I am a savinbgs bank account holder of ICICI bank for 4 years . Previously I had ICICI bank gold debit card but last year I got an’offer’ from ICICI bank about an upgradation to its PLATINUM club .Generally ICICI bank provides this to their customers who are using a Gold card for more than 2 year with good bank relationship and higher purchase rates .
Its main advantage is you will get a special bench of customer service for this card only . So no jhanjhat from the long waiting time to get a customer service executive . Generally ICICI’s call center is the worst of its kind .
As a frequent air-traveller I get a lot of offer using this card and because of this I got 2 domestic air fare free .Also if you want to checkin at any 4 star hotel that will become 20-25% free .
For me the rewards earning program is 1 per 100 rupees spent but the threshold point is Rs1000 . i.e you you spent 500 then expect no reward .
Another advantage is credit charge is 1.99 which is more customer friendly at this stage .
You will also get a lot of benifits while you are spending a fuel charge at any pump . I found I am getting a benifit value equal to Rs 3 /liter
For me the credit limit is Rs 5 lacs per month .
You can also have a priority pass but that is a optional and I dont use it, Because for that you have to sacrifice your 6 monthly gift-items .
What I can tell you that if you are a frequent air-traveller and you go beyond india, you have to live different hotels and u want the highest credit limit with low credit charge then this is the card for you .
I recomment this for multi-national persons and frequent cross country travellers .
