IndiGo Credit Card Offers: First Year Free

The 6E Rewards card is usually priced at INR 700 per annum, and the 6E Rewards XL is priced at INR 2,500 per annum. But for a limited time, IndiGo and HDFC Bank are offering the Credit Card for free. If you apply for the Ka-ching credit card between November 13 – December 31, 2020, you can get the Annual Fee applicable to Ka-ching credit card in the first year waived off.

Only complete applications submitted during the Offer Period and approved before December 31, 2020, will be eligible for the waiver of First Year Annual Fee. The fee will be charged to your card account and then reversed. Employees of InterGlobe Aviation Ltd. and HDFC Bank Limited are not eligible for the Offer.

Or you can get this card Lifetime Free

There is also a second offer going on at the moment, which offers you the ability to get these cards lifetime free. There is just one sacrifice asked of you. Some welcome benefits on the card go away, including the free air ticket and 6E Prime Addon. I think this is an elementary benefit to go away given you are potentially getting the card for free for a lifetime.

You need to ensure you pick the right version when you are making your application. You can access the application website here.

I think this is an excellent promotion for those who don’t have the HDFC IndiGo co-branded credit card and would like one.  Which variant would you opt for? Getting a free ticket and paying for the card in the second year and onwards, or take it free for a lifetime?

  1. Hi,
    I jave just receive upgrade my Ka-Ching XL card. There is compliment air ticket bit I am unable to book that free ticket from Indigo mobile application

  2. I need indigo 6E reward card but without any annual fee for life time.
    I am freqent flyer internationally and using indigo flight normally.
    I have HDFC bank account.
    Suggest me if this card available at no annual fees.

  3. If I am already a HDFC credit card holder then I can’t get this co-branded one?
    Is one regular CC and one co-branded CC allowed?

    • @Pratik, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Seems someone realised the crosses and ticks on the website were all wrong. No Lounge access for the lower end card and lounge access exists for the higher end card. I will fix this around our text as well.

    • No, HDFC doesn’t allow this. I had applied for the card in the earlier offer period but didn’t take it as they said my existing DCB will be cancelled. There isn’t also any option of splitting the limit too.

  4. It’s a good offer to go for the XL life time free variant if one is a frequent traveler. But since most of my travel are work related & tickets books by the company, it doesn’t appease me. Sticking to the current cards works for me as I can book the flights of my choice for my personal travel.

    • Absolutely, especially those who have premium cards from HDFC (DCB, Infinia) would probably use Smartbuy to book flight tickets & get 10X with upto 33% return. Isn’t it?
