BOB Credit Card Approval: My Card-to-Card Application Journey!

[Anindya98]

I wanted to share my recent experience of applying for a BOB Credit Card using the card-to-card method. Here's how it went:

I called the credit card representative at my BOB Home branch and inquired about applying for a BOB credit card through the C2C method without requiring physical verification.
C2C Criteria: Minimum 1-year-old CC with 1L limit. I used my ICICI Apay Card with 4.2L which is 1 yr 10 months old.
Application Timeline: Application Date (10/01/2025) -> Document Required (13/01/2025) & I uploaded the doc same day -> Got Verification Call (16/01/2024) -> Card Approved (17/01/2025) (Limit 1L) -> Card Generated (19/01/2025) -> Delivered via Speed Post (24/01/2025)
TAT: 14 Days
Documents Required: All Soft Copy(PDF) sent via WhatsApp

• Last Month's Card Statement
• Aadhaar card
• PAN card
• A passport-size photo
• The last 3 months' Bank Statement asked for via email on 13th Jan

I have been holding the BOB Super Savings Account since September of last year.
The representative filled in all the details on their application portal. They didn't ask me anything regarding my income to fill in the basic details only the office address was asked. All other details were taken from the account.
After completing the initial formalities, she asked me which card I wanted. I said I only wanted a LTF card let's see what the bank is offering then I will decide.

• Select: Chargeable
• Premier: Chargeable
• Easy: LTF

Since I already have cards with higher rewards and value, I chose the Easy(Visa Variant) LTF Card. My primary reason for applying for a BOB credit card was to avail the fantastic offers that BOB cards provide these days, instant discounts, and to get the Snapdeal Rupay Card LTF and Premier/Eterna LTF in the future.

Why did I select BOB Easy?

• LTF
• No Physical Verification
• Only on-call verification (The only question asked was to confirm the card delivery address and nothing else)
• Easy Approval
• The primary objective is to get Snapdea Rupay LTF(Pre approved) within a few months and after 1 year will try to upgrade the card to LTF Premier/LTF Eterna

Why the process doesn't require any physical verification or quite less rejection?

• Agent submits a physical form along with the digital application which shows the credibility of the customer.
• My IDFC Bank statement played an important role for sure, MAB is more than 1.8L, and transactions ranged around 4.2L in the last 3 months.
• BOB account also might have helped not sure maintaining around 24K.
• Some complications occurred with the office address it was changed by the agent on the same day of application.

Fun Fact: They did a limit check of 50K at the time of application in my Cibil and gave me a 1L limit.


Confirmed LTF Status from BOB Card:

If you are thinking of applying BOB card now is the perfect time.
@Vasuki also got Premier at the same time. Share your experience here.
@cardsduniya also got Easy LTF.
The best part of the process it was paperless and digital.

So catch 22 is
Early u get verification call early your application will be processed

U shared documents via WhatsApp to the agent?
I feel physical verification didn't happen in this case because agents upload some office/business pic.
W.r.t bob, physical verification depends on person to person, there are many who got card without any verification in online applications too

Applied thrice and got success in 3rd attempt. Let me try to share my success journey soon. But I have utilised it to the fullest already. Rupay Eterna is best Rupay card in my view.

I received call from my BoB branch where I have car loan. I don't have any SA there.
I mentioned that I have CC with highest limit of 5L and she said I will get Premiere LTF and Eterna paid. She is unsure about Eterna.

Shall I go for Premiere or Eterna?
