(New Offer) RuPay JCB card - 25% Cashback on Japan, Singapore, Indonesia & Philippines

So I am in Philippines since 2 weeks and have tried swiping my BOB Premier JCB Rupay card on atleast 4 merchant outlets in Makati (in the mall). The pos swipe machines had JCB mentioned on them, and the merchants also confirmed that they accept JCB. Yet, the transactions failed every time saying "do not honor". Tried tap and pay, as well as dipping the card, but it did not work.

I have double checked all international settings in BOB app as well as their website, and there are no limits defined. All international settings are on.

I have emailed BOB but no response since 3 days. Any thoughts @Abhishek012 ?

There is always an issue with BOB; many times it doesn't work. Another person mentioned that he used a Kotak RuPay JCB card and it worked but the BOB card kept getting declined.

You can also complaint to RuPay twitter handle. Also disabled all International/domestic option and again enable all International/domestic options and try.

Tried to ask for the "RPJ" debit card while opening a new account today. Banker said either Salary account or 20L RV required.
They said they can't find that dc initially, will take request for it later once account is active. What to do?

Welcome to PSU Bank.

By the way card full name showing on SBI staff computer - RuPay International Platinum Debit Card
 
Sbi issues only jcb DC? If this is confirmed I will ask her to check by name instead
As Abhishek mentioned, you need to mention the code. I got my JCB card. They have it in their system. Not all staff members know everything in SBI. Find someone who is tech savvy among the staff and they will quickly get you to what you need!

The staff was helpful to my surprise. When I mentioned the DC, she showed me hers to confirm if that's what I wanted. And then asked me what are the benefits for which I wanted it.
Since my aadhaar address is pretty far and I wanted it at my current address, she suggested I wait for few days until account verification and after that get the dc on my current address
 
@Abhishek012 Tried emailing customer care, disabled and re-enabled all international settings via website and app, but the card is still not working in Philippines, it gives the error "DO NOT HONOR".

Could there be a problem in the card ? Should i ask them to replace it when I come back ?

Yeah, you can try, but I told you last time, right, there's always some issue with BOB. RuPay-JCB cards from other banks work fine.

It may not be a problem with card as I tried both - my card as well as supplementary card of my wife and both didn’t work. So it’s something related to my account from the back-end I guess.

Could you please suggest another good card on jcb ? I keep coming to Philippines very often and Rupay ran this ofter twice this year.

I just shopped for 15k today could have saved 3k had this stupid card worked.

You can also complaint to RuPay on twitter. Every transaction declined, there is some error code.

RuPay and banks will know the exact reason for transaction declined.

but bank says they are not seeing any transaction declined error in back-end. Anyway my trip is over, please suggest some other JCB credit card for me. BOB is just too slow to deal with.

All Indusind RuPay CC are JCB Variant. Ignore him and apply.
I completed my trip in Singapore. The problem is account has total charges of 57509 but total of all expenses +fx markpup +gst put together is only 50926. Indusind added 6582 rupees and customer care has no clue of why this was added. Any one else faced the issue? SBI Rupay platinum DC and infinia matches entirely with my expense +fx markup +gst etc with my receipts. Only indusind has the problem. Anyone has faced this type of issue? I applied for rupay platinum jcb with zero annual fee and zero renewal fee.

Your SBI RuPay Platinum DC is also JCB ?

Some people have used IndusInd RuPay JCB Credit Card for international spending, no one has reported any issues of this type yet.

Contact the banks and also ask RuPay on Twitter.

File a complaint at a higher level with the bank and ask them to investigate with RuPay.

You can also file a chargeback for an incorrect transaction amount -

These are RuPay's chargeback codes - https://www.technofino.in/community...back-system-and-reason-codes-explained.15525/

But since the JCB card network was used here, JCB's chargeback codes might apply.

You can check JCB network reason code here - https://prod3-sprcdn-assets.sprinkl...3551055-1903740635/Chargeback_codes_-_JCB.pdf

But Contact the bank; they will inform you about the type of dispute reason code applicable in such cases. You have the billing receipt ? Show it as proof.
