ICICI Bank Emeralde Credit Card

ICICI Bank Emeralde Credit Card is among the most premium offering by the bank and can be considered a tough competitor to the HDFC’s Infinia credit card. With this card, ICICI targets HNIs (High Net-Worth Individuals) who frequently go on business trips and don’t want to compromise with their lifestyle. ICICI Bank Emeralde Credit Card offers exclusive benefits like a 24×7 concierge service (that provides assistance regarding hotel/restaurant reservations, flight bookings, car rentals), unlimited complimentary airport lounge access to domestic as well as international terminals, personal air accident insurance cover of Rs. 3 crore, etc. Keeping all the traveling requirements of its premium customers in mind, ICICI charges a nominal foreign currency markup fee of 1.5% on transactions made in a different currency and a zero cash advance fee on cash withdrawals from ATMs. ICICI Bank used to offer the Emeralde Credit Card in two variants- MasterCard and American Express variants. But since both these payment networks are currently not allowed to onboard new customers, the bank has recently also launched the card on the Visa platform. One unique feature of ICICI Bank Emeralde Credit Card is that it allows you to choose between two membership plans- the monthly plan, where the cardholders need to pay a monthly fee of Rs. 1,000 and the annual plan with an annual membership fee of Rs. 12,000.

Etihad Guest SBI Premier Credit Card

SBI tied up with the UAE-based Etihad Airways airline and launched two travel credit cards in 2019: Etihad Guest SBI Credit Card and Etihad Guest SBI Premier Card. Needless to say, the Premier version offers more benefits and also carries a higher annual fee. Back then, the travel industry was one of the booming industries in the country. SBI probably launched this card considering that the travel-related spends accounted for 33% of the overall card spends in the SBI credit card portfolio at the time of launch of the card (certainly not the case now, due to the COVID pandemic). Also, Dubai is one of the favorite destinations among Indian travelers as there is a fairly large diaspora of NRIs in Dubai and many Indian HNIs (high net-worth individuals) frequently travel to Dubai on business trips. Etihad Guest SBI Premier card earns you Etihad Airways AirMiles (called Etihad Guest Miles) for every Rs. 100 spent using the card (number of AirMiles earned varies depending upon the category of spends). You also get many travel-related welcome benefits and milestone advantages with the premier card. Keep reading to know more about the card:
