error on their website to apply for add on card
Thanks a ton. This method did work 🙂
Did they re-issue primary card when you apply for add-on card? As SBI Card creates account number with the card number in credit reports, have you checked if you old primary card account number has been replaced by new card number or they closed old primary card account and created new account with the new card number, can you confirm this?

In my case there was no change to primary number or its entry in CIBIL. For the addon card a new card with new number was issued.

You applied add-on card for which sbi card?

In my case they have have changed my primary card number of simplyclick card, add-on card not generated yet. I'm waiting for both cards to be delivered.

I saw on youtube that his primary card has been reissued with add-on card.

Thats surprising. I have applied for 2 addons for Prime MC World and Etihad cards. For both the primary was left untouched and new addon was issued. Last year also had applied for 2 addons for Simply click.
