Stop letting your Flipkart SuperCoins expire on small shopping discounts! 🛍️✈️ You can convert your everyday shopping rewards directly into airline miles and luxury hotel stays. Here is the complete cheat sheet of every Flipkart SuperCoin transfer partner and their standard conversion ratios: ✈️ Airline Partners (SuperCoins : Miles) • IndiGo BluChip: 3:2 (Best airline ratio!) • Air India Maharaja Club: 2:1 • Qatar Airways (Avios): 2:1 • Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer: 3:1 • AirAsia Rewards: 5:4 (via Maximize) • Finnair Plus (Avios): 5:4 (via Maximize) • SAS EuroBonus: 5:4 (via Maximize) • Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles: 25:16 (via Maximize) • Air Arabia AirRewards: 25:12 (via Maximize) • Ethiopian Airlines ShebaMiles: 25:12 (via Maximize) 🏨 Hotel Partners (SuperCoins : Points) • Marriott Bonvoy: 2:1 • ITC Hotels (Club ITC): 5:4 (via Maximize) • ALL - Accor Live Limitless: 5:2 (via Maximize) • The Orchid Hotels: 5:4 (via Magnify) 💡 Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for limited-time Maximize bonus windows in the Flipkart app, where partners like Finnair, AirAsia, SAS, and Club ITC occasionally jump to 1:1 and Accor improves to 2:1!
Flipkart has introduced a limited-period loyalty transfer promotion in partnership with Maximize, allowing users to convert SuperCoins into airline miles and hotel points at significantly enhanced ratios till Nov. 8. Key promotional conversion highlights include: • 1:1 Ratio: Finnair Plus (Avios), SAS EuroBonus, AirAsia Rewards, and Club ITC • 2:1 Ratio: ALL Accor Live Limitless • 5:3 Ratio: Air Arabia AirRewards and Ethiopian Airlines ShebaMiles The 1:1 transfer to Finnair Plus presents a notable opportunity for frequent flyers, as Avios balances can be linked and transferred at a 1:1 ratio to British Airways and Qatar Airways for premium flight redemptions. Meanwhile, the 2:1 Accor ratio effectively values SuperCoins at approximately ₹0.90 each toward global hotel stays. Please note that conversions must be initiated directly within the Partners section of the @Flipkart App. h/t @LiveFromALounge
