To buy Flipkart Plus membership, one does not directly purchase it with money but becomes eligible by earning at least 200 Flipkart Super Coins in the past 12 months through shopping on Flipkart. Once the required Super Coins are accumulated, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Flipkart account.
- Go to the Profile section.
- Look for the 'Join Flipkart Plus' option.
- If you have enough Super Coins (200 or more), you will see the 'Join Now' button.
- Click 'Join Now', complete the sign-up form and activate your Flipkart Plus membership immediately.
The membership is valid for one year and is automatically renewed if you keep earning enough Super Coins. Super Coins are earned by buying from Flipkart, 4 coins for every Rs 100 spent as a Plus member, and you can earn up to 100 Super Coins per order.
There is also an upgraded version of Flipkart Plus with simplified eligibility based on the number of successful transactions (4 for Plus and 8 for Plus Premium in the last 12 months) rather than Super Coins, and automatic upgrade happens once eligibility is met.
If direct paid membership options like Flipkart VIP (a separate subscription with a fee) are of interest, that requires a payment of around Rs 499 and gives additional perks beyond Flipkart Plus.
In summary, Flipkart Plus membership is mainly earned through loyalty from shopping, not by direct purchase. One must accumulate sufficient Super Coins or complete minimum transactions to qualify, then enroll through the Flipkart app or website profile section.
