I've a BoB savings account with 25k+ AQB. It came with some basic Rupay card which I never use.

Is it worth upgrading to this bob World VISA Sapphire solely for the airport transfer? 4 trips to/from BLR airport will be INR 4000-5000 alone, seems like a good deal against INR750 annual fee (anyway reimbursed by a lifestyle voucher?). Are there hidden T&C which prevent me from exploiting this airport transfer?

Bump. Are there hidden T&C which prevent me from exploiting this airport transfer scheme?

Thanks! no need to wait. Just keep 10k + balance and visit branch. They will immediately approve the card.

Maintaining 10k in bob advantage can also get me rupay select dc ?

Good News Friends! Visa Sapphire Card is now showing in app. As per info from branch person, all 3 cards are LTF on 10k MAB maintenance.
If you want to apply, tell branch person to select VISA SIGN MALE / FEMALE on their dashboard, it is the VIsa Sapphire Card. BIN is same for both and branding is different as kind and queen logo on physical card.
Thanks to @Karvanna & @pprakash11 for this thread and your inputs.
1. Rupay Platinum - BIN 6522
2. Rupay Select - BIN 6525
3. Visa Signature (Sapphire) - BIN 4026

I will post photo once physical card is delivered.

You did have to pay Joining Fees right for Sapphire (750) and Rupay Select (500) ?

Update:

I have Advantage Savings (2k MAB). Visited branch today, filled a debit card application form and applied for 'Visa Signature Male' which is what they call Sapphire in system. Staffer said it will show up in bobworld in 48 hours, 15 working days for delivery. I have more than 10k AQB in the account since years, but she did not know whether it's LTF for chargeable.

Minor irritation: Physical card can only be sent on permanent address. No concept of correspondence address / office address to take delivery. Anyway I'll ask someone to courier it from permanent address.

I also applied for it yesterday, hopefully, it will start showing in the app in the next 2 days. But you can change your correspondence in the account and then it will come to your new address. I have first updated my address in the account.

I had to fill out debit card application form and mentioned that I need bob world sapphire card at the top of the form. (as it was an application form for a basic international debit card)
I see that a physical card showed up but not sure how I can confirm if that is the correct card.
No amount has been deducted from my account tho

Anyone got a luxury sedan in any of the metro cities mentioned?

 

[Nemesis]

No.

First year it's free... Check MITC for Super Savings account

 

[seekndestroy99]

4313 is Visa Platinum

The branch person incorrectly issued me this card. I got it blocked today from the branch. Will they still levy the issuance charge? (Haven't received the physical card yet)

Even if they charge your account, you can file claim for refund.
