Flipkart Promo Codes & Coupons

The Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card and the Flipkart SBI Credit Card each pay their Flipkart cashback only up to a fixed cap per quarter, and spending above the cap earns none of it. The SBI card's cap also covers Flipkart Minutes, Grocery and Shopsy orders. If you hold both cards, switch to the second one once the first reaches its cap. If you hold only one, pay for the rest of that quarter's big orders with whichever bank card or payment method shows an instant discount on the payment page.

The SBI card counts calendar quarters, so its cap starts again on 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October. The Axis card counts statement quarters set by your own statement date. With a statement on the 15th, its quarters start on 16 March, 16 June, 16 September and 16 December. When a sale runs across your card's reset date, place one big order before it and the next one after it, so the second counts toward a fresh cap.

Buying Flipkart gift cards to use up the last of a quarter's cap does not work on the Axis card. Gift card purchases earn no cashback on it, so use any leftover cap only on orders you were going to place anyway.

When you buy a phone on Flipkart with exchange, the delivery executive checks your old phone at your door. The value drops for faults such as a cracked screen, dead pixels, a bent or cracked body, a missing button or SIM tray, or a swollen battery. View checks, inside the order on My Orders, lists how much each fault takes off, so read it before the pickup. Hand over the charger and the original box with the IMEI on it together, or neither, because if one is missing, the executive does not take the other and the value can drop.

Some problems stop the exchange completely: a phone that does not switch on, a model or IMEI that does not match what you entered, or a screen lock or iCloud lock that is still on. Before the visit, back up your data, remove every screen lock, sign out of iCloud on an iPhone and charge the phone to at least 50%. Factory reset it only after the executive finishes the checks, because the executive cannot check a phone that was reset beforehand and does not pick it up.

If the executive offers a lower value, you can accept or reject it. Before delivery day, decide the lowest exchange value you would accept after any pickup charge, by checking what the phone would fetch if you sold it yourself.

For Plus Silver and Plus Gold members, each item can take SuperCoins worth up to 5% of its price, and never more than 100 coins. An expensive phone takes no more than 100 coins, the same cap as any other item, and on Flipkart Minutes the limit is 2% of the whole order, again capped at 100. So spend a balance of several hundred coins on a regular Flipkart order with several items rather than on one expensive item, and check the SuperCoin offer on each product page, which shows how many coins that item can take.

A Flipkart BLACK membership lets an order take coins worth up to 5% of its value, capped at INR 1,000, and this works on coins you already hold. If you hold a large balance and plan to buy one expensive item, a 3-month BLACK pack lets you use far more of the balance on it. Weigh the pack fee on the BLACK page against the coins you would otherwise struggle to spend, and buy the pack in the same week as that purchase, since the fee is non-refundable. While the pack is active, one domestic flight booked on Cleartrip for up to 2 passengers can be cancelled or rescheduled at no extra charge, if you add the ClearChoice Max cover offered to BLACK members when you book it.

Extra coins tied to a product or seller offer can expire in 1 to 3 months, while coins earned on orders last 6 months from the day they are credited. Using coins can also add a platform fee if they bring a small order below a set amount, so check the price details before you pay for a small cart.

Flipkart Plus gives you early access to select products for a few hours during sales such as The Big Billion Days and the Freedom Sale, while limited-stock deals are still available. Plus is earned through orders: you qualify for Plus Silver with 15 successful orders in the past 365 days (Plus Gold needs 25), so count your delivered orders from the last year in your order history.

If you are a few orders short, place orders for things you would buy anyway, and keep them, since only successful orders count. Check the delivery charge on each one, because small orders can carry an extra fee. The count covers only the past 365 days, so orders older than a year stop counting toward it.
