How to order and receive a “100 days” credit card?
First you need to fill out the form on the Beeline promotional website beel.ink/alfa9d below. After approval, you can pick up the card at any Beeline store in the city you specified. The card is unnamed, non-embossed, the number is printed on the back. But what difference does it make, the main thing is that there is free cash withdrawal and an interest-free period of 100 days. In my case:
- in the morning - I sent an application, indicated that according to 2 documents I wanted 100,000 rubles (this was the maximum possible limit at that time, spring 2020)
- in the evening of the same day until 19:00 an incoming call from the number +495-974-2515 is Alfa Bank. Dictate your passport details again, confirm the application and its parameters, inform about further actions, and remind you that you need to take a second document in addition to your passport.
- 19:54 - I received an SMS confirming that the card can be obtained at any Beeline store
- The next morning I went and received a card, it took about 15-20 minutes.
Receiving a card at a Beeline salon
The procedure in the salon is a little tedious, but no more difficult than receiving a regular “100 days without interest” credit card at a bank office. The main feature is that there are no imposed insurances.
The director of the salon came up, took my passport, a second document (compulsory medical insurance policy), took a photo of me with a camera, entered all the information and sent it to the bank. After some time, I received an SMS on my phone number with a link to sign the contract (I wonder, if I only had a push-button phone, what would I do next?). I followed the link and saw the approved conditions, the main thing here is the size of the credit limit of 100,000 rubles.
Further on the button there was another screen where I had to agree and “sign” the agreement. To do this, they first sent me an SMS with a password to log in, and then another SMS with a password to sign a credit card agreement.
Then I was transferred to the Alfa Bank application, which I had installed in advance (remaining from the previously closed “100 days without interest” card), and a window opened to activate the card and set a PIN code. The last recommendation was to complete the activation of the card by putting it in an Alpha ATM and asking for the balance (it’s free). At the same time, the contactless module should work, which I do not need. I just went to the nearest VTB and withdrew the first 50,000, April. In May it will be possible to withdraw another 50.
Personal Area
To monitor the status of the account and the need to make payments, the card has a personal account. As you already understand, this is an application from Alfa Bank, not Beeline. After withdrawing cash it looks like this:
