Our verdict

ICICI Rubyx is best known for its complimentary golf rounds, up to 2 a month (one per ₹50,000 spent in the prior month), on a ₹2,000 annual fee and ₹3,000 joining fee. The 8 domestic lounge visits per year need ₹75,000 spend in the preceding quarter, and there are 8 railway lounge visits too. Rewards are 2 points per ₹100 on domestic spends (about 0.5%) and 4 on international (about 1%), with a minimum income of ₹75,000 a month.

Pros

  • Up to 2 complimentary golf rounds per month, earned at one per ₹50,000 spent in the prior month
  • 8 domestic lounge visits per year (subject to ₹75,000 spend in the preceding quarter) plus 8 railway lounge visits
  • Air accident insurance cover of up to ₹1 crore
  • Annual fee waived at ₹3 lakh spend

Cons

  • 2 reward points per ₹100 on domestic spends is mediocre for a ₹2,000 annual fee card
  • Reward rate is higher only on international spends (4 points per ₹100); utility and insurance earn just 1 point
  • 3.5% forex markup — not suitable for international use
