Pro Tips-

Simple way to make Any basic to mid range SBI card LTF is to "Just raise a closure of card account request through Sbi card app .After few hours you will receive a call to ask a reason for cancellation ,there tell them Either make it Life time free or cancel the card.They will make your Card LTF.Done on my both sbi card and now both are LTF.Service request to make your card LTF is taken as PCT id is to be changed.You can check in service request tracking menu.

Caution:-If you holding multiple cards of SBI then kindly do this process at one card at a time only.Do on other card after at least month. If at any point SBI Card is not agreeing on LTF and offering you Annual Fee waivers only then Accept Fee waivers at that moment and Apply the same trick Again after 1 or 2 months for LTF.
IF ANYONE HAVING ANY SPECEFIC CONCERN THEN DO DM.

Edit 1-If afterall anyone missed the call from retention team then they can simply call customer care and there simply tell them to connect/transfer you call to retention team as i want to discuss regarding my card closure request.They will connect you to their retention team and now there you can project the above trick to get your card LTF ..


Edit 2(09 July 2023)-Even people have made sbi cards having fee upto 1499 LTF and even higher varriant cards you will get equivalent reward points or miles or annual fee waiver in place of LTF.

Edit 3(15 October 2023)- Even people have made their SBI cashback credit card LTF by their skill of negotiation.

Edit 4-Now a days SBI Cards sometime,closing the card without calling so suggest now dont place request through app by self .Call customer care directly and ask them for LTF/fee waivers or to transfer the call to retention team for doing the same.
 
My cashback SBI credit card converted to LTF and got the email approval as well from the customer support. Card age: >1 year. Annual spend : >2 lacs. (got the annual fee reversed automatically). converted to LTF just by initiating the closure request in the app.

Did you negotiate with the retention team or they right away offered LTF?
 
PCT ID to be changed -- SR closed means your card is LTF now..
Enjoy !!
After seeing your earlier comment regarding email through sbicardapp, I had sent an email request to SBI Card from SBI Card App. But I got this response after 15-20 days of doing Level 1 and Level 2.
No closure request just email through sbicard app

You can confirm the same by emailing to customer care. Rest assured, if its not declined then its most probably processed as ltf.
