The IndiGo IDFC FIRST Dual Credit Card charges ₹4,999 plus GST as a joining fee and the same ₹4,999 again at renewal. IDFC FIRST Bank waives the renewal fee if you spend ₹5L in the previous year, which is about ₹41,667 a month. If your card spend sits below that, treat ₹4,999 as a real yearly cost that your rewards have to clear first.
Value of IndiGo BluChips may vary depending on route, booking date, and IndiGo discretion.
A foreign currency markup of 1.49% applies to international transactions.
No BluChips on cash and EMI transactions.
