Need inputs on federal bank core card application process.

[zaid_2913]

Some people have reported cancelling their co-branded Federal Bank credit cards to acquire core cards, and vice versa. There is no clear picture regarding reapplying for a Federal Bank card after cancellation, with some suggesting a permanent restriction and others mentioning 3-month waiting period. Seeking firsthand experiences from individuals who have successfully closed co-branded cards and got core Federal Bank credit cards could provide clarity on the matter.

This is the response I received from the Federal Bank.

You have to wait for 90 days (after cancelling any co branded card) before you can apply for a core card

And that too won’t happen automatically

Even after 90 days, you need to drop an email to them asking them to unblock (with proof)

Then you can proceed with your application

Thanks for both of these information
