LOL I never thought I would do this at all.
I took the paid EPVC and closed it on the very same day. It was coming pre-approved in iMobile for long.
For many months and maybe an year, I kept on hold.
Last week I applied. Card number generated immediately and visible under Cards.
I immediately called customer care and raised a cancellation request. Card closed yesterday.
Joining fees won't be charged as per them (because I haven't activated the card yet)
But I received the card by post today. It is a nice packaging - a box and some booklets etc.
It even included the priority pass card 🙂
If at all they charge joining fee (which is highly unlikely), I have got confirmation from cust care and headservicequality that it will be reversed.
No regret though. Just wanted to see how it looks, so I applied and cancelled. I would have kept it if they had given it LTF to me.
I could have bargained for an LTF conversion, that's the only thing I could have done before closing it.
