If you're a prime member for some time, it's probably easier to get the invite for ICICI APay card. Regardless, if the invitation doesn't arrive, try to get any other entry level ICICI Credit card by applying manually. Once you have that card, within days or months, you'll be invited for ICICI APay card.
I have a 1.5 year old HDFC Business Money Back Card which was pre approved based on Savings Max Account with ₹1.5lac limit and after one year I got 45K LE.
Last month I got a random call from SBI CC agent and got SBI SimplySave with ₹1.3lac limit. But there was a problem here. Pincode of my small town does not come in the serviceable area of any CC issuer. So I first told this problem to SBI agent also, then he said that if you receive letters, online orders etc by entering the pincode of your city (which comes in the serviceable area) instead of your town pincode in your address, then mention the same in SBI application and also tell the same during video KYC call from SBI. This trick worked.
The very next day after submitting SBI CC application, I received an SMS that "Dear MR BHANU PRATAP, your KYC details have been updated at Central KYC Registry against KYC Identifier Number (KIN) 400xxxxxxxxxxxxx ", I checked and found that now my city's PIN code is mentioned in my CKYC address record instead of my real pincode.
Now come to the point, the Apply Now button for APay credit card is always disabled on the Amazon app plus "we are an invitation.......” but the banner of ICICI's lifetime free Paltinam Visa card and some other bank's credit card is always visible. I am a full KYC member of amazon/amazon pay and my CKYC is mentioned there. So I want to know
1. How can I apply for C2C in ICICI? I don't have any salary slip or ITR.
2. If I go to the bank's website and apply for any basic LTF card of ICICI with my new pincode, which pincode will the bank see? Will the card be generated instantly or videoKYC is included
3. Should I take Amazon Prime membership (it will be of no use) and start shopping to extent. I don't want to open ICICI savings account just to get pre approved offers.
