ICICI Bank Launches Sapphiro & Coral Forex Travel Cards

ICICI bank silently launches new gemstone collection of travel cards that are intended for international travellers spending in foreign currencies. The travel cards comes in two variants – Sapphiro & Coral just like their credit/debit card collection.

The benefits are surprisingly better with less fine prints in availing the offers linked to it. Let’s look into the cards in detail,

Table of Contents

Joining Fee

1. sapphiro travel card.

travel card offered by icici

  • Joining fee – Rs 2,999 + GST
  • Annual fee – Rs 999 + GST from the second year.
  • 0% mark-up charges on any cross-currency transactions (AMAZING!)
  • 5% cashback on all Airlines and hotel spends done through online channels, capped to Rs 3,000 per month
  • International lounge access: 2 complimentary lounge visits via DragonPass (digital access)
  • Uber vouchers: Rs 1,000
  • Avail of SRL Executive heath check-up worth Rs 2,750
  • Protect your cards and wallet with OneAssist Complete Cards protection
  • Lost Card/Counter card liability coverage of Rs 5,00,000

Its good to see Uber vouchers, maybe the right people read Cardexpert Super Premium Card Concept ?!

The only question here is the conversion rates on loading forex. As this info is not available for now, its pretty tough to conclude if we actually get 0% markup fee.

Rest of the features are amazingly crafted and as you can clearly see, the benefits are definitely greater than the fees charged. And hey, how can I miss about that stunning card design – its beautifully done!

2. Coral Travel Card

travel card offered by icici

  • Joining fee – Rs 499 + GST
  • Annual fee – Rs 299 + GST from the second year.
  • Uber vouchers: Rs 1,000 (min. loading: USD 1000)
  • Bookmyshow Vouchers: Rs.500

This is a very basic card and there is no discount on markup fee mentioned. Meaning, you’ll be charged 3.5%+GST or so. Hence, its safe to ignore this card and rather stick to premium credits cards like Regalia or other credits cards for international travel .

It looks like ICICI Bank is leaving no stones unturned when it comes to cards business. I’m super excited to see the kind of changes happening to the ICICI cards recently.

In a very short span of ~6 months, ICICI has made huge improvements on most things related to plastic cards. Good for them, good for us. 🙂

But…. you may still ask “Why Forex Cards?”

Well, as not everyone is credit card savvy, there still exists a huge demand for Forex cards in the country. So for them I believe ICICI Bank’s new Sapphiro travel card meets that premium traveller’s expectations. Hope there are no hidden terms!

But remember, as long as 5X/10X forex loading offers exists with HDFC, the HDFC Regalia Forex Card is always the best one.

What’s your take in ICICI bank’s move with gemstone collection of travel cards? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

Now I am thinking to card change my Jet Sapphiro to Sapphiro Travel just for 0% mark-up charge.

I mean for international spends.

travel card offered by icici

Jet Sapphiro is still great for forex spends, as long as you’ve trust in JPMiles at this time!

But yes, it makes sense anyway: low fee, more perks.

travel card offered by icici

how to apply for this card?what is required as a minimum salary for this???????

To buy your ICICI Bank Coral Travel Card, you may visit the nearest ICICI Bank Forex Branch or contact your Relationship Manager. Usually there are no income expectations for forex cards.

so what will be the limit then ,,its how much u recharge?????and i dont have a coount with icici

travel card offered by icici

I hold three cards from ICICI. The Rubyx, Sapphiro & Amazon Pay cards. I would like to close the Rubyx Card and request for an alternate option from the ICICI Card portofolio. Any recommendations? While lounge access would be an advantage, I would prefer a card with a good reward return rate. Does it still make sense to get a Jet co-branded Card given the present state of the airline ?

travel card offered by icici

Is Credit card better or Forex cards? Thinking of availing a Regalia Forex card, and loading it with my moneyback credit card, as there is 10x offer on it. Your thoughts on this please?

travel card offered by icici

Remember these are travel cards, which are prepaid. Also you don’t earn any reward points on these cards. Even HDFC Regalia forex card has 0% cross currency charges

travel card offered by icici

Could this be used for PayPal?

travel card offered by icici

I like the Sapphiro Travel Card, however had it been a credit card, it would probably have been the best. Something like 28 Degrees in Australia which is a credit card and charges 0% towards FCY

travel card offered by icici

Hoping they launch a credit card also with zero mark up fee soon. That sure would be lapped up :)…Await for more inputs of people who have used the Sapphiro Travel card.

travel card offered by icici

The question though, is, “What’s the currency loading fee ?”

travel card offered by icici

How long is the Dragon Pass Membership valid? Is it just for the first year or is it also valid for subsequent years?

