I did not understand, I have one card by federal. Can I now apply for core federal card ?
Based on
@Martius post, applied both cards within less span of time where none of them approved by the time another application started. So, bank not yet flagged but allowed to have both cards. Based on my knowledge, this process always works with all banks but later if they do re-auditing etc. checks then they'll discontinue one of the cards. But, Federal so far didn't implemented that feature and blocking users who already had credit card with them (approved at the time of application).
@Martius , do correct incase its otherwise.
@watchguys , incase if not aware the real benefit and most possible option to use Eterna card for now is to load wallets. For that you need to get wallet MCC only, if you get Travel or Utilitis MCC then reward rate reduces to 0.375% instead of 3.75% (a drastic change). FYI: both paytm, amzn provides these additional MCCs sometimes, so one has to careful when transacting using this card.
Another benefit, unlimited domestic lounge with good coverage, that is the only benefit left and works all time. Otherwise, its not good to spend 2900Rs. annually or 2.5L.
BOB allow multiple cards and you can apply using Onecard but approval depends on other factors (do consider income sometimes they may request to process the application).
