Bottom Line

MakeMyTrip is a well-known platform for booking family trips, vacations, weekend getaways, honeymoons, and more. Whether it’s flights, hotels, cabs, or buses, MakeMyTrip offers the best deals and prices. The MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card is a versatile travel co-branded credit card with multiple travel-focused features. The only requirement is that all bookings and expenses must be made through MakeMyTrip to ensure you earn the highest rewards.

This card offers plenty of domestic airport lounge visits, but the number of international lounge visits is limited to just one, and both are only valid for the primary cardholder. One of the best features of this card is the low Forex markup charge of 0.99%, which is beneficial for making international purchases. The reward-based system is only good if you make spends on MakeMyTrip. Basically, only those who make spends with the online travel booking platform can fully take advantage of this card.

For those who book their travel through MakeMyTrip, this is the perfect card, especially considering that the previously issued MMT ICICI co-branded credit cards have now been discontinued.
