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.

Sent email to increase limit from 10k to 1L by adjusting my simpliclick card. They asked to sent income proofs and also fineprint mentions 200+gst for limit change. What non sense.

Can I use card again by making part payment? Will it trigger over limit use, will I earn cashback?

Was anyone able to increase limit beyond 10K? They are asking for 200+gst for manually sending docs and updating(if approved)

The process you're doing is for Limit Increase. I called up customer care, and they adjusted my limit on the call itself as per my requirements. Didn't even take a minute.
