IndiGo's New Frequent Flyer Program - BluChip​

TLDR: Limited details added so far with no information on value of each chip. Scroll for our recommendations for best credit cards for Indigo

IndiGo's new frequent flyer program, IndiGo BluChip, allows members to earn BluChips on every IndiGo flight across both domestic and international routes. Members earn 8 BluChips for every INR 100 spent, with bonus points for higher-tier members (Blu 1 earns an additional 4 BluChips/INR 100; Blu 2 earns 2 extra BluChips/INR 100). Booking through IndiGo's website or mobile app also provides a Channel Bonus of 4 BluChips/INR 100. Passengers can retroactively claim BluChips within 90 days of a flight, provided they update their membership number.

In addition to flights, members can earn BluChips on select 6E Add-ons, such as excess baggage, seat selection, and priority check-in. Like flight bookings, these add-ons also provide 8 BluChips/INR 100 with potential bonus points for Elite members. BluChips can be redeemed for any IndiGo flight (economy or Stretch class), with no blackout dates or seat restrictions, but cannot be used for add-ons, taxes, or fees.

Best Credit Cards for Earning IndiGo Benefits​

Indigo has not declared any additional miles earnings for their existing co-branded card offerings (both the Kotak and HDFC cards don't offer great value, and Kotak isn't even allowed to issued cards as this was written).

Axis Atlas becomes an even better choice for Indigo as one gets 50% bonus BluChips for booking directly on Indigo website / app. Click here to apply!

All other cards from our flights section should be very useful as well, given that Indigo does award BluChips for bookings through platforms / OTAs
