Air India SBI Signature Card - Best Ever?
- Thread starter prince747
- Start date
I've upgraded online.
In fact I didn't not upgrade as such. I went online and applied for the card. The process was smooth, no questions asked. Manual verification was done at my place.
The only after the card was approved I was sent a message that my current card was being upgraded. Even the limit was increased 3X compared to the previous card.
How come 4?? It's 3 right??
Are you including the ticket bought from CV Points too??
Interesting.. I am in the process; let's see what gives.
VKYC is done. Waiting on next steps.
Milestone cards are meant for that only. I always have a problem in getting tickets on Vistara even 1 month in Advance.
Rewards Quota:
- 2 Business Class Tickets
- 6 PE and Economy.
Due to vast issuance of Vistara cards and FFP across many banks they are always out of quota. And they do operate on Hub and spoke model which is very tough to get unless you are from Mumbai and Delhi and travelling to and fro from them.
I always had a problem in getting flights to Chennai because usually my planning with be in 30-40 days time frame.
Do not apply/enquire via email. Just head to sbicard.com and apply for the card of your choice directly. In my case the upgrade was done automatically after processing the new application.
Agreed! As it should be, for healthy competition and fair game.
I just realised that I purchased an Air India ticket last month. But being the idiot that I am, I used the Add On card instead of the Primary card.
Even if the ticket is booked on AirIndia.com for myself (the primary card holder),I got just 10% Reward Points because I used the Add On card.
Learning new things everyday!!!

bro what about booking a PE in advance and after that using upgrade voucher to upgrade it to a business class ? is that okay ?
@SAS Depending on your portfolio and needs, close either SimplyCLICK or PRIME. If both are paid, close the one with higher fee. If both are free, close SimplyCLICK, and apply for Air India SBI Signature. Then, transfer the limit and close PRIME. Or, keep a core card (only if LTF) and also the co-branded (Air India SBI Signature).
Some days ago, I received a call from SBI Card, and they told me that they are FLIPPING my SimplyCLICK to Air India SBI Signature. This means that once I get my new card, they will close the SimplyCLICK.
Today, I see a new card number in my SBI Card app, but not the variant. This means that the card is already flipped, apparently, and I should be receiving the physical card soon.
So, as OP said, they have 'upgraded' the card in my case, too. Limit seems to be the same as before. Okay for now.
EDIT: The card is visible on SBI Card website, the correct variant. The app would be updated soon, I suppose.

thank you so much bhai, for the detailed info ... and I have had a convo with sbi social media team they are saying that sbi prime has a base limit of 40k which means out of my current limit 63k I can only transfer 23k to other card and the rest 40k is wasted I think .... so first somehow I will try to close the simply click by transferring limits to prime and then apply for air India signature and if I get that then I will transfer prime limits to air India and will close prime also (both my prime and click are paid) - suggest me if anything wrong with my thoughts
