Credit card hai ki sticky notes jo mann me aaye sab likh do😂
I linked it to the Dreamfolks web app and it says 2 out of 2 domestic accesses available, which shouldn't be the case since I haven't done any transactions on any ICICI card before, let alone the sapphiro/gemstone.
I think it's a bug on the DF website.
It could either work in our favor or not, depending on what the bug is.
If it shows free access is available, but verifies it once availed, then we could be charged for the visit on our next statement.
Or if they aren't verifying accesses, and just going by what's shown, then we basically have free domestic lounge access without the 5k spending thing.
Anyone willing to test it out lol
EDIT: Just realized, the card should technically offer 4 domestic visits per quarter, but the DF website just shows 2.
Could it be that before the 5k spend, there are only 2 accesses available, but after spending 5k, it expands to 4?
Probably a wrong presumption. See discussion below.

Is Sapphiro lounge access also devalued? I didn;t think so.
2 on MC+2 on Amex=4
Amex variant won't get linked on DF app

On top of this, you will get all 4 lounge access in the first quarter of card issue. 5k spend requirement starts from second quarter.
P.S. I am forgetting whether it was just first quarter or first two quarter without spend requirement.

As per recent devaluation 1% fee of DCC applicable where merchant is indian and registration is in foreign nation
Does it covers amazon flipkart so many brands people spend these days how they suppose to know which merchant registered at which nation i would advice everyone to close these damnn cards than paying that 1% with no vakueback.
i am only using lit 300 for 2 lounge access facility which more useful than any mindless spend to meet criteria for lounge

Ah that makes sense.
They don't mention that it's complementary for the first/first two quarters anywhere, which was why I thought this might have been a bug.
Interesting.
So the only way to get lounge access via the Amex card is to physically swipe it?
Either way, I guess your statement still stands in that case.
All gemstone spends are linked for the complementary access.
Has this been tested/verified btw?

Yes. And the list is different and smaller as compared to mastercard and visa one. Better to get visa variant as it gives 4 times access to a wider range of lounges instead of this split.
Received Mail from ICICI for revision of Rewards and Lounge Access.I have no idea which card it was for , I hold Corals and Sapphiro.
Thanks

Only for coral. I hold rubyx and I also got the mail yesterday. But the airport lounge change section was not present, the rest of the 3 sections were.
They really should clarify for what card are they sending this information for.
I've already activated the MC and Amex
Not sure if they'll allow me to swap over to Visa now.
Do we atleast get access to Amex's lounges with the Amex card?
I'm guessing no, since it's co-branded, but if yes, then that's a plus I'm fine with.

They don't allow most of the amex cards for amex lounges, no chance for this. Although check their lounge list, maybe you find a few which suits you.I've already activated the MC and Amex

You still can change the payment network, just call the customer care and ask for it. I tried the same, they agreed for the change but due to address issues it could not be completed then.
