ICICI Bank Sapphiro Credit Card

✈ Lounge Access Available ★ Up to 6 Reward Points per Rs.100 on international and select spends Premium & Luxury Travel Rewards Points & Rewards Dining & Groceries

Pick the Sapphiro if you want dining, movie, and travel perks bundled under one Rs.3,500 fee rather than juggling separate cards. The math works when you actually use the BookMyShow buy-one-get-one and the roughly Rs.9,000 joining vouchers: that alone clears the fee in year one. Skip it if you spend heavily abroad, since the 3.5% forex markup (as of 2026) is steep for a card that pitches international rewards, and the SCB Ultimate's flat 3.3% return beats Sapphiro's ~1% base for big spenders. Confirm current fees and lounge counts on icicibank.com.
