Strange ICICI Account Upgrade to Private Banking because of Times Black Credit Card??

Can someone confirm (who got Private Banking due to Times Black card) if the new chequebook mentions Private Banking on it.
@Nishan11 @Dr.Anand456 @Anindya98 @Sobirvs
Please share a pic if anyone can please.
My checkbook has been delivered, but it says 'Privilege Banking' instead of 'Private Banking,' which was my earlier account type. I had placed a request for the debit card and checkbook on the very first day of upgrading the account. Therefore, customer care has suggested that the account status might not have been updated everywhere yet. It would be better to order a new checkbook after 1-2 months to ensure everything is correctly updated. In any case, just the type of account name printed on the checkbook does not affect its functionality.
 
I recently got the times black card but don't have a account with them
If I open a 10k wala account will it directly open with private banking as of now my profile on the app says private banking.
Suggestions pls
 
Can someone explain the benefits of the Private banking apart from new colour theme/logo?
For me Wealth Select Visa Infinite DC, good LTF CC upgrade offers & Welcome Kit Leather pouch nothing else.

A question here what are the charges for DC in case of a downgrade? As you had asked CC. I was charged for WM DC after my account was downgraded? I believe this will be similar to that. Also I think they don’t have minimum spend criteria for these cards. Correct me if I am wrong.

WM DC and Wealth Select Visa Infinite DC have no charges mentioned in the website or booklet that comes with the card as it is only given to the customers holding the status when you get the DC. They might have charged you the replacement fee of 200+GST.
DC will remain free until renewal or the bank has introduced any new charges regarding the DC. If they bank added any charges for the DC you will be informed a minimum of 1 month in advance.
 
Yup although they haven’t mentioned I was charged annual fees as my account completed a year. I still hold the one and only card by the bank that’s WM DC but yes It may be same as replacement fees not sure but the amount was similar to that only.

In my case, I directly opened an ICICI WM account in March 2024, and my first and only DC is WM DC, after the upgrade, I requested Wealth Select Visa Infinite DC, at first they were saying I would be charged re-issuance fees, then I explained that I am directly upgraded from WM and I am not replacing the DC just asking for the Wealth Select Visa Infinite DC that comes with the account variant. They agreed with me and issued the card, let's see if I get charged. I will keep the DC till renewal or they introduce any charges for the DC.

I and my family had replaced debit cards of wealth management in May 24. No one was charged fee for replacement.
This fee of 200₹ could be for something else.

On another note - In August 24, had replaced EPM card. Was not charged for it, though website mentions charges.

Generally, they don't charge any fees for WM account holders.
Even when I closed my Mine CC they refunded my joining fees with GST after 3 months of using the card. Without asking for the fee reversal.

Yes. Think they have policy for wealth account holders to refund fee, if a card is closed within 6 months. Even on paid debit cards.

I guess I was charged because I was downgraded and didn’t opt for the replacement
 
They are also pretty lenient with salary accounts. mine is titanium privilege salary account which was upgraded to wealth briefly before being downgraded to privilege banking. It is unfunded for more than 10 years but still most of the benefits are retained. They also sent wealth DC on renewal after downgrade to privilege which is free due to "salary" account.
 
I have WM account which was upgraded from Silver variant. I used the Debit card for one of the Lounge access.

Apart from that it is just a plastic that has money printing capabilities from ATM. That's what my daughter thinks about it. 😛
 
To people who have cancelled this card and got Private banking what's the latest on this?

Hope you have not been downgrade or charged back for the card.

Thinking to get this card without activating it 😁
