Finally as of last week, I got my tier upgraded from Silver to Golden Edge Club. Around the same time, another friend of mine who crossed the 5L spend in November (and later 10L by January), got his account upgraded to Silver Edge now. Who knows how much longer they might take to move that to Gold.
Clearly the fact that tier upgrades happened for 2 different accounts within a week's time implies that AI systems are working just fine. So SBI's excuse is just what it is - an excuse. But the good news is that my Golden Edge status is valid from now through February 2016. Thankfully they didn't apply a 12 month deadline from the time I actually crossed my 10L spend ^

I crossed my 10L spend in early November, and they gave me the same response week after week for months (Technical issue from AI. Please wait 15 more days). I had also escalated this to the Nodal officer, and eventually to the CEO desk as well. But same response from everybody for almost 4 months.

I am traveling again to Shanghai mid of this month, Dont know how to handle it this time. I will probably take a snapshot of the webpage in my mobile camera. I have sent messages to their twitter handle, got a reply that they are working on it, still NOTHING !

I have been given FORM number= Xxxxxxx and excutive said that I will receive a application number on my mobile within 2-3 days of verification. Till now, I have not get any response from SBI Card. Kindly check and tell me that my Application will be processed within 7 days or not.

I was forced to re-apply 4 times (with documents) after the initial application was taken more than 1.25 years ago.
This final time - after providing all documents - the agency/subcontractors called me to tell me that my DL had expired and they needed another document in its place. They provided a gmail address. I refused and insisted on an SBI Bank e-mail address - they had none to provide me.
In any case, they were willing to send someone personally to my office again - but in the meantime the Mumbai RTO was having problems refusing agents to operate inside and then my DL has not been renewed - for unknown reasons - probably due to my using an agent.
Then, just a few days ago I received an SMS stating that my application for the SBI card was denied!

SBI cards is absolutely crap organization. Applied for the Visa Signature card got the instant approval (840 CIBIL with significantly good income levels) only to be followed up by phones and personal visits for fetching documents. After 4 weeks I get a call that they cant issue Signature card due to internal policy so please take platinum which is ........ because they cant tell what the internal policy was so they lose fees and a customer because I applied for other super premium cards and got them within 2 weeks...

You need to stop posting your personal details here and instead complain to SBI Cards directly.

I have completed my 10L spends 2-3 months before the card renewal date and got the additional miles. Called SBI and asked them to extend my Air India Gold tier for the next 1 year, which has not yet happened due to their processes and as also mentioned in several posts here.
The question is, does anybody know when the calculation of milestone spends starts for the next Rs. 10L? Is it immediately after completing the first Rs. 10L or after starting of the next membership year? SBI cards could not give me any firm reply on this.
