What it's worth to you, after the fee

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes a fee schedule AND an earn table — we have neither number, so there is nothing to net off against nothing. 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.

Why #1026 The senior of THREE rungs ICICI issued for a public-sector bank's customers — the deepest distribution co-brand on its whole index. Carried, not ranked: one flat accrual line is the published record and ICICI's current MITC has no row for the family.

The take

Punjab & Sind Bank is a Delhi-headquartered public-sector bank, and for a period it did not issue credit cards of its own; ICICI did it for them. What makes the arrangement worth carrying is its depth. Most of ICICI's distribution co-brands ran to two rungs, or one. This one ran to THREE — Gold, Silver and Blue — the widest ladder on the bank's entire twenty-six-strong co-brand index, wider than the Big Bazaar family and wider than HPCL's surviving line. That is the finding, because everything else about the product is a blank: ICICI published a single flat accrual line per rung, the same base rate on every rupee, with no accelerator, no Punjab & Sind benefit and no branch-linked feature. Unusually for that index the blocks do not even carry the bank's standard note moving the card onto its later coalition programme, so nothing on file says what happened to the points. There is no product page, no fee, and no row in ICICI's current MITC. The one launch release ICICI's archive lists for this partnership survives only as a capture of the bank's own error page.

Keep, downgrade or cancel

what we can and cannot price

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes a fee schedule AND an earn table — we have neither number, so there is nothing to net off against nothing. 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

  • One of THREE rungs ICICI issued for Punjab & Sind Bank's customers — Gold, Silver and Blue, the widest ladder on its co-brand index
  • A bank-to-bank distribution co-brand: ICICI issued the card, a public-sector bank's customers carried it
  • A flat base rate on all spend — the entire published mechanic

Watch out

  • WITHDRAWN — ICICI publishes no product page for this card, none of the forty-three destinations on its live credit-card listing is a Punjab & Sind card, and its current MITC has no Punjab & Sind row
  • NO accelerator, NO partner-bank benefit and NO branch-linked feature was ever published — the accrual is flat and applies everywhere
  • No fee is claimed here: ICICI's index routes every co-brand to a generic fees page that prices two unrelated cards, and the one launch release ICICI's archive lists for this partnership survives only as a capture of the bank's own 404 page
  • No earn rate or currency is claimed here either — and this block is one of only five on ICICI's index that does not even carry the note moving the card onto i-mint, so no successor programme is stated
  • ICICI printed the Gold, Silver and Blue blocks word-for-word identically, so nothing on file says what separates the three rungs

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.

    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.

    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.
