how to become flipkart plus member

To become a Flipkart Plus member, you don’t pay a fee; you qualify automatically once you complete enough successful purchases within a year on Flipkart.

Quick Scoop

  • Flipkart Plus is a free loyalty program, not a paid subscription like many others.
  • You unlock it by completing a minimum number of successful orders in the last 12 months (no order value condition is usually mentioned publicly).
  • Once eligible, your account is auto-tagged as Plus and you see the “Plus” badge and benefits in your Flipkart account.

Step‑by‑step: How to become Flipkart Plus member

  1. Create / log in to your Flipkart account
    • Use your mobile number or email to sign up or sign in.
  1. Place at least four successful orders in 12 months
    • Flipkart’s current structure treats “Plus” as the entry loyalty tier that unlocks after 4 successful purchases in a year.
 * Orders must be completed (delivered and not returned/cancelled after the return window ends). This is how similar loyalty criteria are described on help pages and guides.
  1. (Optional) Aim for Plus Premium
    • There is a higher level called Plus Premium , unlocked after 8 successful purchases in 12 months.
 * Your account auto‑upgrades from Plus to Plus Premium when you meet this criterion.
  1. Wait for automatic upgrade
    • Once you meet the threshold, Flipkart generally upgrades you automatically; you see a notification like “Congratulations, you are now a Flipkart Plus member” in app/email.
  1. Check your Plus status in the app
    • Open Flipkart app → go to “My Account” → look for “Plus” or “Plus Zone” badge and SuperCoins info.

What you get as a Flipkart Plus member

Typical benefits linked to the Plus tiers include:

  • SuperCoins on every order
    • You earn extra SuperCoins as cashback on eligible purchases, with per‑order and monthly caps.
  • Use SuperCoins for discounts
    • You can redeem SuperCoins to get extra percentage discounts (e.g., around 5% extra discount up to a limit) on select products.
  • Early access to big sales
    • During events like Big Billion Days, Plus users get early access to deals compared to non‑Plus users.
  • Special prices and “₹1 deals” on select products
    • Guides and explainers mention that Plus members sometimes see special low prices (including very low‑value deals) available only to members.
  • Better customer support
    • Plus and higher tiers get priority or “superior” support and easier access to help.

Flipkart’s current loyalty ladder looks like this:

Tier| How to unlock (approx)| Fee| Key benefits snapshot
---|---|---|---
Plus (entry)| 4 successful purchases/year 35| Free| SuperCoins on orders, early sale access, member‑only offers. 359
Plus Premium| 8 successful purchases/year 357| Free (via usage)| Higher SuperCoin earnings, stronger incentives in big sales. 357
VIP / Black| Paid subscription tiers| Paid| Extra SuperCoins, travel perks, entertainment perks depending on plan. 35

Mini forum‑style take: Is it worth chasing?

“Is Flipkart Plus really worth trying to get, or should I just wait for normal sale discounts?”

Different shoppers look at it differently:

  • If you order from Flipkart regularly through the year, you’ll likely hit 4 orders naturally and get Plus “for free” anyway, so there’s little downside.
  • If you rarely order, forcing extra purchases only for Plus usually isn’t financially smart unless you genuinely need those items.
  • Heavy festive‑sale shoppers like Plus because early access and SuperCoins can stack with bank offers and give better total value.

A simple example: if you already do 1–2 orders every big sale (electronics, fashion, essentials), you’ll generally cross the 4‑order mark in 12 months without extra effort and unlock Plus automatically.

Latest trend context (2024–2025)

  • Flipkart has expanded from just “Plus” to a multi‑tier loyalty system : Plus → Plus Premium → VIP/Black, with travel and entertainment perks on upper tiers.
  • Plus still remains the free entry tier and continues to be built around SuperCoins, early sale access, and special prices, which is why it’s still a common forum topic when people ask “how to become Flipkart Plus member.”

Quick checklist

  • Use a single Flipkart account.
  • Complete at least 4 successful orders in 12 months (aim for 8 if you want Plus Premium).
  • Avoid unnecessary returns/cancellations so your orders count toward eligibility.
  • Watch for the Plus badge and “Plus Zone” in your profile once you cross the threshold.
