Axis Ace card issued...

Here is the sequence of events:

Tried to apply for Axis Ace online through bank website on 27th Jan, but on last page while selecting the card Ace option wasn’t available….Sos didn’t submit the application.

Contacted Axisbank support on the next day (28 Jan) through Twitter. Got a call back by noon. The lady explained me and assured of Ace Credit Card. Next I asked about documents…As usual she said Aadhar is compulsory. I denied and made her aware that it’s not. Aadhar makes their life easy as the take biometric authentication at doorstep. I insisted to process my application manually (paperless only, but the say manual option).

Next they arranged a guy same day to process application who visited around 6pm.

He filled the form in his mobile App & all was done paperless. I shared Photos of PAN & Drving license. I checked each and every field he captured and option he selected/unselected. 

GooglePay takes compulsory access to your personal details as apart of agreement….FYI.

The form was submitted on 28th Jan through his app. I got application id starting with C1 on same night.

In between i followed up with the lady who called me initially, but she said it will take week approx.

Then on 3rd Feb i got Approval SMS.

On 4th Feb i got another Approval SMS.

I wanted to check whether indeed they issued me Ace variant and also wanted to know the credit limit.

I messaged them again on Twitter and asked the card variant and limit. They confirmed ita Axis Ace card but didn’t share limit.

But I wanted to know the limit….Next i asked them last 4 digits of card and they shared in Twitter DM.

Then I sent SMS ‘AVAILBAL xxxx’ from registered number to 8691000002. Voila, it worked! I got a limit of 3L. I had showed my DCB limit of 4.57L while applying.

I also checked card balance by sending SMS ‘CARDBAL xxxx’ to same number and it showed me -588.82 (joining fees).

Awaiting to receive my Axis Ace card in next few days…..
