Finally, my wait got over and got Cashback card approved by most arrogant bank i.e SBI.
Story: I am already holding SBI SimplyClick card with 3L limit.
Recently in June, I applied for Cashback Card through YONO and instantly rejected by SBI for over leverage as reason (confirmed by CC and Branch). I had a wait period of 90 days now and waiting for time to get over till Sept, 2024.
But today, I opened Internet Banking and a banner was there to apply for credit card. I thought it may be pre-approved.
1. Visited link and selected Cashback Card.
2. Next Page they asked to select savings account. It took me to SBI sprint.
3. After providing, personal details and professional and feeding all other data except referral code which I forgot to use. There was option at page to enter refer code. I saw it yet forgot to put before proceeding. Had two refer code from Father and Brother's SBI Card app but hapiness of able to apply before 90 days overwhelmed me. 🤣
4. At KYC page via Digilocker, it stucked. But application number was generated by now.
5. Went to SBI Cards and resumed application. KYC Data fecthed with Digilocker as Aadhaar was only required by them. Uploaded Photo.
6. Now they processed the application and shown limit of Rs.80000 only (1 Lakh would have been good but already have credit cards worth 18 Lakh limit) and maybe SBI simply click one also factored in. So proceeded.
7. Submitted application and got card instantly starting with bin 4799 59. Physical will be delivered in 3-7 days.
8. Registred the card on SBI Card app and later used SBI card website for pin and per txn settings.
I had been waiting for it from long time. Already having HDFC Millennia but it has 1K max. cashback, Now with cashback card, atleast 4K per month max. is there.
Only Regret: As forgot to put Referral code while application, I think Rs.500x2 for referer and referee are lost now.
So if you are among those who are on 90 days wait period, try to apply directly at Sprint or via Netbanking.
