ICICI Emeralde EPM ishop rewards from add on cards

[bhaveshbhai]

I have EPM and 3 add on cards. Because of 12000/- worth amazon voucher per month limit on ishop, I am planning to open ICICI accounts for my add on cards for my family members, and hence a separate ishop for all of them. My question - will the base and accelerated reward points be credited to add on card or ishop portal of add on card members? Ideally, I want to get the base and ALL accelerated reward points in my primary card and my ishop login from which I can book all flight/hotels at one place.

The reward points are credited to the primary card holder account. iSHOP is just a portal which can be used to purchase GVs/Flights etc. and the points are credited directly to the card account. All purchases done on iSHOP are eligible for accelerated rewards.

Can you confirm if add on 12k Amazon purchase got you reward points?

 

[wiizzard]

Did anyone get points on add on card ?

Addon purchase will be same limit as primary as they share same primary card number/account id

I think @wiizzard is looking for accelerated rewards points for the following scenario..
Primary card owner buys 12K amazon pay vouchers from his account. So monthly limit for Amazon primary voucher is reached for primary card holder.

Add-on can buy upt 12K amazon pay vouchers from add-on card holder's ishop account which is different from primary card holder's account. As ishop amazon pay vouchers limit is account wise.

So in this scenario, will accelerated reward points will be credited for 12K vouchers or 24K vouchers..

 

[wiizzard]

Yes @shashank08 !
Anyone tried this and got points ?

AFAIK it won't be. The limit is on account level. Cc are also accounts. So addon is linked to same account as primary

I am not sure whether it will work or not..
But logically it should work..
12K per month per iShop account..
So lets say if someone buys 12K each from both the accounts using primary card in one account and add-on in other.

Entry in the card will be iShop transactions for 12K each in value which will be eligible for the accelerated reward points.

With this logic even using same card, which in this case will be primary card, for purchasing on Amazon pay vouchers from 2 different accounts should also give reward points..

I am not sure whether someone has trued above mentioned 2 scenarios..

Someone who has already tried can give confirmation about accelerated rewards or not..

For Primary card login to Ishop portal- during buying 12K amazon vouchers,, it shows prelinked EMP primary card. Once you have done the transections, it does not allow you to even click on payment as the linked card in ishop portal limit is used. It doe snow any option to do the payment with add on card.a

if we login to ishop portal with secondry card holder details and try to buy the vouchers, it does not show secondry card or it does not show any linked EPM card.

with the above testing, i am not sure that else to be done to buy amzon vouchers with rewards using the ishop portal with add on cards?

anyone able to do the transection successfully- do share the details

For ICICI EPM, Cash Advance Fee is nil, does it mean the same as IDFC of 0 interest on Cash Withdrawal till due date. Meaning i can withdraw money from ATM and pay 0 till the due date or what is it?

Hi, were you able to check if more than 12k vouchers are possible using add on holder's ishop login?

No.. on second account it is again 12K APay voucher limit..

 

[vpn_das]

Thanks. So are you able to buy 12k voucher from your login and another 12k using add on login?

 

[shashank08]

Thanks. So are you able to buy 12k voucher from your login and another 12k using add on login?

Yes . .
By the way you cant login using add-on card..
Second account login either require a second icici bank account or primary card holding..
Making sure you must know this part..

Thanks again. Yes, all my family members have their own icici accounts and login. Just trying to confirm that they all can buy 12k vouchers independently if I get add on cards for them. So the add on card shows up in their ishop login right?

No add-on card will not show up in their account..
Card needs to show up to utilize the points not for purchasing the vouchers..

When I need to purchase the vouchers using card not by using points.. I need to enter my card details everytime even after being the primary holder.

So it doesn't matter whether card appears or not for purchasing of the vouchers.

In fact, you can use your primary card to buy additional 12K apay vouchers from other account but better to take add-on card and use it to avoid any complications later.
