IndiGo and IDFC FIRST Bank Launch Co-Branded Credit Card

Delhi,August 18th, 2025:

IndiGo and IDFC FIRST Bank have announced the launch of the IndiGo IDFC FIRST Credit Card, a one-of-a-kind offering that combines the benefits of both Mastercard and RuPay networks through a single application, ensuring wider acceptance and maximum payment flexibility.

The card enhances travel experiences with lifestyle privileges, low forex markup, attractive trip cancellation cover, and accelerated rewards on IndiGo flight bookings, milestone spends, and everyday purchases. With this launch, IndiGo further strengthens the IndiGo BluChip loyalty program portfolio, offering customers more ways to earn IndiGo BluChips through everyday spends — making every transaction count towards their next flight.

The IndiGo IDFC FIRST Credit card allows customers to earn free flights faster with earnings across daily spends. With annual spends of ₹12 lakh (Assuming 15% on Flight Bookings on IndiGo Web & App), customers can earn up to 60,000 IndiGo BluChips plus bonus vouchers of 25,000 IndiGo BluChips, every year—enough for multiple free flights to popular destinations. In the first year, they also enjoy additional Bonus vouchers of up to 8,000 IndiGo BluChips depending on their card type.

Speaking about the launch, Shirish Bhandari, Head – Credit Cards, Tolls & Transit and Loyalty, said, “With the IndiGo IDFC FIRST Credit Card, we’re making premium travel accessible to all — not just a few. This is more than just a credit card; it’s a bold step toward democratizing travel and financial empowerment by allowing every Indian — regardless of credit history — to own the same world-class product, through a flexible application journey that includes both traditional and Fixed Deposit-backed access.

Combined with a dual-network card pair, Mastercard and RuPay, the card ensures widest acceptance across India and globally, with the added convenience of UPI for everyday spends and a low forex markup of just 1.49% for international use. It’s a truly inclusive, digital-first, and rewarding travel card for today’s generation of flyers.”

Neetan Chopra, Chief Information & Digital Officer, IndiGo said: “It is our endeavor to continuously enhance the value proposition of IndiGo BluChip for our loyal customers, making this relationship a rewarding experience for them. We are delighted to join hands with IDFC FIRST Bank to offer co-branded credit cards to our customers that enable them to convert their everyday expenses into BluChips and enjoy travel benefits on our ever-growing network.”
