Every time I shop I use my ICICI Credit Card and I used it many times at Makemytrip and Lifestyle. I got points from all three of them. I have also redeemed over the web site. I got my gift in less than 10 days. Web site little slow but was fine.
Concept is very good if you know how to take advantage of it. Key is to shop with the ICICI Credit card at places where imint is already there and you will get points from imint merchant and the credit card. I saw an imint that said if you fly on Indian Airlines and purchase at makemytrip and use icici credit card, one can get points from all three of them. I am a frequent flyer and I plan to try this next time to not only get points from all three of them but also get frequent flyer miles at Indian. That makes it a lot of money back even for Rs. 3000 ticket. If what I understood is correct, Indian gives 3% and Makemytrip gives anywhere from 1% to 3% and ICICI gives 0.5%.
This could make it as low as 4.5% back or 6% back. In addition Indian gives frequent flyer miles. This is a very potent value back if one can really use. Only catch is that not all ICICI Credit cards are supported by imint today. I am sure over time they may be suppoted. So my suggestion is to read through the fine print and take advantage of it wherever possible.
