[Hitman_107]

Hi Community,
On what platforms is Sapphiro card issued like Visa and Mastercard i know but which variants of visa and mastercard can anyone let me know if they have sapphiro card on visa or mastercard then…..

 

[AkashS]

You can even later become eligible for other amex cards too

I got ICICI coral amex card. Am I eligible for normal amex card from American express even I'm at non serviceable pincode?

Do you have all 3 cards like others or your visa got cancelled? I recently got Dual version LTF. Is Rubyx is also available LTF ? I too being collector like to have ICICI gemstone as LTF

Does anyone know if they will launch Sapphiro rupay anytime soon?

Amex cards are not banned now.
Sapphiro is offered in either Visa signature or dual variant ( Mc + Amex ) , you cannot switch from visa to MC , if they approve your switch it will be from visa to dual

How to Switch From Visa Platinum to Dual Card ? Plz Share Procedure...I Got Sapphiro Visa platinum Variant which is unfair.. @anirban.choudhury

Called Customer Care but Declined

 

[suhasa010]

nope, it's still Visa Signature, my friend got it last month

They told me it's Visa Platinum when I was applying for Sapphiro LTF with Alumni Offer. So I opted for MC+AMEX.

 

[suhasa010]

could you please share benefits of dual variant ? with single visa variant we get BOGO offer twice...

With Mc and Amex you get 1 complimentary ticket each. And with Amex you receive it as cashback, not upfront discount.

Is paid Sapphiro worth it ?? Welcome vouchers aren't lucrative enough , any interesting benefits like better limit enhancements or something like better upgrade option ?

Not, worth it.

From where exactly do you go to this upgrade page? Their pages are so 1990s I'm not able to find this.

I got LTF Sapphiro Dual variant Amex + MC

Not a single ICICI CC is worth until its LTF.
Amazonpay is best ICICI CC.

@ashwink @anirban.choudhury @ak95

Is 50% higher PAYBACK points, the only reason for selecting dual variant instead of visa or is there anything more to it ?

As, PAYBACK points are anyway not that great, and AMEX lounge list too is quite short as its co-branded card, So could you please help me with the though process as to why dual variant would be better than single card (even number of lounge entries are same in both)

@Hitman_107, ak95 (tagged above) already has all 3 variant working, check: https://www.technofino.in/community/threads/icici-sapphiro-got-all-3-variants.11539/#post-201101

So, even you can do the same thing... But just wanted to know why you shifted from Dual to Visa ?
as, I think BMS is there for dual variant too.

Same question for me. I applied for visa variant. After submitting the application only I remembered about dual. When I asked the executive she told i cannot change it now because the application is already submitted.
In visa I don't have a signature card yet. So I think this would be sufficient.
Any other better use case for having mastercard and amex?

Visa signature
I had the visa variant initially which I converted to dual variant

Sir any specific reason for switch from visa to dual variant ?

 

[srikant]

Do the Amex/MC variants still require only INR5K quarterly spend? Or do they also need INR35K, like Coral RuPay?

Irrespective of the variant, Sapphiro is always 5K. It is not devalued yet.
