I said, "If that ever happens with me, I'd do protest at ICICI's headquarters. And would break at least one LCD (TV)." (Just kidding. Not in a serious tone.)

Case:
In an interesting legal dispute, ICICI Bank was recently mandated to compensate a customer from Chennai who was denied reward points. Following the customer's fight, the bank awarded Rs 41,691 in reward points and an additional Rs 35,000 for service deficiency. This ruling underscores consumers' entitlement to seek compensation for subpar services.

Facts of the Case:
The dispute arose when D Sylvester Arokiaraj made a jewelry purchase worth Rs 8.89 lakh on Amazon using his ICICI credit card in March 2021. According to the online retailer's offer, Arokiaraj was entitled to receive 41,961 reward points, equivalent to Rs 41,961. However, these points were not reflected in his monthly bank statement.

Despite Arokiaraj's repeated complaints, ICICI Bank failed to provide a satisfactory explanation. Two weeks later, his credit card was unexpectedly blocked without prior notice. Arokiaraj then filed a petition with the District (Kancheepuram) Consumer Disputes Grievance Redressal Commission, asserting that the transaction was purely for personal use and did not result in any outstanding payment default.

In response to the petition, ICICI Bank informed Arokiaraj that the card was blocked and reward points were withheld because the purchase was categorized as 'business or commercial' use. The bank contended that gold purchases on Amazon were not eligible for rewards. However, Arokiaraj argued before the commission that the transaction was indeed for personal use and did not violate any terms.

Decision of the Court:
After the bank's lack of response to subsequent complaints and failure to appear before the commission, the commission decided to address Arokiaraj's complaint and ordered ICICI Bank to compensate him for the denied reward points and the inconvenience caused. In total, the bank was directed to pay Rs 76,691 as compensation.

Very gud icici realy needs this treatment

No expertise in ICICI bro.

Check card benefits & terms again.
If it's incorrect, raise a complaint.

Why would you be spending on ICICI cards and concerned about reward points? If you want cashback and such on online spends, get a SBI Cashback Card > HDFC Millenia Card

Combining ICICI and Rewards is a DEADLY ☠️ combination 😀

I have a doubt .. What would you intend to do with this treasure of accumulated ICICI Rewards ( whether it is 1/2 per 100)..??
Please stop counting these rewards ..just enjoy ICICI instant discount offers...
For treasure counting please follow the advice of @shrewdoc among other cards..

In essence , the words ICICI and REWARDS makes no sense( = garbage) when put together...

Icici has home made rule that if you are entitled to more than 10k points, they block card and don't credit pending points - in apay card

My friend was to receive 16k apay balance but received none and was informed that he won’t review any more apay balance on future transactions.

What's the issue

What's the issue

The CC guy said something about receiving only upto 8k pay balance, but they haven’t credited that too.

If the transaction is legit, did your friend fight?

Your friend bought something for 3.2L in Amazon with his card? If it is a personal use item, he should fight it. If he bought it for his business or reselling, then nothing can be done.

True. Reach out from Level 1 Customer Support to the PNO and fight until it's resolved. And if still unresolved, reach out to the RBI Ombudsman.

Now it makes me anxious. I got the ICICI Amazon Pay credit card in August, and this month, I've spent more than ₹95K — wherein I've made two big purchases of large appliances for personal use. And the total number of transactions are around 30+, mostly done on Amazon during the Great Indian Sale.

The total cashback amount I've calculated would come around ₹4.2K. Now I'm anxious whether they would provide this cashback or not.

I have bought jewellery for 5L offline with Apay ICICI and got 5K cashback without any issues. Their magic number seems to be 8K or 10K beyond which they do these shenanigans. Also, if you use the card to buy multiple copies of the same item/category also, they classify it as business use.
