Our verdict

ICICI Coral is a decent entry-level card with a predictable 2 reward points per ₹100 (about 0.5% back) on retail spends and up to 4 domestic lounge visits per year at ₹500/year. It's a solid first card from ICICI Bank, but the flat reward rate and ₹1.5L fee waiver threshold make it less compelling compared to LTF alternatives like IDFC First Millennia.

Pros

  • 2 reward points per ₹100 on retail spends — simple, no category tracking
  • 1 domestic airport lounge visit per quarter (4 a year) when prior-quarter spend is ₹75,000 or more, plus 4 railway lounge visits a year
  • 25% discount on BookMyShow movie tickets up to ₹100, when prior-quarter spend is ₹25,000 or more
  • Annual fee waived at ₹1.5L annual spend

Cons

  • ₹500/year fee when similar benefits (like IDFC Millennia) are available at zero fee
  • 3.5% forex markup — no international use case
  • Reward points are less flexible than direct cashback
