Still they don’t work on it, ICICI executives should realise they are screwing up in their strategy.
Emeralde Private Metal itself has become worthless after series of devaluations.

True, co-branded cards themselves lose the charm, they sound like cheap membership cards that malls give away.
Also, even with two brands in partnership, they are asking for such a high fee. With brand partnerships, cards are supposed to bring better rewards at lower cost.
IMO you can’t expect a truly premium card from ICICI

New Launch - ICICI Times Black Credit Card
Seems like ICICI is coming up with a new credit card. With recent devaluations, I am curious to know what they come up with. It must be a super premium card going by the looks of it and the fact that it is a metal card. https://www.timesblack.com/

The lifestyle benefits looks good. Not sure of how iShop would work or would it even be closer to Smartbuy.
Big Question: Why would somebody spend Rs 25 lacs a year for a base reward rate of 2%.
CXO may take this card. Would be good for feel good and pride. But surely not worth to spend Rs 25 lacs per year on this card.
Better pay fee every year rather then spending on this card. Hope ICICI is compensating the fee with points.
iShop will not be anywhere close to smartbuyLooks like details are out.New Launch - ICICI Times Black Credit Card

Personally I will stay away from any icici bank paid cards. They are just not worth the hassle coupled with tricky workings from icici. Also almost all paid icici cards don't offer value and mostly will be the same with this.

If u have infinia then why targeting this garbage card? If u have 40k to spend on fees, get a Magnus Burgundy assuming u have Burgundy account. Or even a amex plat charge rather than this garbage.

How convenient of the user to have just copied the post from TF and reshared it on their forum as if he pulled the details. These were first shared here!
Absolutely bro!!👍👍
I am damn sure only few ICICI top level personnel have idea/knowledge about this card... Others will get / would have got information from our this forum only!!😁😁
I think at least they have some idea. In hdfc even bbh level employees have hardly any idea about infinnia reserve. They just know it's coming. When? With what feature? Fee? No idea!
Bro honestly saying Infinia Reserve not coming in near future...
From last few years I am seeing this is only for hype!! Nothing else...😤😤
In fact 2-3 months ago when I applied for DCB... I thoroughly checked.. infact I reached out to Credit Card Regional Head to get clarity. He clearly told any CC cannot be blindly launched...if in HDFC any new product Is going to be launched then their backend system, product team blah, blah... needs to be updated...And he has zero idea about this. He given his work this year it won't be launched. Then only I finally made my mind for DCB.
In my opinion Infinia Metal is what was supposed to be Infinia Reserve.
Infinia Metal eligibility is already sky high anything above that will make Infinia Reserve similar to Amex Centurion with very few eligible customers and end up becoming bragging rights and won’t bring much business to the bank, banks need more business and profitability at the end of the day.
