ICICI Bank & MakeMyTrip launch co-branded credit card for travel enthusiasts

The MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card is powered by Mastercard and RuPay; cardholders earn unlimited reward points that never expire

ICICI Bank partnered with MakeMyTrip (MMT) to launch a premium co-branded credit card, specially curated for the aspirational travellers of the country.

The MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card aims to enhance the travel experience with unlimited rewards that never expire. The card offers a unique value with myCash (MakeMyTrip’s reward currency), where 1 myCash is worth ₹1 in spendable money. It offers 6% myCash on hotel bookings, 3% myCash on flights, holidays, cabs, and buses, and 1% on other retail spends—all in addition to applicable MakeMyTrip discounts.

This card is issued as a dual offering as it comes with the convenience of two cards, one each powered by Mastercard and RuPay. Furthermore, the RuPay credit card can be linked to UPI, enabling safe and secure transactions through UPI enabled Apps. The co-branded credit card also offers complimentary MMTBLACK Gold membership, providing exclusive benefits across hotels, flights, and holiday packages.

Speaking on the occasion, Rakesh Jha, Executive Director, ICICI Bank, said, “We have seen that the Indians are travelling more frequently and are looking for richer reward propositions that provide them flexibility in redemption and cater to their refined tastes. We believe this new credit card is going to play an important role in the overall personal banking experience offered by ICICI Bank to its customers.”

Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder and Group CEO, MakeMyTrip, said, “We are delighted to launch the MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card, setting a new benchmark by offering a value proposition that truly stands out in the market. Leveraging our deep understanding of the Indian customer, we have introduced a card that combines comprehensive lifestyle privileges, never-expiring reward points, and complimentary MMTBLACK Gold membership—designed to deliver unparalleled benefits.”

Gautam Aggarwal, Division President, South Asia at Mastercard, said, “The growth of India on global stage has led to Indians becoming among the most travelled people in the world, with spends shifting towards experiential travel. India is also becoming a preferred inbound destination, not only for its sights, but also for people to experience its rich heritage through food, festivals, and spirituality. Through this collaboration with ICICI Bank and MakeMyTrip, Mastercard is excited to power the launch of a card which helps create priceless experiences across 210 countries and territories.”

Rajeeth Pillai, Chief Relationship Management, NPCI said, “The MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card, powered by RuPay, offers unparalleled benefits and rewards specially curated for travel enthusiasts. Additionally, ICICI Bank customers can link their RuPay Credit Card to UPI ID, thus directly enabling safe, and secure transactions. With this feature, customers can enjoy greater flexibility and a wide range of online and offline merchant payment options, all without the need to carry physical cards.”
