Second SBI CARD

[Md Kaif]

Hi everyone,

From many days I was thinking of applying for SBI BPCL OCTANE CARD. So today I thought of giving it a try. I applied through the Sprint portal and choose BPCL OCTANE before filling my details. Now after doing KYC they are offering me Cashback card/Simplysave/Simplyclick card. So, I closed the application and was trying to contact customer care, in the meanwhile I got a call from some SBI agent. He asked me why didn't I complete me application. So I explained that I wanted the BPCL Octane Card but the sprint portal is offering me some different cards. After some checking he tells me sir u can't have two high level cards from SBI. My first card is SBI OlaMoney Card having a limit of 1.58lakhs which is don't think is a high level card, infact I believe this Ola Card is just a entry level card.

Now how shall I proceed further? Any thoughts? Shall I apply C2C on the basis of my ICICI Platinum Card? that has a limit of 2.4lakhs

They generally issue one core and one co branded. Since you already have Ola (co branded card), the system was showing you core cards.

You can call customer care again and ask them if any upgrade is available and if you don't use your Ola Card, simply upgrade it to BPCL Octane.

It happened to me too , and I was wondering what happened. I already had the SimplyClick card and went to apply for the BPCL Octane card. However, after filling up the details, it showed me the SBI Cashback card instead.

I upgraded my SimplyClick to BPCL Octane two days ago.

Edit: Earlier I was holding SimplyClick and SBI Cashback, after the upgrade I have BPCL Octane and SBI Cashback card.

How did u manage to upgrade to BPCL OCTANE? SBI's nodal team is telling me they can't update my card to BPCL OCTANE

If you check my earlier comments, I mentioned that you should call customer care and inquire about any available upgrades for your card. If an upgrade is available, you can simply upgrade to the BPCL Octane card. In my case, I received upgrade options for almost all the cards, except for a few.

You are lucky then.

When I tried to upgrade I am eligble
for all Co-Branded cards like yatra, Metro, IRCTC etc... except ola and BPCL

BPCL is not a co-branded card? Sounds more like a co-branded card

They were offering me Prime, Elite, BPCL, BPCL Octane, Vistara, and a few others. I'm not sure if Ola was offered to me, but I'm definitely sure CB wasn't offered.

Can we apply for second SBI card without closing/upgrading the existing one?
I have cashback card (10 months old) and thinking of getting a Vistara card.

Will Sprint work for me or I should rather get it offline?

Cool..was it 100% online through Sprint? Did it ask for any additional documents or KYC?
Also, what about the credit limit? was the existing limit shared with the new card or you got new limit on the new card?
Thanks in advance!
Earlier at SBI, there used to be a "Get new card" option which would just use the same KYC to instantly issue new card, however, it is no more functional now?

Both cards applied though sprint. Same procedure happened on both cards (Asked employer details, address, email, etc) & for KYC it was verified using adhar otp procedure. Both cards have separate limit but got lower limit for 2nd card (Its a IRCTC platinum). No offline verification at home or office.

Is there a cool off period applicable for second card (SBI Cashback) if first card is approved (SBI Vistara Prime)? Customer care told me I can apply immediately but I have seen some comments here to wait 3/6 months.
