Yes Super Savings Account provides FYF cards as mentioned in their MITC. No specific card is mentioned which possibly means it applies to every card.

So Sapphire with super savings account is FYF and Rs 750 Lifestyle Voucher makes it technically free for the first two years.

I applied both select and Saphire together from branch, so will it dispatch together or separately?

They won't definitely put two debit cards in a single packet and send, if that's what you're asking But anyways packets may or may not be dispatched together. I don't think anyone can tell for sure.

This is what I found from another thread

  Concierge Email ID	IndiaSignature@concierge-asia.visa.com
  WhatsApp	(+91) 0008 00050 4254

• Process for availing complimentary Airport Pick-Up and Drop Facility
  1. Customer will give requests for the service through Call, E-mail, WhatsApp or Web Chat => Service Provider verifies Card Number => Service Provider will verify Complete Details such as: Arrival Date, Arrival Time, Flight Number, Pick-up Address, Drop off Address, Number of people, Number of bags etc. => Service Provider activates best suited cab service for the request =>Service provider sends confirmation to the customer via e-mail and keeps the customer informed => Service Provider monitors the Pick-Up.

When I tried to book an airport pickup for Bangalore, they calculated and said it is 51KM.

Are you saying it’s more than the actual? Multiple people have shared that their calculation is always more.

Now you can't. Super savings account offers FYF card and the first year's fee has already been taken. Now you'll have to pay even if you upgrade the account.

Bro i opened yesterday super savings, she applied for select from her end as rupay select was not showing during account opening.
i haven't gotten any kit from bank so is there any way i can add bob account in upi apps without debit card as details are not showing in NetBanking.
Also she said wait for select to come then she'll apply for sapphire.
