What is BluChip and how does the program work?
IndiGo BluChip is the official Indigo Airlines loyalty program, which allows passengers to earn reward points across flights, hotels, shopping, and lifestyle expenses. These points can be redeemed to cover the base fare of desired flight tickets. Unlike traditional frequent flyer programs, it’s closely tied to IndiGo’s co-branded credit cards, making it useful not only for flying but also for daily spending.
Please note that Indigo BluChip has now replaced its old loyalty program – IndiGo 6E.

You can also earn on IndiGo-marketed codeshare flights operated by Turkish Airlines and Qantas.
How to redeem BluChips
- Use BluChips to pay partially or fully for the base fare of IndiGo-marketed & operated flights.
- BluChips can be redeemed for add-ons (meals, baggage, seats). Only taxes, fees, and convenience charges are cash-only.
- For Cash & BluChips, at least 10% of the base fare must be paid with BluChips; the remaining base fare plus taxes/fees must be paid in cash.
Required BluChips closely track the cash fare and may vary by route, season, and demand.
Why BluChip works well for GCC travelers
- IndiGo has one of the strongest India-to-Gulf networks, flying to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Muscat, Jeddah, Kuwait, and Riyadh.
- For GCC-based Indians, this means you can earn rewards on family trips home and redeem them on both domestic and return flights.
- BluChip’s no-blackout policy ensures you can redeem during peak festival and holiday seasons, when Gulf–India demand is highest.
