Dear everyone
If you wanna stay out f trouble stay far away from a Standard Chartred credit Card.
I was told about the benefits about the SCB- Sahara Gold Card on a Sahara flight and decided to try it out, I called up the SCB phone banking wanting to apply for a sahara Gold Card. I had a lot of travel coming up so wanted the card fast to maximise the benefits, they promised me that an executibe would call on me in 2 working days.
As more than 2 weeks had gone by and there was no sign of the said executive I sent an e-mail querying the status, there was a slow response to the mail, so I got a call after 3 days and the phone banking executive appoligised for the delay and blamed it on thier dead telephone !! Imagine an MNC bank being unable to contact a potential Gold card holder beacuse of dead phones.
Well I had no further patience so applied for yet another airline co-branded card whose service have been excellent !
If you thinking of a Credit card with flying benefits stay away from Standard Chartered Card, you may still be waiting for your card to be processed even after all you travel is over !!
