How to activate NCMC Wallet?
Click to expand...
I could not find that so you’ll have to get that activated and NCMC wallet recharged physically at metro stations.
I’m currently using PNB Rupay NCMC card and even when it allows online recharge, I had to go to customer care at metro station to get wallet activated first time. Also each time I do online recharge using PNB netbanking, I have to get recharge activated at the metro station.
Having to go there to get recharge activated even when you put money on it online does not make sense to me. Only difference is that you don’t have to give physical currency notes to them. Not a much of convenience. Not sure if all banks operate like this currently but I’m expecting improvement in this area otherwise I’ll stop using debit cards.l for this purpose. It’s an added risk carrying debit card with lots of balance and tap to pay feature at metro stations, buses etc. I’ll prefer loosing metro card or an another prepaid NCMC card with limited balance than bank debit card.

I tried for my Bangalore address (in JP Nagar) to Airport. Google Maps shows 44 kms. Their vendor quoted 56 kms and denied. I replied saying it's 44 kms, I'm okay to pay for the additional 4 kms, they said complimentary service is restricted to 40 kms.

That's unfortunate. What you can do is see from where it calculates under 40KM for them and be there for the pickup. So if point A to C is 56km, go from A to B (nearby location) on your own and then book from B to C with them. If this arrangement is convenient then you'll still save much.

Yeah I thought about the same. But generally going to airport with luggage, this becomes a hassle, switching rides with luggage.

Weirdly zomato recognized my bob sapphire visa signature card as icici debit card so was unable to avail bob debit card offer. Tried multiple times, same thing happened.

BoB cut the ₹885 charges of my Sapphire DC today i.e. exactly after 1 month of card generation. My account is Advantage.

Looks like Super Savings account holders won't get charged for first year for this card as well. We can safely assume it as FYF for Super Savings account.
