Today i called axis customer care to upgrade my existing Flipkart credit to get a new one.

I was informed it has been stopped. Now you can't upgrade your card to get another card by calling cc executives.

Any workaround?

Banks should implement the Standard Chartered bank's process for upgrading credit cards by paying 1 rs. By this method, banks will get explicit consent from customer and process will be simple.

I think the real reason is they are saving and stocking plastic stationery for the "expected" incoming rush of citi customers to axis.

Now, did they say the way to apply for additional cards now?

tried applying airtel card on 5th aug via customer care but they said upgrade is put on hold indefinitely(tried 3 cc agents just to be sure😬) ,they said u have to apply via branch or airtel site,branch people earlier said they cant apply for airtel card for anyone and airtel isnt interested in giving me this card😞

my cousin applied this card via cc on 2nd aug which got approved and about to be delivered

edit-i cancelled my ltf myzone card(oldest cc held by me) to get airtel one

'As per the new guidelines, issuers cannot unilaterally upgrade credit cards and increase credit limits without the explicit consent of the customer for all changes in terms and conditions. No unsolicited loans can also be granted without explicit consent.'

I think for Card Upgrades , a form /written approval  may be asked by Banks now ..... ( possibily with fresh KYC)

If that would have been the case then I would have not got LE via Axis app last week and it updated within an hr. I think something is the reason behind the rejection.

Limit upgrade has no relation with rbi new guidelines, all the T&C of card remain same with only thing being changed is card limit.
