SBI CC NOT REFUNDING

I purchased a gold coin from BlueStone i have ordered couple of times but on 27 September i used my SBI Credit Card. Since the order was getting delayed, I cancelled it on 29 September.Around 6–7 October, my SBI credit card statement was generated, and it included the payment for this cancelled order. I understand that refunds take time, so I initially didn’t make a big deal out of it.
However, today, 10 October, BlueStone has confirmed via email that my refund has been processed and has also provided me with a VRN.In the meantime, I had already raised a dispute with SBI Card and submitted the necessary evidence, including BlueStone’s refund confirmation.
Now comes the frustrating part. I received a response from an SBI Card representative named Shajar, and honestly, it feels like my complaint wasn’t even properly read or understood before replying.I mean, what exactly am I supposed to do here? Pay for a gold coin that I never received, cancelled, and for which the merchant has already confirmed the refund?I understand that a refund can take time to reflect in a credit card account. My concern is that BlueStone says the refund has been processed and has provided a reference number, yet I’m getting nowhere with SBI Card.
To make matters worse, I can’t even raise another dispute against the same transaction through their system. So if the response to my existing dispute doesn’t address the issue, what am I supposed to do next?At this point, I genuinely don’t know whether BlueStone has actually completed the refund on the payment network or whether SBI Card has failed to trace or credit it. That’s exactly what I want the bank to investigate instead of sending a response that doesn’t resolve anything. Im thinking to raise this concern to RBI Ombudsman

Redeemed Visa Rewards offer of Rs 500 Amazon Pay Gift Card

Sharing this in case it helps someone. I got a new Axis Horizon Visa Signature credit card and made one ₹300+ transaction. About 2 days later I claimed a ₹500 Amazon Pay gift card through Visa's own offer page. It has nothing to do with the bank's welcome benefits, so it's extra on top.

What the offer is

It's a Visa campaign for new Visa credit cards and forex prepaid cards, valid 7 Feb 2026 to 31 Oct 2026, or until stock runs out.

Voucher value depends on the card variant:

Platinum: ₹250

Rewards: ₹300 (BIN 431581 excluded)

Signature: ₹500

Infinite: ₹750

New Visa forex prepaid cards get a ₹500 voucher for one international transaction of $4 or more.

You can pick Amazon Pay, Swiggy, Zomato or Flipkart.

What counts as a qualifying transaction

A single successful payment of ₹300 or more, online or at a store. Contactless and tap-to-pay count.

Cash withdrawals don't count.

If you refund or cancel and the remaining amount drops below ₹300, it no longer qualifies. Don't return the item.

Business, commercial and corporate credit cards are excluded.

How I claimed it

Directly go to Visa Poshive page

I entered my card number, expiry, CVV and mobile number, then the OTP.

I picked Amazon Pay. Once you pick one brand, the others get locked.

I got a code on screen and by SMS, then added it at amazon.in/addgiftcard.

Things to know

The voucher shows up 5 days after your last eligible transaction, so don't panic if it's not there on day one.

You must claim within 95 days of that transaction.

Use the Amazon balance soon.

The offer terms say the claimed balance is usable for up to 3 months, and there's also a general one-year Amazon gift card expiry. Don't rely on the longer one.

Each voucher type can be earned once per new card. Two new Visa cards means you can claim on each separately.

Visa can swap the voucher for another participating merchant at the same value without notice.

Voucher problems go to the merchant.

Help: The BOB Eterna card was promised as LTF by the agent (on WhatsApp), but now BOB says it's chargeable on mail. What are my options? Already activated

Hey everyone, I'm stuck in a mess with BOBCARD and could really use some advice.

I applied for the BOB Eterna card on 25 Aug through a sales executive. The only reason I went ahead is that he told me, multiple times, that it was lifetime free. When I applied, the BOBCARD offer page showed it as LTF too, as a limited-period offer.

After the card was approved, I wanted something in writing, so I started asking him on WhatsApp. He kept confirming:

  • 1 Sep: I asked if it would be lifetime free or just first-year free. He replied "LTF".
  • 18 and 19 Sep: "LTF hai", and "offer time pe kiya hua hai".
  • He even sent me a screenshot of the offer page with the joining and annual fees struck off and a "Lifetime Free (limited period offer)" stamp.
  • 21 Sep: he told me that when my application was logged on 25 Aug, it was LTF.

In the meantime I emailed BOBCARD's CRM and escalation addresses several times and got ticket numbers. Their only real reply, on 17 Sep, said the card is issued on a "Normal Fee Plan" and joining/annual fees apply as per the MITC. It didn't address my mis-selling complaint at all. My emails on 18 and 21 Sep got no reply. Customer care didn't pick up my calls for weeks, and when someone finally did today, they confirmed it's a normal plan.

This card is useless to me if it isn't lifetime free, and I'm not in a position to pay fees on something I only took because it was free.

Here's what I've done so far:

  • I sent a formal complaint email with everything attached: WhatsApp screenshots, email threads, ticket numbers. I asked them to either convert the card to LTF or close it with zero charges, and to compensate me for the time I've lost.
  • I gave them until 8 Oct to respond in writing. If they don't, I'll file a complaint with the RBI Ombudsman on 9 Oct.

My questions:

  1. Did I handle this the right way, or should I be doing something else, like going to the nodal officer, filing a consumer complaint, or posting on social media?
  2. All my proof of the LTF promise is on WhatsApp: the rep's own messages and the offer screenshot he sent me. Will that be taken as valid evidence, or can they just say the rep had no authority to promise this?
  3. I have already activated the card. Is there anything I should or shouldn't do before this is resolved, like try closing it because joining fees levied?

Has anyone been through this with BOBCARD or the Ombudsman? How long did it take, and did it work out for you? Any advice is appreciated.

SBI PhonePe Select CC – Policybazaar insurance cashback

Been using the SBI PhonePe Select CC and have been getting the expected cashback on my transactions:

● 1% on regular UPI transactions
● 5% on Zepto/Zomato
● 10% on eligible recharges through PhonePe

Recently, I renewed my insurance through Policybazaar. The payment was redirected to PhonePe, and I completed the payment using my SBI PhonePe Select CC.
In unbilled transactions it is visible as “UPI-PolicyBazaar InsuraBrokers Private L”.

However, I didn’t receive any cashback on this transaction.
What’s confusing is that I’ve seen someone else mention that they received 1% cashback on a Policybazaar insurance payment.

Has anyone recently paid an insurance premium on Policybazaar using the SBI PhonePe Select CC and received cashback?
