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.

7 days max. If it’s failing through NB, try through app.

After 7 days you were able to apply through app?

I was able to even though there was an existing addon.

I am just wondering how are others doing so fast. Same cust id multiple addons. Cancel addon and re-issue a new one.

Try the same name without the first name or the last name or just with the initial it should work.

You won't believe me, but I am giving a totally different name 😛
If it was "John Doe", I am giving "George Doe"

Surname's same of course. My guess is the mobile app is just giving the same error as desktop, just the desktop has a customisation from the web end.

I am highly unsure if anybody currently is able to just cancel old addon and request a new one with the same customer id within a day or two. Will love if somebody who has really done it in last 1 or 2 day can confirm

Do you already have 3 addons issued ? I don’t think so. Hmmm strange, either they patched the loophole or it’s just bad luck.

I had tried before cancelling, didn't work. Maybe some changes done by HDFC to prevent misuse.

 

[Deleted member 11974]

it worked for me

Same customer ID and same relationship? Or same customer ID and different relationship?

Don't exactly remember. I guess relationship chosen was different

Received a card with different number than the primary one. Able to set the pin from add-on user's netbanking login, but card not showing in mobile app. Tried purchasing Apay voucher in gyftr & it's proceeding to OTP page and OTP received in add-on's mobile number.

I applied for a Regalia Gold add-on 2 days back. Will confirm whether getting different number once receiving the card.

The different number add on doesn't show up on the addon netbanking. How do you even see it?