Hi Sir, I am travelling to Europe for a student exchange program for three months. Can u suggest me a forex card?

travel card offered by icici

Got pre-approved offer for intermiles icici sapphiro credit card. No joining fees. Lifetime free. Went for it. Since now I am just a collector of free credit cards. 9th credit card.

travel card offered by icici

Is Sapphiro providing a mix of amex and mastercard privileges to a single card (in Visa variant) ? I got a call from RM. But details are not available in internet. its is said to be LTF.

travel card offered by icici

I spend a lot in AED and USD, so signed up for a Sapphiro card and paid the joining fee of nearly 4000. Only to find that there is no significant gain in charges at reload, the rate was the same as the figure I got for Transfer overseas from my ICICI account. Unless you load up only USD and spend in other currencies, this card does not make sense is what I feel. I’m considering the Debit card offering from RBL now.

travel card offered by icici

Hey Sid Thanks for sharing information on travel forex cards. However, it has been 3 years since you’ve written an article on travel cards. It would be good to write an article on comparison of best travel cards, along with a summary of travel vs. credit cards for a short vacation.

Sometimes the best reason to have an airline credit card isn’t necessarily for the miles you can earn and redeem, it’s for the perks. 

You can earn far more points using Chase credit cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card and the Chase Freedom Flex℠ * The information for the Chase Freedom Flex℠ has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer. than you will from the cobranded United credit cards issued by Chase. And since you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards® points into United MileagePlus miles, there’s little reason to use a United card just to earn miles. 

Instead, you should have a United MileagePlus card for its benefits, including free checked bags and discounts on in-flight purchases. 

But there’s one other important benefit that you rarely see mentioned by Chase or United. MileagePlus cardmembers are eligible for “special member pricing” that’s otherwise reserved just for those with elite status. Just by having a United MileagePlus credit card, you’ll get the same, lower pricing that United elite status holders have access to, which can mean significant mileage savings on award flights.

What is “special member pricing”?

Let’s say you wanted to fly from Denver to Paris this summer. When I searched for flights on July 11, 2024, and filtered out options with more than one stop, I found flights starting at 70,000 miles.

travel card offered by icici

But once I added my card to my MileagePlus account and logged in as a cardholder, the same options were available starting at just 40,000 miles.

travel card offered by icici

You’ll notice that the lower priced options have a small notation indicating that it’s granted “special member pricing.” And true travel nerds might notice that the higher priced option shows a fare code of YN, while the lower priced option shows the code of XN, which is reserved for cardmembers and those with elite status.

Which credit cards offer United’s special member pricing?

All United MileagePlus credit cards issued by Chase include this benefit, which includes:

  • United Gateway℠ Card * The information for the United Gateway℠ Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
  • United℠ Explorer Card * The information for the United℠ Explorer Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
  • United Quest℠ Card * The information for the United Quest℠ Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
  • United Club℠ Infinite Card * The information for the United Club℠ Infinite Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
  • United℠ Business Card * The information for the United℠ Business Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
  • United Club℠ Business Card * The information for the United Club℠ Business Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

Except for the no-annual-fee Gateway card, all of these cards have an annual fee — starting at a $0 intro annual fee for the first year, then $95 for the Explorer card and topping off at $525 for the United Club Infinite card. 

If you’re just looking for access to lower-priced flight awards, you might be tempted to get the Gateway card, which comes with a welcome offer of 20,000 miles after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. Instead, I’d recommend getting either the Explorer card, which currently has a welcome bonus of 50,000 miles after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening, the Quest card, which offers 60,000 miles and 500 Premier qualifying points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening, or the Club Infinite card, which comes with 80,000 miles after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening.

After having the card for a year, you might decide that you want to keep the card for its other perks. But you can always request a downgrade to the no-annual-fee Gateway card. This move allows you to keep your miles and account open, eliminate the annual fee and continue to enjoy lower-priced flight awards.

Final verdict

The hardest part of award travel isn’t always earning the points and miles, it’s finding efficient ways to spend them. United makes this easy for those with elite status and anyone who holds one of their credit cards. By signing up for the best card offer available and longer-term keeping a no-annual-fee United card open at all times, you can be assured of the lowest prices when you book your United award tickets.

Credit card interest rates are often higher than other financial products like personal loans or mortgages so it's best to pay off your credit card balance in full every month .

More on our top Chase balance transfer credit cards

The Chase Slate Edge℠ is a no annual fee card with several features that can help you pay less interest, but doesn't earn rewards.

Get an automatic review for a higher credit limit when you pay on time and spend $500 in the first six months.

Notable perks

With the Chase Slate Edge , you are automatically considered for a 2% APR reduction if you pay your monthly bill on time and spend at least $1,000 on the card before your next account anniversary (terms apply). While you'll want a plan to pay off your balance transfer before the interest kicks in, this feature can help you lower your APR compared to what you might pay with other credit cards.

