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's 5% up to 1000, not 100.

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.
