Has anyone experienced this pick and drop service if they can share their experience?
Is it applicable to any airport?
Yes. Myself and many have shared experiences in last 3-4 pages.
Also is there any premium credit card which provides this service? I know that they provide meet and greet and other concierge services like assistance in hotel, flight booking etc.
@pprakash11 @tryabp @Wealth is my birth right!
Not sure about CC. But BOB being exceptionally ahead serving like this.
 
Are they offering Amazon Prime on BOB Rupay Select DC?

Yes. Updated review in the main thread. Plz check.
 
@tryabp Bhai
Today I opened Professional A/C through Branch. I didn't knew that Sapphire is Visa Sign only or else would had applied immediately from there only. So I applied Rupay Select but this variant anyway provides Rupay select automatically.
Now should I got again tomorrow only and apply for Sapphire or wait for Rupay to come?
How did you get Wellness card?
Yes, you can visit the branch and apply for sapphire (VISA SIGNATURE MALE) card via branch. Rupay card will start showing in app within 1-2- days. Rupay Select is wellness variant in BOB so no worries.

check 2nd page of this thread for the list of airports supported
 
Does this card provide Meet and Greet Service, Flight and Hotel Booking Assistance as well?
If not then which CC or DC (which is common) provides all these?
 
How to upgrade BoB account to 20K one as they aren't allowing RuPay Select DC on 2K MAB Account
I opened zero balance account through online mode. Funded 10k and kept 10k for one month . Went to branch on Saturday 7/09/2023 and filled debit card application form , they verified my account and confirmed, I am eligible for sapphire debit card. On 9/10/2023 , the debit card starts appearing.
Only criteria to get Bob sapphire debit card is to maintain 10k MAB.
