What it's worth to you, after the fee

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. Everything we can source — the fee, the charges, the migration that put this card in your hand — is above and stands on its own; this card is simply not on the board, not in the calculator, and cannot win a best-of call until ICICI Bank publishes terms we can cite.

The take

A legacy entry card kept alive by a single line in the fee schedule. ICICI charges ₹2,000 to join it and ₹750 a year to hold it, with supplementary cards at ₹199 and no spend-based reversal — the reversal column reads NA. Nothing else about the card survives on any ICICI surface: it has no product page, it is on none of the links the bank's own credit-card listing publishes, and the MITC names it nowhere except that fee row. Note what it is not: ICICI's live entry card is the Platinum Chip, which is lifetime-free, has a current page and a stated earn table, and is a different product despite the shared word. If you are holding a Platinum Identity and paying ₹750 a year for benefits nobody at the bank has published since the page came down, the sensible move is a product change onto something ICICI still describes — Coral at ₹500 with a ₹1,50,000 reversal bar is the closest live equivalent, and Platinum Chip costs nothing at all.

Your renewal — keep, downgrade or cancel

Keep, downgrade or cancel

what we can and cannot price

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. A break-even is the spend at which value crosses a fee, and we are short one side of that sentence — so this desk prints no ladder, no crossing and no ₹0 standing in for either. What we can source about this card is under Sources.

The downgrade

ICICI Bank publishes no document naming a card you can step down to, so we name none — an invented product change is a phone call you would waste. That leaves keep or cancel, and we cannot price either side of it.

If you call to cancel

What the bank offers to keep you is the one fact this desk cannot compute. We are collecting those reports — dated, and only in aggregate — before publishing any: an offer one reader was made is not one you are owed. Called about this card? Tell us what they offered →

The desk publishes subscribable .ics feeds for the dates it knows — offer deadlines, devaluations, expiry audits. Your renewal date is not one of them: only your statement knows it.

What's good

  • ₹750 a year is at the bottom of ICICI's paid shelf
  • Supplementary cards ₹199 each
  • Still priced in ICICI's current MITC, so existing accounts remain serviced

Watch out

  • ₹2,000 JOINING FEE against a ₹750 recurring charge — nearly three times the cost to get the card as to keep it
  • NO spend-based fee reversal: the MITC's reversal column for this card reads NA
  • ICICI publishes NO product page for this card — it is absent from every link on the bank's live credit-card listing and no product URL resolves, so its earn rate and benefits are unstated and we decline to invent them
  • Closed to new applicants
  • Not the same card as the lifetime-free ICICI Platinum Chip, which is live, has a published earn table and costs nothing
  • 3.5% foreign-currency markup and finance charges of 3.75% a month (45% a year)

What these points actually fly

ICICI Bank has not published what this card earns, so there are no points here to fly with — not zero points, and not points that go nowhere: nothing stated either way. The moment a benefit sheet exists we will price whatever it names.

Route Closed to new applications
Income · salaried not published
Income · self-employed not published
Age band not published

Closed to new applications — existing cardholders keep the card; there is no way in.

You cannot get it. Only the MITC fee table still names the card; it is absent from every credit-card link on ICICI's own listing page and no product URL for it resolves. Existing holders are serviced under the document's general terms. The live entry cards to product-change onto are Platinum Chip, which ICICI markets as a cost-free credit card, and Coral at ₹500 with a ₹1,50,000 annual-fee reversal.

ICICI Bank publishes no income or age cutoffs for this card. Blank means blank — we don't invent numbers to fill a grid.

    ICICI's September lounge list drops four doors and adds Bhogapuram
    The prior edition opened Bhubaneswar's landside Bird Lounge, Vadodara's Premium Lounge, Visakhapatnam's Airr Lounge and Bar, and Dehradun's landside Bird Lounge, and filed Ahmedabad T2 international as The Lounge opposite Gate 3 → Those four rooms are gone. Bhubaneswar keeps O'Vetra near Gate 8, Dehradun keeps Carnations in the security hold, Vadodara is off the list, and Visakhapatnam's rows are Encalm domestic and international at Bhogapuram. Ahmedabad T2 international is Adani Silver Lounge - International, Gate 08, and it is not asterisked

    ICICI re-saved its consolidated domestic lounge list on 10 September 2026 and moved rooms, not quotas. Four doors an Annexure-1 card used to open are off the list: Bhubaneswar's landside Bird Lounge (O'Vetra, airside near Gate 8, stays), Vadodara entirely, Visakhapatnam's Airr Lounge and Bar, and Dehradun's landside Bird Lounge (Carnations, in the security hold, stays). Visakhapatnam's replacement is two Encalm rooms at Bhogapuram, which this map does not carry yet — the airport is not in our coordinate file, so those doors are recorded here and not drawn. Ahmedabad's T2 international row is no longer The Lounge opposite Gate 3. It is Adani Silver Lounge - International, first floor, Gate 08, and the row has no asterisk, so the whole Annexure-1 board gets it at each card's own quarterly quota rather than the three unlimited cards alone. Noida's three Jewar rows are still on the PDF and still unmapped.

    Lounge major ICICI Bank
    ICICI's lounge-gate exemption expires for Adani One and MakeMyTrip
    Adani One ICICI Signature, Adani One ICICI Platinum and the MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card were exempt from the ₹75,000-per-quarter spend gate on complimentary domestic lounge access — "valid till Jun 30, 2026" → All three now "require spends of ₹ 75,000 to be made in a calendar quarter to unlock airport lounge access in the next calendar quarter, with effect from Jul 01, 2026"

    ICICI's MITC, headed "Last updated on Aug 2nd, 2026", carries the expiry date inside the exemption list itself and then restates it as a dated instruction below. No lounge visit is removed — MakeMyTrip keeps 2 domestic a quarter plus 1 international, Adani One Signature 4 a quarter plus 2 Priority Pass, Adani One Platinum 2 a quarter — but all of them now cost ₹3 lakh of routed annual spend on top of the fee, which reprices the ₹750 Adani One Platinum hardest. The ₹75,000 excludes rent, government, education, EMI, fees, interest, DCC and reversals, and the qualifying quarter is offset (26th to 25th), so the spend that unlocks Oct-Dec was made between 26 June and 25 September. Worth flagging for the desk: ICICI's own "Upcoming changes to Credit Card features and charges" page, re-read 28 August 2026, still lists MakeMyTrip among the exempt cards with no expiry, and never names the Adani One pair at all. Two live ICICI documents, two different answers; the MITC is the regulated one and the more recently dated, so it is the one we follow.
