ICICI Credit Card Rejection - Frustrated (Declined due to Internal Policies)

I applied for Platinum Card. I got phone call from ICICI regarding application then I asked for any premium card as LTF.
Then, they offered coral credit card & started the application process. I completed video KYC.

I was told to wait for 2 days. Since then no updates from their side. Now, While I check status via customer IVR call, It says "Declined due to Internal Policies. Apply after 6 Months"

I am really frustrated man. I applied for this card to use in flipkart card offer. Now, fakecart removed ICICI card offer too.

 I just have Amazon Pay Card already. I got good cibil score too. Why these idiots reject with vague reasons saying internal policies. Why the heck i have to apply for this useless card after 6 months for another rejection?

I am already annoyed. Now, you flex your friend's story. Sorry, no mood to hear the flex.
Maybe this will help, I know someone who bought Rs.1 Lakh iphone using his psu bank debit card because he doesn't consider it worth spending his time understanding credit card offers & how they work. Aim to earn so much that you won't even feel the need for using cc or sale offers to buy something you want.

You are not meant to get everything in life what you desire. But this is just a basic card you will get it tomorrow if not today. But if you want something at your wish/will. You better have a good ITR/ Payslip or connections. My friends elder brother is heading one of the district in Delhi (district magistrate).  The first CC he got was HDFC Infinia ( which I recommended to him )LTF just for fun even without a bank account

It took three rejections to get my first cc which was Apay ICICI with 22k limit. With no income proof.
After that I did an experiment which turned out to be successful.

I Opened an hdfc bank account, used it as my primary account for transactions. Used its debit card frequently. Created an FD for 2-3 months OR kept 50k plus in my account for next few months. Got a pre-approved cc offer in 6 months of opening that account. No income proof or physical verification was required.


Then I asked my brother to open an icici bank savings account, asked him to follow the same steps. Within 8 months of opening the account he got a pre-approved offer for LTF coral credit card. No income proof needed.

He is a student.

From my understanding, Their internal criteria (for pre approved card) is nothing but a good mix of debit card transactions, FDs even for very short term, and good balance in savings account.

Even a good ITR/payslip does not help with some banks. Despite being a salary account holder for 11 years, Kotak declined to give me a CC citing internal policies. My registered address in the account has a rural PIN code and apparently, that is the only reason as per the person who initiated the process after an escalation that I am not getting pre-approved CC offers.

ICICI is not great card ...

Plus having Apay card reduces chance for any other free ICICI card..

Initially, it showed Pre approved CCs for me. After getting APAY card, they disappeared.

Did you get this card. I was looking for LTF. 

Does this card worth the benefits by paying 500 rs Annual fee?

Technically its LTF..only joining fee +gst..and no annual fee,and you will get m cash equal to joining fee..so you pay only gst.

Bhai I am sorry if it offended you. I just want to say for lesser rejections either you give a lot of money to the bank or be on an authoritative post in india or even abroad. And no I am not flexing my CCs are always declined by the bank.

In my experience, ICICI does not offer credit card easily like other banks. I myself go several card rejections despite having regular Saving Account with ICICI bank & very good CIBIL score. Eventually I got pre-approved LTF Coral credit card & after 3~4 months Apay card.

Why is getting cc such a huge deal? If you have the money buy it outright. Also there are plenty of dimers who'll help you with their card for discount without extra commission.

First Thing, I don't have full amount to pay right now and these Online Stores only provide cashbacks with CC.

Second, a LTF CC will come handy when needed

You just got rejected by bank and you reapplied the cc. Bank never gives CC to desperate customers. And once you get the apay cc then all other hopes for other ICICI pre-approved cc go into drain.
