Hi
@varkey, I was waiting for someone to write this so that I could lay down the exact details.
You would only get the invitation for the
Amazon Pay Card if you've been using Amazon India for a long-time and has a good spending (buying) history with them. Regardless of if you own the
ICICI Bank Credit Card or not.
(That's the criteria of Invitation).
You would get the acceptance, only if you have ICICI Bank Card with yourself (mostly ICICI Bank's Credit Card) with yourself with good standing.
(That's the criteria of Eligibility).
What you all have been saying is the Criteria of Eligibility. What I've been saying is about the Invitation.
If anyone is not getting the Invitation at first instance is because his/her account isn't in fair standings with Amazon India (In terms of Buying History or in terms of Account Standing).
Criteria of Invitation comes before Criteria of Eligibility in terms of
Amazon Pay Credit Card.
Example (Experienced): I've multiple Amazon Accounts (with and without
Amazon Prime): All of them have different mobile numbers with their own set of cards. Three of them have my name on it and others are on my family member's name.
Except for me, none of my family members have relationship with ICICI Bank.
Now, I already have ICICI Bank's Credit Cards with me and I've already applied (approve and in-hands) have the Amazon Pay Credit Card for the Account I use mainly (Amazon Account).
I have another account on family member's name, with his phone number and the card that account has is Axis Bank. He doesn't have any kind of relationship with ICICI Bank (neither in past and not in present too).
His (other family member) account has Invitation for Amazon Pay Credit Card. (Read above statement again)
^^ I've attached screenshot as a proof.
I totally understand that people would want to correct others but I rather speak on the topics of Credit Card only when I'm confirmed at least to that fact that I've true experience behind that. I've attached the screenshot as a proof (and ready to attach the sanitized screenshot of my Card as well if admin is ready to make the thread private).
I hope I'm able to make the process crystal clear to all of you.
TL;DR: If anyone doesn't have good standing with Amazon, he/she won't get Amazon Pay Credit Card Invitation regardless of he/she has any relationship with the bank or not.
Also, as to how you have the offer, maybe they checked your mobile number with ICICI or something, cause there is no point in showing the offer to a customer who does not have an existing ICICI relationship, cause they simply won't be able to get it.
They cannot check my details with the Bank until I give them any sort of permission to do so. So, Amazon has no way to know I've any relationship with the bank or not until I actually start the process of Amazon Pay Card.
Just in case, anyone says. They can know by your added payment methods?
- Read whole message again from top-to-bottom.
- I can use any person's ICICI Bank's Credit/Debit Card on my Amazon Account doesn't mean I own that card. That would be the most stupidest way to invite.
