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.

If you hold this card: You keep the card and its CSK fan benefits — complimentary home-match tickets, player meet-and-greets and the reward points all continue. Only new applications have stopped. Note the 2026 ICICI devaluation still applies: the movie benefit needs ₹25,000 and lounge access ₹75,000 of quarterly spend.

ICICI closed the Chennai Super Kings co-brand to new applicants — its own page now states "We are no longer accepting applications." It was always a fan card first (CSK tickets and player access) rather than a rewards play, with a thin ~0.5% base earn. New customers wanting a starter ICICI card are steered to the lifetime-free Amazon Pay ICICI or the Coral.

In-depth review

Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank Credit Card

The Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank Credit Card was a cricket co-brand for CSK fans — complimentary home-match tickets, player meet-and-greets, autographed memorabilia and 10 reward points per ₹100 on match days. ICICI has since closed it to new applicants. Existing holders keep everything; the base earn was only ~0.5% and the movie and lounge perks are now spend-gated, so the fan experiences were always the real point. New customers should pick an active ICICI card instead.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still apply for the CSK ICICI card?
No — ICICI is no longer accepting applications for the Chennai Super Kings ICICI Bank Credit Card. Existing cardholders keep their benefits.
What did the card earn on CSK match days?
10 ICICI Reward Points per ₹100 on all retail spends (except fuel) on CSK match days, versus 2 per ₹100 otherwise. In effective-return terms this card's best everyday earn is 0.5% on everyday spends — percentages here are the real return after converting points at their card-specific value, not the headline points-per-₹100. Figures as of October 2026.
What CSK fan benefits did it offer?
Complimentary CSK home-match tickets, meet-and-greet sessions with players, and autographed memorabilia for top spenders.
What should a new customer choose instead?
An active ICICI card — the lifetime-free Amazon Pay ICICI for rewards, or the Coral for a starter card with lounge and movie perks.
Is there a cap on reward points?
Yes. Since 15 November 2024 only ₹40,000 of utility spend, ₹40,000 of insurance and ₹20,000 of grocery and departmental spend earn points in a statement cycle — 400 points each. Anything above those lines earns nothing.

The bottom line

A fan's card first and a rewards card a distant second — CSK match tickets and meet-and-greets were the point, not the thin ~0.5% base earn. It is now closed to new applicants, and its movie and lounge perks were spend-gated in 2026, so there is little reason for a new customer to seek it out even if it reopened.

How this page was built

Counted from this card’s own record: 4 earn rules, 3 of them capped, the spends listed as earning nothing and 5 recorded perks. The renewal fee is conditional — it is waived on a published spend target, so the fee you pay depends on what you spend.
