The News
Starting October 11, 2025, the Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card is getting a major revamp. What was once just a “shopping card” is now stepping into the travel rewards game—while also slashing foreign exchange (forex) fees.
What’s Changing
- Lower Forex Markup: From 3.5% → 1.5% on international spends
- Travel Rewards Added: Earn extra rewards on flight, hotel, and holiday bookings made via Amazon Pay Travel
- Still Lifetime Free: No joining fee, no annual fee, benefits intact
Why It Matters
This move makes Amazon Pay ICICI one of the most affordable cards for global spends, especially for younger users who:
- Shop on international sites
- Travel abroad for work, leisure, or studies
- Want to avoid high forex charges
ICICI and Amazon are smartly positioning this card beyond e-commerce. By tapping into travel + international payments, it’s now more of an everyday + everywhere card.
If you already hold it, this is an automatic upgrade—no re-issuance needed.
