Need Help: ICICI Sapphiro LTF with 1.4L Salary, Listed Company & 8+ Years ICICI Relationship

Apply For Lifetime Free IDFC First Credit Card

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking advice on securing the ICICI Sapphiro Credit Card as Lifetime Free (LTF) based on my profile. This community’s insights are invaluable, and I’d appreciate your guidance!

My Profile:

- Salary: ₹1.4 lakh/month (net)

- ICICI Relationship (8+ years):
- Salaried account
- ULIP plan (₹50K/year premium)
- Land loan (₹10 lakh, regular repayments)
- ICICI Credit Cards:
- Amazon Pay Card: ₹6.5L limit (LTF)
- HPCL Super Saver Card: ₹3.6L limit

- Other:
- CIBIL: 804 (clean credit history)
- My company is on ICICI’s listed tie-up for LTF cards.
- Not eligible for Alumni Program.

Attempts So Far:
- Applied through my Relationship Manager (RM) and contacted the Customer Care (CC) team, but they said LTF Sapphiro isn’t showing as an option while salting the card.

- In iMobile’s upgrade section, I only see Emerald paid cards (Visa/MC variants) and HPCL Super Saver (which I already hold), no Sapphiro.

Goal: Get Sapphiro LTF without Wealth Management or large deposits (₹10L+).

Questions:

1. My salary (₹1.4L) is below the ₹1.5L threshold, but my company is listed. Can I negotiate LTF using my 8+ year ICICI relationship, ₹10.1L total credit limits, or listed company status?

2. Has anyone with a similar profile (sub-₹1.5L salary, listed company) gotten Sapphiro LTF? What steps worked (e.g., escalations, branch visits)?

3. Any tips for escalating to senior management or reliable contacts for LTF approval?

4. If LTF isn’t possible, is First Year Free (FYF) Sapphiro feasible with my profile?

Thanks for any advice, success stories, or contacts (e.g., RMs, escalation points)! Hoping my listed company and long ICICI relationship help. 😊

Is there a way, your one month salary could be 1.5 lakh plus? Like getting some bonus or something. If yes, use that salary slip next month to apply from the campaign where they are providing LTF cards to corporate employees. Else you have to take Rubyx and wait for offer to get it upgraded to Saphiro.

I applied few months back and they asked me only one month salary slip.
 
I'm currently holding rubyx (MC+AMEX) with LTF. I was getting salary of 75k when I received these cards. In app it's showing like 6.5k Joining fee and 3.5k Annual fee. My RM told like currently it is showing 3.5k joining and annual fee, have to spend 4.5L to meet the fee waiver if I applied through him. He said when I crosses 1L per month salary (currently 90k), he would get it for LTF. Currently I'm getting calls from ICICI for FYF cards and annual fee from 2nd year to upgrade my Rubyx.
Note: Iwant to upgrade Sapphiro to get 2 international lounge access with addon card.
