Hello dimers,
As i wanted to build my cibil, i applied for secured icici platinum and now its 6 months old and while applying for platinum cc i didn't knew that I'll not get any pre approved offer from icici even if i maintain good amb. Also icici amazon also got rejected due to this.
So should i close my icici cc now as my credit score is above 760 now and wait some months for pre approved offer from icici or should i try to ask in branch for removal of lien on platinum or should i keep it for full one year and close near fd maturity?
Also suggest some cards that can be approved without submission of itr.
Thank you.

u can close FD after getting HDFC card

HDFC card does not report limit to cibil so not recommended as first/only credit card unless pay immediately after use.

Reason for decline of amazon card is not that you already have a icici credit card.

Branch will never remove lien

Close platinum card and wait for pre-approved popup or try to apply amazon card from a good amazon account which is old and regularly used

If option "already having an icici credit card" selected then it doesn't matter from which amazon acc the application is done because only existing icici card bin will be used for deciding instant approval/rejection of amazonpay card.

Everybody gets the option to select "existing icici cc user" but whether the card is eligible to generate amazonpay card instantly is another matter. Also, some ppl here in the past reported to be able to generate amazonpay card based on FD platinum card but not sure if it works currently.

Any reference link? In 2020-2022 i was holding fd platinum card but never got any "existing cc" option.

Can you share ss where everybody gets option to select existing icici cc user?

When you click on apply amazonpay card in amazon app the first screen itself ask you to select whether you are an existing icici cc user or not. If you select existing icici cc user then in next step it ask for cc number after entering which you will either get apay card instantly or rejected saying something like this card not eligible.

You might have seen this on a specific account who already have any unsecured icici credit card. As of today, everybody not even gets option to apply for this card, it says "we are invite only card and we keep refreshing list"

How will amazon know you have icici cc, only if you use same mobile number linked to icici cc as primary number in amazon acc. And those accs get direct amazonpay generate option with specific mention of "generate your apay card in 2 min based on your existing cc" in apay card apply banner. When you click on apply in amazon app it redirects you to icici website page within app where it ask whether you have an existing icici cc.

And you were saying that it asks from all that do you have any existing icici cc

Yes it does unless your amazon acc primary mobile number is same as your existing icici cc(not FD based) & you see such banner for amazonpay card in which case you just need to click on apply now & you won't even have to enter card number as it will already be captured by system based on your mobile number.

If such a banner is not showing or the number linked with existing icici cc is different from the one in amazon acc then one will see the option to select "existing icici cc user" in next screen when clicking on apply now.

I concur. 2/3 friends of mine had ICICI FD backed CC never got the option to generate Amazon Pay CC on the basis of existing ICICI CC but third friend who has unsecured CC got that option. Infact, one of them got rejected for Amazon Pay CC even though he had secured ICICI CC for which ICICI did the whole KYC like a new customer. This was way back in 2020. Going by your experience, I think ICICI is still not offering Amazon Pay CC on the basis on existing FD backed ICICI CC.

Some saying keep fd based for generating amazon cc, some saying close and wait for pre approved, so confusing.

Should i close it bcz till now it's a fact that icici will never give pre approved offer as long as fd cc is there.

Yes you have to close your existing ICICI scored credit card for getting pre approved credit card from ICICI. I wait almost 18 months but no pre approved CC offer from ICICI. I closed thr secured card & waited like 4~5 months & got the pre-approved Coral ltf then next month I got Apay card.

Just to get this ss I will have to use someone else amazon acc & once the application is started I think that person will remain stuck for 180 days before being able to apply again. I need to find somebody who will be ok with this.

If someone doesn't complete apay cc application & leave it there then it remains in stuck position for months before system refreshes & until it do so the option to apply won't be available & if person resumes such stuck application after some weeks/months then their application will most likely be rejected leading to another 180 days waiting period.

Found this old video, I think the option to enter existing credit card number only comes up if same number is linked to icici card & amazon acc.
