DCB HDFC Addon number different from Primary

[vishp]

Hi everyone,

I received my HDFC DCB Metal Addon today. To my surprise, it has different card no. compared to my primary.

1. I can see the addon card while setting up card controls or changing pin in mycards app. When I changed card limit or set pin, I got a mail saying addon card no. XXXX changed. But they mention primary card no. over there in place of XXXX.
2. I don't see addon on Netbanking, when i click on addon controls. I can add addon card separately on Netbanking tho.
3. I also checked the OTP. The OTP came on the addon mobile number!

@Ankit Goyal also received a different card number for his addon.

1. Does anyone know about this change from HDFC? This is a big change in their card policy.
2. Since my Primary Card is FYF, would the addon too remain FYF?
3. Since card nos. are different, would the spending milestones of addon be counted on Primary?

I have mailed HDFC about this. Meanwhile would be helpful if forum experts can share any info on this.

How to add add-on card to netbanking? mycard always says invalid card when entered last 4 digits?

Looks like you too are having the same issue I am. They sent my addon registered with my mobile number 🤦‍♂️
I can see the card in mycards of myself (primary holder), but when trying to add it to addon's mycard it says invalid.

So although the card number is different, with independent PIN, the OTPs for online transactions come to my phone.

Weirder part: I tried to insert this metal card in ATM the machine doesn't detect this as a valid card.
Branch person says it may not be recognizing it as a valid card due to metal.

Now looks like to change addon mobile number I will have to send a manually filled form.

add the card to the add on card holders netbanking id
it can be done in the old UI and the top and alerts start going to add on holder

Now we can get the otp on addon card mobile no.
I have tried on my HDFC DCB card.
On otp page its giving option to enter addon mobile no to get otp on that no. It will only take the addon cardholder mobile no that was registered with HDFC.

When you initiated the registration on nb, which number got the otp? I tried removing & adding again. Even this initial otp is going to primary

Cancelled my existing add on and sent documents to Chennai branch for re-issue of new add on card with different card number.
Have mentioned over the email to link the card to add-on phone number.

Received the same yesterday and can confirm, OTP is coming to new add-on phone number.

Just a couple of questions:
Since the gyftr Amazon vouchers are linked to one phone + one card, will this be violating terms of the card if I purchase 20k+20k gift voucher (since this is an add-on and not two primary cards)

Since we both pay rent (legit) for 2 different houses, earlier we were using the same card and redgiraffe, can I now use the add on card to pay the rent of other house? Will this be considered "first rent payment" for each card individually?

If I can, how can I use the add on card with billpay if the card holder is not hdfc account holder? Payzapp? Will that give the milestone achievement?

Thank you for the help in advance.
