How to get a lifetime free ICICI Sapphiro credit card?

[venky2607]

Is there a way to get Sapphiro credit card LFT? I hold Mansister united Visa Platinum with an 8L limit.

I've Rubyx credit card since 2017 & it was issued with Mastercard & Amex variants. But, when I received sapphiro card, it was only Visa.
Could someone clarify, whether ICICI has stopped issuing AMex variant of Sapphiro card ?

Also, I do not see any difference in the reward rate between Rubyx Mastercard & Sapphiro Visa. Shouldn't sapphiro card reward rate be higher than Rubyx ?

I have heard that ICICI has re-begun issuing Master and Amex variants. And, some members have mentioned that they have even received them as twin cards.

Sapphiro is indeed offered in 2 variants
1) Visa
2) Dual ( MC + Amex)

You can ask them to swap the variants for you.

Regarding reward rate , all gemstone card has the same reward rate afaik

Visa was never banned. So it was always available, if I am not wrong.

In application they ask what platform you need on, Visa or MC + Amex (at least when applying through agent). I got the MC + Amex variant last month. Also as far as I know, you get more RP on using Amex card than MC and Visa.

Any idea if the Amex variant gets any special benefit of being on Amex network, like in ecomm discount/offer etc.
I assume MC variant would be same as Visa, just the Amex which is slightly higher (in case of RP, apart from above if applicable)

I got LTF sapphiro card through my institute alumni deal with icici. However, reward benefits are not much and I hardly use it.

They are not giving Sapphiro LTF with 20 lpa, why will they give Emerald 😂

Correct as per the internal circular below are the criteria for emeralde ltf
1) 2 cr NRV
2) 5 cr home loan
3) 35 lakhs auto loan
4) 20 lakhs per month salary

Officially Anyone of The above or in-officially very good negotiation skill or a contact in some good post even BM can help but a decent salary credit or NRV will be requirement even for that

Can any mastercard Sapphiro holders confirm if they are getting 2 or 1 bogo on bookmyshow per month?

I spoke to ICICI customer care and the request to change Sapphiro Visa Signature to Sapphiro MC/Amex was declined.
