Fastest way to unblock sbi card?

[Bhaskar]

Hi. I activated my new cashback card today. Then I tried to purchase Amazon voucher from yono. It instantly blocked my card. Then I got an automated call to unblock it. Then again when i tried to purchase from yono, it again got blocked and this time I didn't receive any call. What is the fastest method to unblock it? And how long will it take?

Welcome to sbi.

Call customer care. It takes anywhere from instant to a week. Use Gyftr only when u don't need card for anything else for a week.

Even if you buy Amazon vouchers on Amazon even then will it get blocked?

send an email - customercare@sbicard.com and tell them the transaction was done by you also send your card's last 4 digits with complete transaction details , I mean merchant name,time,amount. It will take 1 working days.

Just called CC and he said it will take 3 days. But got activated instantly. Can I now make transaction in Amazon or Myntra? Or should I wait for sometime?

If you have received a message about activation then you can immediately start using, but the app will work only after 24 hours. Purchases on any sites other than Gyftr, Zingoy and wohoo shouldn't be a problem
