How To Block Axis Credit Card Through Sms |
Ditch the Drama, Embrace the Text: Here's Your SMS Superhero Guide
-
Step 1: Assemble Your Texting Arsenal: Grab your phone, your wits, and, most importantly, the last 4 digits of your Axis credit card number. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility (and the responsibility of not mixing up those digits!).
-
Step 2: Craft Your Blockade Botschaft: Compose an SMS like a boss. Here's the magic formula:
BLOCK <Last 4 digits of your card number>
(e.g., BLOCK 1234). Send it to 5676782 or 56161600 from your registered mobile number. Boom! Incoming, card-blocking awesomeness. -
Step 3: Bask in the Blissful Blockade: You've done it! Your card is now more locked down than Fort Knox after a zombie apocalypse. Transactions? Declined. Online shopping sprees? Thwarted. Suspicious kebab purchases? Adios!
But wait, there's more! This handy dandy SMS trick isn't just for emergencies. Feeling unsure about a recent transaction? Want to temporarily pause your card while you're on vacation sipping margaritas (responsibly, of course)? Block and unblock as needed with the same SMS magic! ️
