Best way to get ICICI CC without income proof and only credit history? try secured or go for unsecured?

[joell]

I'm an NTB at ICICI Bank. I'm a student and work freelance from time to time. (9 months CH, 784 CIBIL, 3 HDFC and Kotak cards, 58K Limit). I want the Apay card but I'm pretty sure I'm not getting it without any income proof. So I thought of opening SA and they asked for 25K MAB. Nope.
1) If I apply for Platinum unsecured will I get it without income proof? I think they'll ask for proof for Coral but perhaps not Platinum.
2) Is there any benefit to getting Coral over Platinum? (Coral doesn't really fit into my lifestyle)
3) If I get a Platinum secured card what is min FD amount? (ICICI website says 50K. anyone got lower amounts?)
4) How long before I can convert into an unsecured card?
5) How long after that should I wait before applying for Apay card?

Do you have prime membership on your Amazon account?
If not, get at least Prime shopping edition. This will be easier to get Amazon Pay CC.

After getting prime membership, people get apply invite a few weeks after joining. So many get CC approved without any credit history and income proof. This has been a known pattern - same worked for me too! (Got invite on my new account only after getting prime)
