Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank Credit Card
The Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank Credit Card is a cricket co-brand for CSK fans — it earned 10 ICICI Reward Points per ₹100 on CSK match days (2 RP per ₹100 otherwise, 1 on utilities), a 2,000-RP joining and renewal gift, complimentary CSK home-match tickets, player meet-and-greets and autographed memorabilia for top spenders. The ₹500 fee waived at ₹1.5 lakh. ICICI has since CLOSED the card to new applicants, and — like the wider 2026 ICICI portfolio — its everyday perks are spend-gated: the movie benefit needs ₹25,000 of quarterly spend and the 4 domestic lounge visits a year need ₹75,000. Since 15 Nov 2024 the bill categories are capped too — ₹40,000 a statement cycle of utility spend, ₹40,000 of insurance and ₹20,000 of grocery and departmental spend earn anything at all. With reward points worth about ₹0.25 each, the base earn was a thin ~0.5%; the real draw was always the fan experiences rather than the economics. Existing holders keep their benefits; new applicants should look at an active ICICI card.

What your ICICI Reward Points are worth
Realistic value per point by redemption route — the difference is what most people leave on the table.
Statement credit BEST 1 RP = ₹0.40 against the statement — ICICI's only published rate
Amazon / Flipkart vouchers BEST Voucher store; ICICI publishes only an 'up to ₹1' ceiling, never a realised rate
iShop flights & hotels BEST iShop travel; rate is set per card at checkout, so the ₹1 ceiling is not a value
The concern The card is closed to new applicants, and even when open the economics were weak — a ~0.5% base earn on points worth ₹0.25, with the movie and lounge perks gated behind ₹25,000 and ₹75,000 of quarterly spend. Value lived entirely in the CSK fan experiences.
The bottom line
This was always a card for supporters first, and a rewards vehicle only incidentally — access to CSK matches and players mattered far more than the modest ~0.5% base earn rate. With applications now closed and the movie and lounge benefits reshaped around 2026 spend thresholds, there's little case for chasing this card even if ICICI reopened it tomorrow.
