[Personal Experience] SBI Cashback Card Approved after Application Declination

Hi Dimers,

So this started almost a month back, there was so much hype around SBI CASHBACK Card in September starting. Just like everyone else, I was hyped and applied for the card before Amazon Sale. I am an existing SBI SimplyClick holder with SBI savings account since 8 years. I have same as my salary account and with a good credit score as well. However, SBI was blindly declining applications for those who already had existing SBI SimplyClick Card. I decided to not leave until they approve my card. The process initially was smooth, 2 verification calls, eSign, one more call but then sudden declined message.

I approached SBI Customer Care, they didn't have any idea. Secondly, I approached Nodal Officer stating I got reason for declination as 'You are an existing Card Holder' and on the other hand you guys call me for getting a second SBI Card occassionally and within the app too. So there's a contradiction there, I have a pre approved "second" card offer and you are stating I cannot get another card. Update your policy if existing card holder cannot get another card. I forwarded this to Principal Nodal Officer and they restarted my application and it's approved now smile

P.S - Just don't give up and state your legit reasons in full detail and no one can stop you, not even SBI toungueout

Proofs:




Update: I'm hearing that SBI now is automatically restarting the applications for SBI SimplyClick holders so you might just get lucky and get auto approval now after a final call. Check pre approved card option in app and see if it says your application is in consideration and decision will be taken in 2 days. If not, you can try reaching out to CS again.

"Check pre approved card option in app"... you mean "emi & more" link in sbicard app?

2-3 days max. Call customer care and ask them for updates, they would probably tell limit and if card account number has been generated or not. (Not card number, card account number)

it was already showing in progress in sbicard website under new card section from last 1 month, even after rejection

but when i track appliction status directly it says rejected... also previously complained to pno and cshead but they all said same thing "due to internal policy " rejected.. they did 2 cibil hit during 17 days of application and still rejected

so the people who are getting approval after rejection.. did you receive any verification calls or cibil hit again or did you got approval automatically..

No, I just received one call after application got restarted (that also for final details verification and they said this is just formality card is approved already). No CIBIL hits or anything.

Congrats!

but this card is now like ApayICICI and will be excluded in all sales so that 10+5 benefit is dream now

Even 5+5 benefit is not there for this card unlike amazonpay. One needs another sbi non-paytm cc to avail any sbi card offer.

Don't try just yet for 3rd card. Less chances of approval maybe.

@ashb009 bro, what's this eSign actually here in SBI Cards Applying process? Is the physical kyc done for existing SBI Card Holders too? Last question, was the call verification process done again after RESTARTING of Application?
Deal Baba Deal Baba
Link Copied
So the application process goes like this:
1. First call before KYC
2. e-KYC from Link
3. Verification Call after KYC confirming details
4. E-Signature form sent on email/message. You have to sign there and upload Aadhaar XML.
5. Card Status messages (11 days, 9 days, 5 days)
6. Final Verification call if card is almost approved (which I got after restarted application)
7. Card Approval Message and Email

1-5 steps were done before declination. My application resumed from 6th step after complaint.

Just checked the status again, and it's changed to 'Your SBI Card Application is in progress. We will get back to you soon.'.

Earlier the status was something like 'rejected'.

I had received a verification call from sbi 2-3 days back after my application was rejected over a month ago and even nodal officer denied reconsideration. But the call was dropped after 5-6 seconds. Now will i get a call again?

The same happened with me and they indeed called again the next day. It was Sunday and Diwali so hopefully you should get a call tomorrow. Also just confirm from SBI Customer Care number to know application status now (also check SBI Card App Get New Card section)

Thanks for your efforts grinning. I have received approval message today & it's already showing in my sbicard app with a limit of 10k (Seriously?! rage). Now that the sale period is over & uber load bug is fixed, it will be a very difficult task to spend 200k pensive. It will not be of much use as I already have Apay ICICI & Fk Axis.

Same. I also received 10k limit only. My SimplyClick has 1.2L limit so I'll probably split 50-50% 🥲

90 days since last card will be over this weekend...  should I take a try through sprint?

Also app doesn't show "get new card" maybe because cool-off period isn't over yet...

On Saturday recieved call from Verification team, told "final call". On sunday 12.00 am saw my limit was decreased from 3.2L to 3.1L. Now on Monday I checked application status on site, it shows declined whereas in avail new card shows wait for two days. WTF is wrong with them, not approving not so much useful card (now it is useless), and decreased my limit by 10k. Is it right behavior?

That 10k is split to your new card that you applied.

The BPCL sbi card comes under a co branded card right? Also does it work on sbi sale discount in Amazon and Flipkart?

I had 2 SBI cards till earlier, simplyclick and prime with separate limits. I closed the prime few months back. applied for the cashback card which has come with 10K limit and shared with the simplyclick card. What's the use of a card with 1k+ fees and 10K limit. Are they joking? It's a sure shot closure before the renewal comes. Is there a way to increase the card limit? I have enough limit on the simplyclick card, if they want to split.

Deal Baba Deal Baba

Same happened with me. I just have 120k limit on SimplyClick which I will have to split now sad It's just stupidity 10k, even if we utilise as is, 100% of limit every month, that won't be enough for fee waiver (10k*12 months) -_-
Let's see if they change their minds after 6 months or so.

So after one and half month later…
Yesterday morning got a call from sbi and in the evening i can guess that my card was approved (on sbicard webite login, in new card section saying “you have issued a new card in last 90 days”)
Today morning last 4 digits showing in sbi card app then some hours later approval message and virtual card message came..

Already done some transactions today..
By ila, checked physical dispatch status, it’s dispatched today ( too fast process)

One more thing status on sbicard website’s track status and sprint still showing rejected and in sbicard app get new card section “in progress”.




Applied in first week of sept..
Physical kyc and all televerifications even from head office completed…
Received 11 days message.. then gets rejected..
Complained to pno and even cs head but no help
