SBI Card, India’s largest pure-play credit card issuer, in partnership with IndiGo, India’s preferred airline, today launched the ‘IndiGo SBI Card’ as part of the IndiGo BluChip loyalty program. This premium co-branded credit card is available in two variants — IndiGo SBI Card and IndiGo SBI Card ELITE—offering a highly rewarding experience for frequent travellers. Cardholders will earn rewards on all spends within IndiGo’s ecosystem, as well as on hotel and travel bookings, among other categories. Customers can enroll digitally via SBI Card SPRINT on the SBI Card website or opt for offline enrollment at SBI Card retail kiosks.
The IndiGo SBI Card enhances the travel experience with a range of benefits designed to make every journey seamless and rewarding. Cardholders of the IndiGo SBI Card ELITE earn 7% rewards on spends within IndiGo’s ecosystem, while IndiGo SBI Card holders earn 3%. For hotel and travel bookings on other platforms, the IndiGo SBI Card ELITE offers 3% rewards and the IndiGo SBI Card 2%. Spends in all other categories earn 2% rewards on the ELITE variant and 1% on the standard card.
Rewards earned through the IndiGo SBI Card and IndiGo SBI Card ELITE go beyond points—they function as a comprehensive travel currency. Rewards are credited as IndiGo BluChips to the cardholder’s IndiGo BluChip account in every statement cycle and can be redeemed across IndiGo services including flight and hotel bookings, seat upgrades, meals, Fast Forward vouchers, and more. By combining everyday spends with travel privileges, cardholders can earn up to 29,000 bonus IndiGo BluChips annually.
