Flipkart has three memberships, and only one of them is free. Flipkart Plus is earned by shopping, so you don't buy it. Flipkart VIP and Flipkart Black are paid memberships. To see where you stand, open the Flipkart app and look for the Plus Zone or a membership section in your account. If a Join option shows up, you've qualified. Guides disagree on exactly how many orders or SuperCoins it takes, so trust the progress your own app shows.

Flipkart Plus: how to get it and how to check
You can't pay for Plus. It's a loyalty tier you unlock by shopping, which is why searching for "how to buy Flipkart Plus" turns up so many different answers. Several guides say you need to earn about 200 SuperCoins within 12 months, then tap a Join button in the Plus Zone. Newer articles describe the rule as a number of orders in a year. Those two rules aren't the same, and Flipkart's own page wasn't available for us to settle it. The practical advice is to shop normally and look in your account for the Plus Zone.
To check your status:
- Open the Flipkart app and go to your account or profile.
- Look for Plus Zone or a membership or SuperCoin section.
- If you see a Join or Activate option, you qualify. If you see a progress bar or a target, that shows what's left.
Labels change between app versions. If you can't find it, search for "Plus" inside the app.
Flipkart VIP: what Flipkart itself says
Flipkart's own page about the VIP programme was published in April 2024. It listed a fee of 499 rupees for one year, 48-hour free delivery for select pin codes in 12 cities, 5% SuperCoins on every order (up to 100 coins), bonus coins on large orders, and early access to sales. Some third-party articles quote a higher VIP price, so look at the price on the VIP page before you subscribe. The terms have likely changed since 2024.
Flipkart Black: what's reported
Flipkart Black is the premium paid tier. Articles from Digit, TechMitra and others put its list price at about 1,499 rupees a year, with a year of YouTube Premium, SuperCoins on orders and early sale access. It's reported that Black members also get a Cleartrip flight change or cancellation for one rupee. Treat all of this as reported until you see it in the app.
Which one should you pick?
- You shop on Flipkart a few times a year. You don't need to pay for anything. Keep shopping, and check whether Plus appears.
- You order often and live where VIP's free delivery applies. VIP may pay for itself. Read the pin code list first.
- You'd use YouTube Premium anyway. Black can make sense, because that perk alone is worth a fair part of the price.
- You only buy during big sales. Early access from Plus or Black helps. Check the early access hour for the next sale on the Flipkart upcoming sale calendar.
Memberships, SuperCoins and cashback
A membership isn't the same as cashback. It gives you coins, delivery perks and early access, while cashback is money paid back after an order is confirmed. If you want to understand the coins side, read how to use Flipkart SuperCoins. For delivery perks, see how to get faster delivery on Flipkart. You can still earn Hyyzo cashback on top: start from Flipkart cashback on Hyyzo before you place the order.
