Today, I received an SMS giving me a ₹1000 Tata Cliq voucher. I have the Sapphiro LTF under the alumni program, so it is not a joining offer also. However, I am not sure why it was given to me. I haven't received any email or other notification about the gift card.
Check your SMS inbox as well.
No worries..
Generally as a good practice what I do on every new card I get:
Buy a ₹10 rupees GV in amazon and save the card in amazon.
This way a small transaction was done and card was tested for online transactions..
Actually I don't know about this amex variant offer, but I had already done one simple transaction like above last week when I received the card.. .
