ICICI Bank has tied up now with IPL Team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and came up with a brand new credit card called Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank credit card or ICICI CSK credit card.

Here in this article we are going to provide all the details about the credit card, including benefits, reward system, charges, etc. We will also give detailed review and provide our opinion about the credit card.

Main Highlights of the Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank Credit Card

• Joining and renewal gift of 2000 reward points that can be redeemed against CSK merchandise.
• Monthly top spenders receive a marquee player autographed memorabilia.
• Exclusive “Meet and Greet” session, with select players.
• An opportunity, to attend a close practice session with the Chennai Super Kings Team.
• Get complimentary tickets to a Chennai Super Kings home matches, during the playing season.

Review: Looking at the benefits and as the name of the card suggests, its totally for CSK fans only. Hence, if you are not a cricket fan and IPL fan and CSK fan, then this card is not for you. According to us, the key highlights of the card, do not look good.

ICICI Bank Privileges for CSK Credit Card

• Joining of 2000 ICICI Bank Reward points (applicable only on payment of the joining fee and spends of Rs. 5000 in the first 45 days).
• Renewal gift of 2000 ICICI Bank Reward points (applicable only on payment of the annual fee).
• Monthly Top spenders will receive a marquee player autographed memorabilia.
• 25% discount, up to Rs 100, on a minimum purchase of 2 movie tickets per transaction, on BookMyShow and Inox. Valid twice in a month.
• Exclusive dining offers, through our ICICI Bank Culinary Treats Programme.
• 1% on fuel surcharge waiver, valid on a maximum spend of Rs 4,000 per transaction, at all HPCL pumps.
• You can redeem your points ICICI Bank Reward against exclusive CSK merchandise and other rewards.

Review: Except the movie discount nothings seems to be good. But the movie discount too is not something unique for this card. You can get such BMS offers in other cards as well. All other offers are CSK oriented, which is not that valuable. Even fuel surcharge waiver is also valid only on HPCL petrol pumps (please note this), which is not worth.

Domestic Airport Lounge Benefit on ICICI Bank Chennai Super Kings Credit Card

You get a complimentary airport lounge accesses, per quarter, on your Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank Credit Card, BUT there is a catch. You get this only if you spend Rs 5,000 in a calendar quarter on your card.

So basically, it works like this. If you spend Rs 5000 or more in first quarter in a calendar year, you get the lounge access in 2nd quarter. If you spend less than Rs 5000 in 2nd quarter, you will not get lounge access in 3rd quarter.

Review: Rs 5000 spend per quarter is not much, but this type of condition is not good, when most of the other cards offer the same without any condition.

Rewards Programme on Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank Credit Card

You will earn ICICI Bank Reward Points on every Rs 100 spent which are redeemable for exclusive CSK merchandise and other rewards. The earning conditions are as below:

Transaction Condition	Reward
All transactions except fuel on CSK match days	10 ICICI Bank Reward Points.
All transactions except fuel on other days	2 ICICI Bank Reward Points
On all Insurance and utility spends throughout the year	1 ICICI Bank Reward Points

Review: Frankly speaking, this is a very bad reward structure. You get basically only 1 point Insurance and utility bill payment and 2 points on all other transactions. You can disregard the 10 points structure as that you will get only on IPL match days of Chennai Super Kings. Which would be around 20 days a year. To get that 10 points you have to wait to make your transaction on a CSK playing day!
Most importantly, the reward redemption is only at CSK merchandise, so non CSK fans no offer for you.

Joining and Annual fees of CSK ICICI bank credit card

The ICICI Bank Chennai Super Kings credit card has a joining fee of Rs 500 + Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Conclusion about ICICI CSK credit card

I would suggest you not to take this card, unless you are a die hard fan of CSK and want to get free IPL match tickets and buy CSK merchandise items.
Considering the looks of the card, its good and cool. If you are a CSK lover and buy CSK merchandise items and want to get CSK match tickets, you may go for this card, but remember the charges. There are many other credit cards available as well which might get you much better offer.
