New Update : https://www.desidime.com/discussions/sbi-cashba...
Cashback for this card is calculated as given below :
Cashback amount(5%category) = 4% of txn_amount (excluding paise) + 1% of txn_amount (excluding paise)
Example : if txn_amount = 685
4% of 685 = 27.4, consider only 27
1% of 685 = 6.85, consider only 6
total cashback = 27+6 = 33
Cashback amount(1%category)=1% of txn_amount (excluding paise)
1% of 685 = 6.85, consider only 6, total cashback = 6 rs.
Yet to be settled, but should definitely give 5%.

I've been completely locked out of my sbi card account , they don't let me login to the app , nor the website. Their helpline number is not telling me the option to talk to someone , if anyone can tell me the combo with which i could do so please help.
You can try this on a hit and trial basis but worth taking chance rather than getting completely locked out.
