Your card has been Flagged For commercial use.

In most case you won't get reward and card will be permanently blocked.

So you must have shopped for ~4.5 lakhs ?!!
What all things did you purchase and total limit of your cc ?

You are assuming 2% rewards rate, some transactions might be of 5% rewards rate as well. @pratikpanchal33104 Mention transaction amount and usages as well if not an issue. For better help and advice.

What's the point then . Why did icici increase the credit limit of a pay cc to 7.6 lakhs,,?

Assuming u got max (5%) cashback,

to achieve this u must have spent 4.5l atleast on amazon.

In reality, u may have spent even more if u achieved 2℅/1% through other spending categories.


This spending pattern is obiviously commercial purpose in CC company's view. Even you give excuse you were buying 1 lack worth of lg oled tvs for each of your rooms.


If it was premium cards like infinia/DCB/Magnus the chance of getting this kinda trouble is minimum.

Now coming to your 9k CB,

Forget about that, and your card will be blocked for sure.

Don't shed tears and say goodbye to the golden goose.

Wait 6 months.

Till then if you have SBI CB card you're good to go.

For 5% cb, only 1.8L Spent on Amazon is enough.

If the flight bookings were not for commercial purpose probably your card will be just fine.

@ZNZ Even infinia/dcb cards/points were cancelled in the past by HDFC for "misuse".

Maybe those were rent payment based misuses.

CashBack over 8k in a statement gets investigated and takes 15 days time. ICICI has close ties with amazon and hence can easily verify the txns done. If all txns were personal, you shouldn’t worry.

Learnt this from ICICI after buying an iPhone from Amazon, had no issues though, just took 15 days more.

If a person doing some business via his current acc is getting same no. of 40-50 upi txns per day limit as someone having a typical savings acc then either the person doing business is doing wrong or the other person with savings acc is doing wrong. You can easily guess though which one is wrong as per rules.

Buying 10 to 12 mobile and you say it is non commercial use.? They are rightly investigating as 10 to 12 mobile buying for personal use is very very rare. Card will get blocked  - 99 % chance.
