About the IndiGo Kotak Credit Card

Kotak Mahindra Bank has partnered with IndiGo Airlines to offer two co-branded credit cards: IndiGo Kotak and IndiGo Kotak XL. These cards are exclusively available to IndiGo BluChip members, allowing them to earn rewards in the form of BluChips, the loyalty points of the IndiGo BluChip program. This program replaces the earlier IndiGo 6E Rewards scheme, and existing Kotak IndiGo 6E Rewards cardholders are expected to transition to the new IndiGo cards according to their eligibility.

The IndiGo Kotak Credit Card is the standard variant, offering up to 19 BluChips for every ₹100 spent on IndiGo flights. Dining and entertainment expenses also earn additional BluChips. Cardholders can receive vouchers worth up to 10,000 BluChips through welcome, renewal, and milestone benefits. Designed for frequent travelers and loyal IndiGo flyers, the card focuses on maximizing rewards for travel-related spending.
