Flipkart VIP price going up from ₹499 to ₹799, wef 02/04/2025

Has anyone availabled the cancellation benefits of cleartrip that is available with flipkart vip membership?
I am aware that it can be availed once in the subscription timeframe, do i have to select anything for it be active ? What will be Time period in which I'll get 100% refund if i cancel the flight, any other hidden terms and conditions

I tried getting information from Flipkart support and vip page but couldn't get clear answers
 
Yes, got the full refund; only the 1re insurance fee was deducted. Within 3-5 days full refund.
Including the convenience fees ?



It's good that i checked the details terms and conditions before, where to find them ?
Vip page > FAQ > More Faq button
You'll find a hyperlink to ct max benefit or something, now you will find the details in faq section of this page

Only after reading it i got to know that the booking needs to be done through Clear trip app and not flipkart
 
It is 5 percent up to 100 you can earn and 5 percent up to 1000 you can spend. And wasn't the earn limit per transaction capped at 300 earlier?
That's where there is a silent devaluation besides the increase in price.
There are several devaluations.
- Earlier it was 5% supercoins upto 100 and extra 200 on 10k transaction. Now it is 5% upto 100 and extra 100 on 10k transaction.
- Earlier supercoins had validity of 1 year. Now it is 6 months for regular 100 and 3 months for extra 100. Such a short validity makes users spend unnecessarily on things on flipkart just to make sure hard earned super coins are not expired.
- Even VIP members have to pay convenience fee on flipkart minutes.
- Even with above, it might have been worth it for INR 499. New 799 (60% increase) is definitely too much for what you are getting.

Might make sense for someone who only orders on flipkart no matter the price on other platforms and order for large number of people.

Supercoin validity reduced to 1 month now. Supercoins have become pretty useless now unless you are ordering on Flipkart on daily basis.
 
Yeah most of the coins are regular.
Only above 10k transaction,you get 100 bonus coins which has 1 month validity.
+ U can buy flipkart gift card and you will get discount too with super coins.
So it is not a big issue
6 months validity for regular coins was there earlier. Check now. Here is what what I see.
Very clearly says 1 months. Same is reflected for supercoins from my last order. Regular super coins are valid for 1 month.

It said it will vary from 1-6 months.
But for my majority orders I am getting 6 months

There is very little benefit to be had (~0.8%) using supercoins for part payment while buying FK gift card. Plus the rest, if paid by FK-Axis CC, gets only 1% (not 5%). So it is a loss-making proposition.

My regular FK purchases have been mainly groceries, until they stopped all perishable products (like dairy) in my town. The price advantages of other products are vanishing by the day as well. So my FK grocery orders have majorly reduced since.

I don't see much point anymore in renewing my VIP subscription, -- let alone at the enhanced cost.

For VIP members, we can get 5% using Supercoins + 5% using SBI CB while buying FK GV.

I recently purchased (just to try out) a Rs 249/- GV by paying 247/- on FK-Axis card + 2 supercoins. I earned 2 points on the CC. I am a VIP member.

So the discount I got was just 0.80% due to the supercoins and 0.81% on the CC (so actually even less than the 1% I had reported). I don't have the SBI CB card.

Recently I found flipkart sponsoring some product with 100% super coin back, so if you a VIP member u can use max benefit of that. These 100% sc back offer generally come with sale, in this sale I purchased product of 1500+, total 5 products , ( just for received 100% sc coin for 1 product till now, I think fk will provide rest of sc after return period of those products )
