During application process i preferred icici amazon card as for 5% on amazon and thought that it will be usefull for icici offers too

Now for almost all icici offer either there is seperate code code for apay card or like in tata neu app written that amazon card will not be eligible 


if the card is issued from icici why they always exclude amazon card , should it be complained to amazon/icici ? Is there is any legal clouse which can be put to complain to  rbi /consumer forum as inaprtiality of services and offers?

best combination is Amz CC plus ICICI Platinum. Both comes LTF.

@demerius2020 You didn't get my point buddy,objective of co-branded card is to keep customers loyal to that particular brand.Yes, you can use APay ICICI CC anywhere but won't earn cashback unlimited 5% / 3% cashback like you earn on Amazon.

Nope it's not just Friday 30% discount,your Apay ICICI CC won't work for 10% instant ICICI bank discount offers on Amazon.The same holds true for FK Axis CC and Tata Neu HDFC CC.Just apply for ICICI Platinum or MMT.

If you have existing ICICI credit card, then you can use expressions card trick. But this trick is mostly useful for Amazon ICICI card holders to get normal ICICI card for bank offers.

Is it wise to get 1 MMT card by paying the joining fees?

I see many idfc and icici card holders keep saying about railway lounge benefits. But in reality, it is available only at 4-5 stations out of thousands of stations. Very few people would get covered.

MMT comes with railway lounge access, and if you are using makemytrip for tickets then beneficial for you. Apart from that, no special benefits. If you will use card for only icici card offers then you can try for Platinum Chip Card.

@anantnitish I got my MMT Platinum directly by entering existing ICICI CC details on MMT site, try with expression card trick.

@Knight11 Railway is expanding the lounge facilities to more railway stations, Lounge facility has been inaugurated at Patna Junction but no online booking facility is available till date.

Patna lounge doesn't have tie ups with card network.

Same here. The MMT card application used to be through a different page earlier and I had not applied then. Currently it is being handled by the new insta platform that requires too many details like 12 month statement of salary bank account. I abandoned the application there due to that. Looks like CIBIL got hit though.

"
ICICI Bank's customer care agent may not accept your request to convert Expressions card to Platinum card, but it's possible, you have to call again and again to try your luck.
If you cancel your Expressions card within 15 days from card issuance, you'll not be charged any joining fees.
Note - If you already have regular ICICI Bank credit cards, this process will not work for you.

Would your gf allow you to hang around with a girl who is her enemy ? 😉 It's for the same reason! ICICI Apay is a co-branded CC and supposed to be used only on Amazon and it's partner platforms.Similarly,Axis FK and Tata Neu HDFC CCs won't be allowed on Amazon during Axis and HDFC CC offers.

1. i dont have a gf .. at present or thats what i suppose
2.i wud love to allow (infact i am no one to allow or disallow ) to hang around enemy as i too beleive in "keep your friends close and enemy closer", also if i can make a enemy a friend i got rid of a enemy and added a friend, though girls may think diff.
3.co branded card not supported for other purchases ? , so amazon too sud not allow icici card for purchase as amazon have a dedicated card for that?
4,the reason people not able to guess may be of far deep , and some money equation involved as icici a private bank work only and for money,
5. for some plateform like swiggy icici have diff code for icici card and diff for amazon icici card , with amazon icici for higher discount , so my decision to go for amazon icici is not that bad either i suppose , its just some friday 30% discount which is exclusive to icici cards and also this new tata neu (now again tata neu already have a dedicated tata neu hdfc cad for 10% why then they are allowing icici and not amazon icici ?)
6.sales and marketing team of icici r not fool or at least thats what they want to be
