It is the 5th time in a row in the previous 48 hours, that SBI has blocked my card in the name of "Suspicious tnx".

I am trying to buy Amazon Pay GV from the Intermiles website and they are blocking my card every time. Any solution for this? I am just tired of calling them and getting it unblocked.

Yes same with everyone.

They have done this on purpose i think.

Why not buy directly on Amazon?

Mine doesn't get blocked but I'm not able to use my card on intermiles the payment page doesn't even load but it works everywhere else. Must be a problem with intermiles.

yes they are doing it on purpose and now cred is also not processing it. Maybe after some days it will stop completely.

How you all updated your mobile no or email id recently within last 45 days? If you are facing issue with txn decline and card block, it can be due to the above reason.

The card is 6 months old. No update was done from my end. Still facing the issue.

Mine is blocked permanently in the name of 'wrongly approved card'.

When was it approved first, and then blocked permanently?

They blocked my add-on card when I tried to make a transaction on Amazon. On the first day, customer care assured me it was active, but it wasn't. Today, I complained again, and now they're saying I need to wait until the 12th of October. What kind of foolish system do they have? It's incredibly frustrating! 


And on top of it, their customer care representatives speak arrogantly, saying, "So what if it's blocked." I really wanted to say, "Hey, you incompetent people, if you can't handle transactions during sale days, why do you even participate?!"

Is this first time u r trying in intermiles? Or have tried earlier, but saw this issue first time? How many transactions u did?

I have plenty of transactions in past, it gets blocked 1-2 times in 7-8 transactions. But gets unblocked after automated call or customer care. For less than 3 transactions in a day, no blocking.

They have started blocking from last week, earlier things were the same as you described.  Did you transacted recently on intermiles?

Intermiles is declining gift card purchase transactions for other credit cards also, so it's not the SBI.

Good News: Tried today SBI CC is working on amz gv purchase. smiley (though not working through cred)

Just have to confirm now if they have changed MCC code or not.

Tried it today. 8 transactions went through without any block.

For 9th, sbi didn't send any error/block sms, but intermiles says "You've reached the maximum transaction limit on this card for today. Try another payment method or contact your bank."

Not sure what happened. I increased online billing cycle limit to 2L also, but still same issue. Card is not blocked, as sbi app is opening.
