Expert Verdict

One of India's most popular lifetime-free cards, paying an uncapped 5% to Amazon Prime members and 1% elsewhere in never-expiring ₹1-value balance, now with a reduced 1.99% forex markup. The lack of lounge access and reliance on the Amazon ecosystem are its only real limits, and at zero cost it is hard to fault.

The Bottom Line

The Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card is built for amazon prime shopper and no-fee everyday user. With no annual fee, it offers 5% rewards on amazon (shopping) and fuel surcharge waiver. It makes the most sense if your spending matches amazon prime shopper and no-fee everyday user.

What we like
+Lifetime free – zero joining and zero annual fee, with Amazon Pay Balance rewards that never expire and have no minimum redemption.
+Amazon Pay Balance is worth a full ₹1, with up to 5% on Amazon.in (3% for non-Prime) and 5% on Amazon Pay travel.
+2% (2 per ₹100) on Amazon Pay merchant spends and 1% base on everything else.
+Accelerated rates carry no monthly caps, unusual for an entry-level card.
+Reduced 1.99% forex markup (down from 3.5%), fuel surcharge waiver (₹400–₹4,000) and 3-month no-cost EMI on Amazon.
What we don't
No airport lounge access at all.
No cashback on rent, tax, education, EMI transactions or utilities at non-Amazon merchants.
Real value is heavily tied to the Amazon ecosystem; off-Amazon spends earn only 1%.
A 1% fee now applies to wallet loads of ₹5,000+ (effective Jan 2026).

Welcome Offer

Welcome Benefit

No fixed, officially-confirmed welcome bonus is listed on the current ICICI product page or FAQ. Some 2026 third-party reviews mention promotional/time-bound activation offers (e.g. 'up to INR 2,500 in value' for non-Prime, richer for Prime), but these are not confirmed in official terms and appear to vary by acquisition channel and period.

Eligibility

  • Min Income: ₹3.6 Lakhs
  • Lifetime free; age 18-60; min monthly income Rs 25K (ICICI customer) or Rs 30K (non-ICICI); 5% cashback for Prime, 3% for non-Prime on Amazon.

Exclusions & Terms

Forex markup

  • Foreign currency markup

EMI Transactions

  • EMI transactions, EMI-on-call and cash transactions do not earn reward points; points are clawed back if a transaction is converted to EMI after the fact. Merchant 'No Cost EMI' (3-month tenure) is available on Amazon.in but does not itself earn cashback.

International Transactions

  • International/forex transactions do not earn reward points, effective Oct 11, 2025, and carry a 1.99% currency conversion markup (reduced from 3.5% as part of the same Oct 11, 2025 revision).

Wallet Load

  • A 1% fee applies on Amazon Pay wallet loads of INR 5,000 or more, effective Jan 15, 2026 (per multiple third-party sources); loads below the threshold are fee-free and still earn 1% cashback. Not verbatim-confirmed in the fetched T&C body text (likely sits in the fee/tariff annexure), so recorded at medium confidence for the exact threshold.

Skill Based Gaming

  • A 2% fee applies on skill-based gaming transactions, effective Jan 15, 2026, per multiple third-party sources; the official T&C confirms 'Skill Based Gaming' (MCC 5816) as a distinct restricted category but the fetched clause text does not spell out the fee percentage verbatim.
