Big update coming for ICICI Bank credit cardholders
From February 1, 2026, ICICI is rolling out key rule changes — and the biggest one hits movie lovers directly.
What’s Changing?
BookMyShow Complimentary Movie Benefit — Discontinued
- The free / complimentary movie ticket benefit will no longer be available on select ICICI credit cards from Feb 1, 2026
- If you relied on ICICI cards for regular BOGO or free movie perks — this one hurts
Other Key Changes Also Kick In
- Reward rules and category eligibility continue as per revised structure
- Caps and conditions on certain spend categories (like transport, insurance, etc.) remain applicable
- Some benefits now require minimum spend thresholds to unlock (depending on card variant)
(Exact impact varies by card — Platinum, Coral, Rubyx, Sapphiro, Emeralde, etc.)
What This Means for You
- Occasional moviegoers: Not a huge loss
- Regular movie watchers: Time to rethink which card you swipe
- Premium cardholders: Entertainment perks are slowly being replaced by spend-linked benefits.
Quick Take
ICICI Bank’s Feb 2026 update marks another step in the slow exit of “easy perks” like free movies. If entertainment benefits matter to you, this is a good moment to re-evaluate your card mix before the new rules kick in.
