ICICI Sapphiro: Got all 3 variants

[ak95]

I got to now from TF Community that we can exchange Sapphiro Visa variant for MC+Amex variant.
Mailed Customer care for variant change and my request was processed within 10 days. CC asked me place a cancellation request for my Visa variant as keeping all 3 variants Visa+MC+Amex is not allowed. So I placed the closure request for my Visa card but the very next I got a call from Retention team and he told me that there is no such rule about keeping all 3 variants and he cancelled my closure request.
All 3 cards are active right now which I confirmed by doing small transactions
Now I have 2 dreamfolks card and both are active.
As per my knowledge, BMS offers/lounge access are divided between MC & amex equally BUT I have no idea if my Visa card is eligible for lounge access/BMS bogo now(even the cust care guys have no idea about rules in this situation)

Are all the variants paid or LTF??

@jack333 This may be interesting to you.

Visa has 2 BMS BOGO whereas as MC + Amex has one. In that too, only MC will work in BMS. Amex will come has cashback only

In ICICI , generally card closure on upgrade doesn’t happen so when you request a swap , your old card and new card both will remain active , but not sure how they gave you 2 DF , if the card account is same then only 2 access per year international is there on DF , and you excess usage might get charged

have paid sapphiro pre-approved offer any way to get it converted LTF?

On amex you get more points than mc and visa, also you might get some other amex offers.

MC + Amex has one each, so technically 2, as far as I know.

Visa was LTF, while changing variants I got their confirmation that MC+Amex will also be LTF

Yes account is single, I was also surprised when sent another DF card.
Will probably use lounge next month, let's see what happens

Any reason for requesting MC+AMEX variant ?

As, all AMEX offers are not application for icici amex cards....

Just want to understand why you wanted dual cards instead of 1...

As, I can understand this in case of Rubyx card, as VISA would give only 2 rail lounge access while Dual cards would give 2+2 lounge access (Thats what lord TF said in his video)

But there's no such offer for Sapphiro Dual variant (lounge access is there but AMEX list is way too short)

So, just wanted to get to know your points for doing so

May be to hoard a collection of ICICI cards 🤣

Even my mc to visa was processed and both my cards are active they told me to place request for cancellation but i am not gonna do that untill they do it directly from backend.. so i checked bms so used 2 bogo from.visa and 1 from mc so i was able to use 3 bms offers... Since bms offer is on card number and not card account.

I even got 2 dream folks cards.. one was delivered today only

Do let know/share your experience as to if both cards are working? Also, does it now show 3 cards(1Visa, 1MC, and 1Amex) in the iMobile app?
I have a Visa Sapphiro currently. Would it be wise to request for the dual variant and reap the benefits of 3 different networks?
I don't know whether ICICI ever disables the old card on their own if requested for a new variant or not..
