Suggestion on SBI Prime Closure

[raniphore]

Guys, I hold SBI Prime and Cashback card. I mostly use cashback card and accumulated a reasonable amount of cashback using it. I have spent around 1.5 lacs in Prime till now but I don't think I will be able to meet the 3 Lac waiver criteria. Shall I close the Prime card since I don't use it much. For dining and stuff I have LTF BOB Eterna which I recently got. Is the card worth the annual fee of 2499+GST ? Also in the SBI card app they are giving me upgrade to ELITE on Prime card but it has charges of 2999+GST so it is not making any sense to me.

You can request the customer care to make it LTF, else you can close it.
Can you tell us how you got an LTF Eterna?

I dont think they would make it LTF. For eterna I applied through a promotional link and during application it was mentioned that it would have annual charges. But after receiving the card when I asked customer care about when the joining fee will be deducted, they told me that my card is LTF. I don't know how it became LTF. 😆

Do we get a separate Priority Pass card along with SBI Prime card ?
Is there any spend criteria that needs to be met or wait time before availing international lounge access with SBI PRIME after receiving the card ?

PP on SBI prime is only for 1 year from date of issue of card. They do not provide a renewal.

That is weird. Did you file a complaint with SBI customer care ?

Sorry. That's my misunderstanding. They have mentioned that for Club Vistara and Trident Privileges. The PP can get renewed.
