Several ICICI customers ask whether it is possible to move iShop reward points between their accounts and those of their friends who own ICICI credit cards. ICICI excludes the option to transfer reward points between users from their current functionality.
ICICI Bank does not provide a means to transfer iShop reward points between customer accounts. Users can try different solutions to overcome this point transfer limitation. Add-on cardholders who have an ICICI credit card with their primary cardholder can access all gathered points.
When you decide to use your reward points for transportation or accommodation bookings or shopping vouchers you have the ability to share the resulting reservations or vouchers with another individual. The process of redeeming reward points yourself provides a convenient method to prevent unwanted loss of points.
ICICI Bank will likely create a reward points gifting feature in upcoming years since banking organizations are currently pursuing this direction. The optimal approach at the moment is to use your points in a strategic way to enjoy available benefits.
I’ve got a bunch of iShop points saved up, and I was wondering if I could use them to book a flight for a friend. Since I can’t transfer points to their account, is there a way to still share the booking with them?
The loyalty points from your program allow you to reserve a booking under your name before sharing its details with your friend. You can redeem your loyalty points to make reservations in your name before sharing details about the travel experience with a friend. This method enables you to give away your travel experiences though it does not involve point transfers. Your points are redeemed through your account yet the reservation remains flexible enough to provide use to any party. Direct point transfers are not needed to provide someone with a travel present because this method works effectively. You should book the reservation with your own name to ensure it becomes available for anyone.
That’s great! The inability to perform direct point transfers made me fearful of being left with unused points because I wanted to bestow them on family members. Rainbow Travel provides me with peace of mind that I can present travel gifts to others through an alternative process even though point transfers are prohibited. I am relieved to find this workaround solution which permits point usage when the feature has yet to become accessible. The workaround system provides me with the sensation of maximizing my program benefits because points can be shared indirectly.
Exactly. The current booking option serves well until the company realizes its potential to add a point-gifting feature. A direct point transfer capability between accounts would provide great convenience since it could support gifting opportunities. People can use reservation bookings as a temporary solution because the company has not yet introduced direct point-gifting capabilities. The reservation booking method enables point sharing that enables guests to receive travel benefits even if direct point transfers are not possible yet. The direct point transfer ability should be implemented by Marriott in the future yet using this current method helps optimize your reward benefits.
