ICICI Campus Power account

[Navneeth09]

[Reason for opening is to get an icici card(platinum ltf and then Apay), so suggestions regarding getting that easily without proving income is heartily welcomed.]

I have no prior relation to ICICI Bank. I am planning to open an account there, preferably one with low MAB criteria. I searched and found out about this account, but requires a 'premier institute' student label. Being a student, but not of a premier institute I am confused.
Please share experiences or suggestions about this account and how to open.

I recently had an issue with ICICI Bank's Campus Power savings account and wanted to share my experience and the resolution, in case anyone else is facing similar issues.

Back in May 2024, I opened a Campus Power savings account with ICICI Bank because they advertised a complimentary credit card from the first year onwards. However, when I tried to apply for the credit card, the branch executives denied my application, saying I wasn't eligible. This was frustrating because the advertisement didn’t mention any such restrictions.

After my complaint to ICICI Bank didn’t resolve the issue, I escalated the matter to the RBI Ombudsman. I also filed a complaint with the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) about the misleading advertisement. ASCI took action, and ICICI Bank has since updated their brochure and webpage to clarify the eligibility criteria for the complimentary credit card.

In the end, ICICI Bank issued the promised credit card and corrected their advertising materials. This experience highlighted the importance of clear and honest advertising and the effectiveness of raising concerns with regulatory bodies.

If anyone else has faced similar problems or needs advice on how to escalate their complaints, feel free to reach out. I hope sharing this helps others navigate similar challenges!

Update: Got Apay card too. 🥳
