ICICI debit card for Lounge access

Anush

Hi,
I have ICICI bank account and got the debit card that came with it. I never asked for options at the time.
What is the recommended ICICI debit card for max benefits? Anything for lounge access?
 
@satviksehgal customer care is trying to sell me a debit card which has yearly fees. I do not know the other options that are available. That is why I am asking in this forum.
In my exp. do not optimize much over a Debit card. I am speaking from personal exp.
I was given the Pioneer IndusInd debit card, their top-tier DB LTF. Has lounge access, Bookmyshow B1G1, some waiver on bank vault fees, golf lessons, etc., etc.

All sounds good. But the rewards structure is horrible, they don't give points on govt., utility, wallet, and fuel transactions. Plus the reward redemption ratio is quite bad too.

Debit cards IMO are just now where close to CCs in India right now.
 
I have taken the Rupay Debit card , Ny better variant of card that is available LTF ? having salary account with > 1 L take home.. also where can i check account variant in ICICI
Wealth Management customers get MasterCard World Debit Card free of charge. Apart from lounge visits, it is useless with a long list of exclusions and a pathetic reward rate.

ICICI debit cards aren't of much use anyway.
 
My ICICI wealth management account got downgraded to Previlege account variant last week. But I still have the world master debit card with me. And in the iMobile app also it shows this card linked to the account.

This debit card comes with 2 lounge access per quarter. I have a domestic trip on coming Tuesday. Can I use this card to access the lounge? Will it work with ₹2 access? Or will it be fully chargeable? I am planning to close this account soon after this trip, mostly by Thursday next week. What could be the implications?

If the card is active, you should get the complimentary lounge access. Are you able to add this card in dreamfolks https://webaccess.dreamfolks.in/login-user ? If so, you can check whether you will get complimentary access or not. To be on safer side, take other cards with you.

I'm traveling tomorrow evening. I am planning to present this card first. I'll update here.
 
I have a previlege account. It is a salary account. If you upgrade to Wealth variant I they will automatically send the world master debit card and cancel the rupay card.
ICICI upgrades Salary account to "Wealth Salary" under Wealth program. "Wealth Salary" is not eligible for world master debit card. How did you get the card? Is your TRV with ICICI more than 30L? If so, your must have been upgraded to proper wealth account (not sure what they call it).

No, it's not proper wealth. It's just the 0 balance wealth-salary only. I am sure. But maybe they offer world master to wealth-salary also?

But now that they have downgraded, I am not even able to ask for normal debit card.
Earlier, being in wealth, I could connect to 18001080 customer care without waiting, now I have to dial so many options and wait for long to reach a person.

Customer care is useless. Basically in icici no one knows the exact offerings. everyone has different info.
Even RM, BM, customer care no one knows what is what. Even website is not updated timely.
2 days back they told me i cannot close the account online, but actually they have introduced online account closure in imobile.

Was yours automatically upgraded to Wealth Salary or you requested for an upgrade?

Yeh ICICI is a banana republic. No one knows about anything. Everyone just spits out whatever they think/want on the customer, knowing that customer has no way to verify. If you ask for an official document to back up their statements, no one has them.
The only advantage of "Wealth Salary" is, getting connected to a human directly on 18001080. But then the human is worthless.
