Amazon Pay and ICICI Bank Limited today announced the launch of Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card in partnership with Visa. This is a premier partnership between the e-commerce and the banking giant in the nation that rewards Amazon customers, based on their purchases.
Amazon Prime members earn 5% reward points on shopping on Amazon India, whereas regular Amazon customers get 3% reward points. Also, customers using Amazon Pay to pay to merchants and businesses earn 2% reward points, across categories such as food delivery, utility payments, movie ticketing and much more. Customers can also earn rewards at millions of merchant locations throughout India that accept Visa.
As of now, selected Amazon and ICICI Bank customers are able to avail this offering, however, the program will be extended in future. The selected customers will be able to see their invite on the Amazon app. If they wish, they can immediately get a digital, paper-free card and start using it. However, a physical card will be sent to them as well.
Under this program, each reward point is equivalent to a rupee and the rewards earnings are credited monthly to the customer’s Amazon Pay balance under Gift and Credits section. Customers then can use the amount to shop on Amazon India or can pay partner merchants. The reward points are uncapped and do not expire, and there are other benefits like fuel surcharge waivers, No-cost EMI offers & surprise bonus points during sale events on Amazon.in and Amazon Pay partner merchants.
