Emeralde to be discontinued by ICICI Bank

[1RC]

I spoke with a credit cards representative from ICICI this morning and accordingly to her (internal information) Emeralde is soon to be discontinued by ICICI Bank.

Any insights on this matter?

@anirban.choudhury any insights on replacement of existing Emeralde card with Emeralde metal edition??

I don't think emeralde will be replaced with this .they will still issue emeralde and emeralde private would be for the pbg customers.

Macbook Air dete hai shayad

joining fee ke badle macbook dete hai maine suna hai

Yes you get a MacBook Air with the Diamant CC after paying joining fee of 1,25,000 + gst

I am not sure. The way she said, seemed like Emeralde is being taken off the roster

It's very unlikely that a bank takes their topmost variant down.
That to without launching and alternative.

Hmm.. I thought so too. But ICICI has been way off their CC game for years.

I am sure a metal variant + some attractive offers will cement their comeback.

If possible please ask your source, whether present Emeralde holders/ who got preapproved offer, would get Metal offer??
or How to get Metal offer ?

Ok will do.

I recently received Sapphiro LTF (with an absurd limit), will ask them if they can also push me to Emeralde LTF as I was offered Emeralde paid.

30 Lakhs ??

No not 30 but 26L

they try to compensate their shitty rewards system by providing such high limits so that the customer holds the bank in high regards and ends up doing big spends here earning them big bucks

Don't know they are in top private banks and don't have analytics to improve credit card reward structure/card variants to complete with HDFC.

ICICI if this post hits you in your meow meow, please feel free to donate me any profit you make. Sharing is caring...

they are the top private bank because they have had a huge outreach due to being a development bank before becoming a commericial bank
uske wajah se kone kone mein loan bech rahe hai aur kuch nahi
otherwise none of the indian private banks have a competant wealth management,portfolio management service
simple buisness take deposit at 2% sell loans at 12-15% worst case defaults hue to rbi bailout leke khada hai

Agreed 💯

Wealth Management services by banks is a hoax. It's actually a Wealth Growing service for the banks themselves.

True that, that's the way they operate and make money.

The only good thing about icici wealth management account is there's no IVR. You call the helpline and someone talks to you, stupid simple. The investments offers are bullshit anyways.
