Eligibility Criteria for ICICI Emeralde Private Metal - Discussion

Not the right statement to make. Not everyone has EPM.
Nothing is right or wrong. Only situations are relative. How many of EPM aspirants have got the card? Majority of the branches are only fooling these aspirants which is evident from the length of this thread. However if new customers come with big business or if applicants have big salary then cards are sanctioned easily. The number of EPM holders can be counted in fingers. In my city, hardly anyone has got EPM . I am talking about the situation post iShop launch. It was an entirely different situation before. The reason is ICICI loves Salaried individuals of 3 L + for this card which is not so common salary in every city.
So my friend's EPM is approved with 18.5 L limit.

He is already holding ICICI Amazon Pay with 12 L credit limit. It's good jump.
Does he satisy the salary criteria or TRV ?

There are a few thousand cards issued by all Indian banks collectively and not every card is meant for everyone and criteria for those are clearly specified on their portal ofcourse except for a handful "Invite only" cards where banks would have their discretion. Else we would have had only 4-5 cards in the country. These "Invite Only" cards are actually a loss to the banks in a majority of cases and are not supposed to be issued to everyone unless banks are convinced that such card holders provide value to the banks in some or the other way. It's all give and take and both the parties know that.
Btw, I'm not a great fan of TB...according to me it is still one those cards which I can probably keep in my drawer that too only if offered LTF. I see absolutely no value of this card. However, for some ppl it's great and they are able to extract a great value out of it.

I also have different limits on my EPM (25l) and my ICICI Sapphiro card (13l). Is there any way to merge them?

I was able to merge my limits in case of HDFC (Infinia & Regalia), but not sure about the process with ICICI bank.

Raise request to icici care on Twitter & dm card last 4 digit of EPM & Sapphiro to merge limit. You will get a call for confirmation & it will be done.
 
So my friend's card is reflecting on netbanking. He made few small amount purchase of 5k from iShop using EPM for testing.

But transaction text/mail shows remaining limit of existing Amazon pay, he has 12 L credit limit on it. And have spend of 50k. Remaining was 11.5 L.

EPM has 18.5 L credit limit. But even after using it for 5k on iShop, it says remaining balance as 11.45 L. But shows overall limit as 18.5 L.

Any idea what's the issue here ? I didn't faced this issue when I got EPM. I have separate limit too.

Check under manage limit whether total spend limit is 18.5L or 11.5L.

Manage limit is right beside total credit limit in latest bill tab once you select CC in imobile.

It's showing 100% limit of 18.5 L.

I also told him the same when he shared the issue.

I have told him to connect with ICICI bank on twitter & ask them to merge limit of amazon pay to EPM, so both share 18.5 L limit.
