Great shortcut to purely free movie tickets, No Buy one Get one free!

RewardsAlert

TF Legend
Dear members,
As requested by some like @shubhamosy and others
Here is a trick to get movie tickets each month without spending a ruppee.

There is a requirement to have at least two SBI Cards before proceeding with this process.

As you might be aware, that SBI Elite card gives non bogo movie tickets each month upto Rs. 250 x2
So, we'll be using this card and ultimately making tickets free.

This card has a welcome benefit of Rs. 5k vouchers of Yatra, Pantaloons, or shoppers stop, which anyone can use easily in one year.
So joining fee of 5k is compensated here. Only 900 Rs of GST needs to be paid.

How to avail this as a regular benefit.

As you know, in SBI we can upgrade our cards to any core card we want, there is only a base limit requirement, I guess.
So, if a person has SBI Simplyclick and SBI Prime.

The ideal process is to upgrade SBI Prime to Elite.
Utilise 5k voucher and now this card is almost free.

Now next year, downgrade this card to SBI Prime, which again has 3k joining benefit.
Upgrade Simplyclick to SBI Elite. So again you are getting 5k voucher.
Repeat this process every year, hardly takes 10-15 mins and you get to enjoy 2 movies every month free.

In short, we are just juggling between two cards, Simplyclick and SBI Elite.
Which removes the hassle of closing and re applying and going through long process

Bonus Hack: The SBI Elite card has this feature where you get free movie in addon card also, so you get 4 movies per month of 250 each.

Which is 1000 per month and 12k per year benefit, What else do you need more? by paying only Rs.900
I don't know about max no of addon cards in SBI, if someone knows please comment.


Those who don't have SBI Cards, can use the Indusind eazydiner card, which is issued as LTF basis your good luck and if you are holding legend card already. ED indusind card also gives free tickets to addon cards
Indusind allows max 5 addons.

No, kindly don't reactivate your cards.
I know re activation is possible, but in SBI, after re activation card number remains same.
So, ultimately it is treated as old card only.

It's good that you downgraded, now apply for SBI Elite manually, or upgrade some other card that you have right now maybe Prime, Simplysave, etc.
 
Does SBI flag the account due to such excessive juggling, any case heard?

Btw the trick is really outstanding.

No, never.
Even if I tell you from my experience, SBI didn't bother to ban accounts of people who were using SBI Cashback for commercial transactions, you have a D.P. of same card, you must be knowing.

SBI is such a ignorant bank, they don't care literally. I have planned to use this juggling formula with SBI Aurum to make it LTF. Because Aurum has certain good benefits.
Don't worry, SBI is (Stupid Bank of India)
 
@RewardsAlert thanks for sharing,
i have few questions, upgrading from click & prime to elite is easy?
i mean to upgrade these should be upgrade offer na?
It's super easy.
You know how Axis issues/upgrades any card on call, similarly SBI also does that.
But there is a base limit requirement maybe 1 or 2L for upgrade to Elite.

Anyone can do this without having an upgrade offer as well.
Make sure you have 2 active SBI cards before that.

I have 81 k limit in my SBI cashback card, & i am getting offer to upgrade it to elite card.

How should I execute.
 
The reason you say 2 cards is so that we can upgrade the 2nd card to Elite after downgrading the 1st card at the end of first year, right? I want to try this although I have only 1 SBI card. Closed my SimplyClick card 3 months ago.

Please re instate SBI Simplyclick.
It's 100% possible. I have also re instated my 4 months old SBI Card.
Just call customer care, tell them last 4 digits of that card and ask to re activate, they will ask you to enter OTP, and that card will be live again.

Check this post for old card reactivation
 
great thread, seems like Im daily striking gold in terms of the information in this group

QQ, if one has only ola money SBI card whats the way out, its anyways a dud I'm happy to upgrade to any card they offer
 
Accept the upgrade offer simply.
Click on that offer banner and accept it.

It is that easy. Good that you're getting at 81k.
year 1: elite & prime.
year 2: when i convert elite to prime or prime to elite

then i will have either 2 elite or 2 prime card at 1 time, so is it possible?

No, year 1 formation is correct.

For year 2: Convert Elite to Simplyclick and Prime to Elite.
Now if you want prime, then convert simplyclick to prime.
You just have to be smart and juggle the cards, that's all, no planning required.
