The MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card is a travel co-branded card that earns myCash rewards on every purchase, with accelerated rates on MakeMyTrip bookings. A joining fee of ₹999 plus GST gets you a ₹1,000 MakeMyTrip voucher (valid for one year) and a complimentary one-year MMTBLACK Gold membership, effectively making the joining cost negative on day one. The annual fee of ₹999 plus GST gets waived when you cross ₹3 lakh in yearly spend, and paying it triggers another ₹1,000 hotel voucher valid for three months.The myCash structure rewards MakeMyTrip users heavily. Hotel bookings earn 6% myCash, flights, bus, and cab bookings earn 3%, and all other retail purchases earn 1%. These myCash rewards never expire once credited to your MakeMyTrip wallet, a real advantage over cards with 2-3 year expiry windows. Spending through the iShop portal earns up to 4% cashback at select merchants, adding a layer of value beyond travel.International travellers benefit most from the 0.99% forex markup, one of the lowest across all Indian credit cards. Most cards charge 3.5% or higher, so this card saves roughly ₹2,500 on every ₹1 lakh spent abroad. Airport lounge access cove₹2 domestic visits per quarter and 1 international visit per year. The card arrives as a dual set (Mastercard plus RuPay), giving you network flexibility across merchants both in India and overseas.This card suits anyone who books regularly on MakeMyTrip and travels internationally. If your spending is not concentrated on travel, the 1% myCash on other purchases is lower than the 2% most general-purpose cards provide. Since myCash can only be redeemed on MakeMyTrip, it lacks the flexibility of convertible reward points. For non-travel spenders, a general rewards card will deliver more value per rupee.

The joining fee is ₹999 plus 18% GST. On paying this fee, you receive a ₹1,000 MakeMyTrip voucher (valid for one year) and a complimentary one-year MMTBLACK Gold membership. The voucher alone covers the base joining cost.
The annual fee of ₹999 plus GST gets waived when your total spending in the year crosses ₹3 lakh. If you do pay the annual fee, you receive a ₹1,000 MakeMyTrip hotel voucher valid for three months as a renewal benefit.
Apply through the ICICI Bank website or iMobile app. The process is fully digital with no physical documents required. Provide your PAN and Aadhaar details, then complete video KYC with an ICICI Bank employee. The Video KYC process is available 24x7. Existing ICICI Bank customers may find a pre-approved offer in iMobile or internet banking.
Salaried applicants need a minimum monthly income of ₹20,000 (₹2.4 lakh per year). Self-employed applicants require an annual income of ₹2.4 lakh. You must be an Indian citizen aged 21 years or above. A credit score of 750 or higher is typically expected.
The card is offered as a dual proposition with both Mastercard and RuPay variants. You receive both cards to provide network flexibility, ensuring usage across a wider range of merchants and platforms both domestically and internationally. The RuPay variant also provides 24x7 concierge service.
On paying the joining fee, you receive a ₹1,000 MakeMyTrip voucher valid for one year and a complimentary one-year MMTBLACK Gold membership with added travel benefits and discounts. The voucher can be used for any booking on the MakeMyTrip platform.
Hotel bookings on MakeMyTrip earn 6% myCash, while flights, bus, and cab bookings earn 3% myCash. These are among the highest earn rates for any co-branded travel credit card in India. The myCash gets credited to your MakeMyTrip wallet and can be used for future bookings on the platform.
All retail purchases outside MakeMyTrip earn 1% myCash with no cap on earnings. The iShop portal provides up to 4% cashback at select merchants. This 1% base rate is lower than the 2% many general-purpose cards offer, so the card delivers the most value when used for MakeMyTrip bookings.
No, the myCash earned through the MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card does not expire once credited to the primary cardholder's MakeMyTrip wallet. This is a significant advantage over the older MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Signature and Platinum cards, where myCash expired within 12 months of the credit date.
myCash gets automatically credited to your MakeMyTrip wallet linked to your registered mobile number. When making a booking on MakeMyTrip (app or website), you can apply available myCash at checkout to reduce the booking amount. The myCash balance shows directly in your MakeMyTrip account under the wallet section.
The foreign currency markup is 0.99% on all international transactions, one of the lowest across Indian credit cards. Most cards charge 3.5% or higher. On a ₹1 lakh international spend, this saves you roughly ₹2,500 compared to a standard 3.5% markup card. This makes it an excellent choice for international travellers and online purchases from foreign merchants.
You get 2 complimentary domestic airport lounge visits per quarter (up to 8 per year) and 1 international airport lounge visit per year. This is available to the primary cardholder only. Most cards at this fee level offer either domestic or international lounge access, not both.
MMTBLACK Gold is MakeMyTrip's loyalty tier that provides additional discounts and benefits on travel bookings through the platform. The card gives you a complimentary one-year membership (excluding the myCash benefit of MMTBLACK). This membership would otherwise require a certain level of booking history to earn on MakeMyTrip.
You get 25% off (up to ₹150) on the purchase of a minimum of 2 movie tickets on BookMyShow and INOX. This offer is available twice per month. At maximum usage, this saves up to ₹300 per month or ₹3,600 per year on movie tickets.
Yes, purchases above ₹2,500 can be converted to EMI through the iMobile app or internet banking. MakeMyTrip bookings get an additional perk of 3 months no-cost EMI. Standard EMI conversions have tenure options and interest rates that depend on the transaction amount and your account standing.
The finance charge is 3.75% per month, which works out to 45% per year. This applies to any outstanding balance carried past the payment due date. Paying the full statement balance by the due date each month avoids interest charges entirely.
Late fees range from ₹100 to ₹1,300 depending on your total outstanding amount. These apply when you do not pay at least the minimum amount by the statement due date. Late payments also trigger interest charges on the remaining balance.
The minimum payment is 5% of the total outstanding balance or ₹200, whichever is higher. Paying only the minimum avoids late payment fees but triggers the 3.75% monthly finance charge on the remaining balance. Always pay the full statement amount when possible.
Yes, the Mastercard variant works at any Mastercard-accepting merchant worldwide. International transactions earn 1% myCash and carry just a 0.99% forex markup. This ultra-low markup makes it one of the best cards for international spending. The RuPay variant has limited international acceptance, so carry the Mastercard when travelling abroad.
The MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card is offered as a dual proposition with both Mastercard and RuPay variants. You receive both cards to provide enhanced network flexibility. Use the Mastercard for international transactions and wider acceptance, and the RuPay for domestic transactions where it provides 24x7 concierge service.
Yes, you can apply for this card even if you already hold another ICICI Bank credit card. Your application will be processed based on the bank's internal policies. If approved, you retain ownership of your existing ICICI Bank credit card and also get the new MakeMyTrip card.
No, the base MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card does not include a fuel surcharge waiver. If fuel savings are important to you, the MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Platinum Credit Card provides a 1% fuel surcharge waiver at HPCL outlets on ICICI Bank POS machines. Alternatively, ICICI cards like Rubyx and Coral offer fuel surcharge waivers at all fuel outlets.
An overlimit charge of 2.5% applies on the amount exceeding your approved credit limit. Transactions beyond the limit may also be declined depending on your payment history and account standing.
If you spend even ₹50,000 per year on MakeMyTrip hotel bookings, you earn ₹3,000 in myCash (6%). Add ₹1,000 from the welcome voucher and the MMTBLACK Gold membership perks, and the card easily pays for its ₹999 joining fee in year one. The 0.99% forex markup saves further on any international bookings. For someone spending ₹1 lakh+ on MakeMyTrip annually with some international travel, the value is strong. If you rarely use MakeMyTrip, a general rewards card will serve you better since myCash is locked to the platform.