This card's insurance benefits include purchase protection, extended warranty protection, roadside dispatch and rental car collision and theft coverage (secondary in the U.S.).

[ Return to card summary ]

The Chase Freedom Unlimited® is one of CNBC Select's top no-annual-fee cash-back credit cards with a unique intro bonus and a handful of useful benefits to complement its cash-back earnings.

  • 6.5% cash back on travel booked through Chase Travel
  • 5% back on Lyft rides (through Mar. 31, 2025)
  • 4.5% cash back on dining
  • 4.5% cash back at drug stores
  • 3% cash back on all other purchases (on up to $20,000 spent in the first year)

Earn an additional 1.5% cash back on everything you buy (on up to $20,000 spent in the first year).

Cardholders can earn 5% cash back on Lyft rides through March 2025 and enroll for three complimentary months of DashPass (activate by Dec. 31, 2024). Purchases are also covered by a range of built-in protections like rental car collision damage insurance (secondary in the U.S.), extended warranty coverage, purchase protection and trip cancellation and interruption insurance.

While this is a cash-back credit card , you can boost the value of the rewards you earn by pairing this card with a Chase card that allows points transfers (such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card ). By transferring the rewards you earn to travel partners like World Hyatt, United MileagePlus and Air Canada Aeroplan, you can potentially book luxury hotels and flights for fewer points.

The Chase Freedom Flex℠ packs a punch with generous rewards in bonus categories that change every quarter and an easy-to-earn welcome bonus.

  • 5% cash back on the first $1,500 spent in categories that change each quarter, then 1% cash back (activation required)
  • 5% cash back on travel booked through Chase Ultimate Rewards®
  • 3% cash back on dining
  • 3% cash back at drug stores
  • 1% cash back on all other purchases

Earn a $200 bonus after spending $500 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. 

Cardholders receive discounts and special perks with partners like Lyft and DoorDash. There are also many valuable built-in protections for a no-annual-fee card, including:

  • Cell phone insurance
  • Rental car insurance (secondary in the U.S.)
  • Extended warranty coverage
  • Purchase protection
  • Trip cancellation and interruption insurance

When you have a Chase card that unlocks the ability to transfer Chase points to hotel and airline partners (like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card) , it increases the value of the Freedom Flex. So this isn't only a strong standalone rewards credit card , but it has synergies with other cards.

How to complete a Chase balance transfer

Chase typically charges a balance transfer fee from 3% to 5% with a $5 minimum. Before you complete a balance transfer , be sure the interest you save will outweigh the fee.

There are several ways to do a balance transfer with Chase. One of the best and easiest options is to complete a balance transfer when you apply for a card. When you do this, you'll be able to make the most out of your intro APR because any 0% interest timeframe you qualify for begins when you open the card.

If you want to perform a balance transfer with a Chase card you already have, you'll need to log in to your account and follow these steps:

  • Click "Pay & Transfer"
  • Then click on the "Transfer" dropdown menu
  • Select "Card balance transfers"

You can then select any of your Chase cards from a dropdown menu and see what balance transfer offers are available.

Are Chase balance transfers worth it?

When you make a balance transfer, you'll generally pay a fee of 3% to 5% of the balance. To determine whether a balance transfer is worth it, calculate how much you would save in interest compared to how much you'd pay in transfer fees.

What is one disadvantage of a 0% interest balance transfer card?

Aside from the balance transfer fees, the biggest downside to a balance transfer is you'll have the same amount of credit card debt as before. If you don't have a plan, or the resources, to pay off your debt before the intro APR expires, you'll be stuck paying interest once again.

Do balance transfers hurt your credit?

A balance transfer doesn't directly hurt your credit score and could help improve your credit if you're able to pay down your debt. However, you'll want to keep in mind that your credit score will temporarily dip when you apply for new credit (including a balance transfer card).

Bottom line

The top balance transfer cards Chase issues offer intro APR periods of 15 to 18 months, and these intro APR offers also apply to purchases, making them even more useful. If you're interested in paying less interest , these are some of the best offers available. When you're in credit card debt, your primary focus should be repayment, not earning rewards, but the fact that some of the cards on this list earn rewards is a nice bonus.

Our methodology

To determine which Chase cards are best for balance transfers, CNBC Select analyzed the Chase credit cards with intro APR balance transfer offers. We compared each card on a range of features, including the annual fee, rewards, welcome bonus and balance transfer fee. We also considered additional perks, consumer protections, the application process when available and how easy it is to redeem rewards. However, when you're in credit card debt, your priority should be repayment, so we focused more on the cards that provide consumers with the cheapest ways to pay off their debt rather than the number of rewards they could potentially earn.
