Air travel, though it has now become like bus or train travel in being open to all, is still relatively expensive most of the time. Thus, I was quite thrilled to receive an email “Presenting SpiceClub, the Red Hot Rewards card.”


What is SpiceClub? It is supposed to be a “prepaid card that lets you make cashless transactions within the SpiceJet ecosystem” to buy meals, merchandise, and add-on services. And, thanks to writing this review, I am reading the blah blah more carefully and find that “With every recharge, you get additional usable credits which convert to usable currency on the card.”


Recharge?! Well, I suppose that means that at some point I have to “renew” the membership by paying a fee. I’ve still not seen clear mention of that. Annual?


Access to special offers/ discounts throughout the year Apparently, by paying “just Rs. 599” you’ll “enjoy a host of exclusive benefits worth up to Rs.5, 999.”


List of Introductory Benefits:




  1. 2 free vouchers worth Rs.599(w.e.f. 5th April 2016) each to be used for domestic flight bookings(at Rs.1198)




  2. Add-ons* Special- 2 vouchers worth Rs.100 each to be used for domestic flight bookings






Soon after registration, I got an email with vouchers: two vouchers of INR 399/- each valid till 16th Aug 2016 and I plan to use those. The email also has two SpiceAdd-ons vouchers worth INR 100/- each, also valid till 16th Aug 2016, applicable only on SpiceMax, MyFlexiPlan, FlyForSure, Excess Baggage, BagOutFirst, Other and Preferred Seat Selection.


I’m not so sure about SpiceMax, MyFlexiPlan, FlyForSure and  BagOutFirst but I could probably use it for Excess Baggage. So far, I have not had seat preferences as people do adjust when my husband and I travel together so that we can sit together.




  1. Free Air Ticket on Member's Birthday - I’m really looking forwards to that but then I shall either have to travel alone or find a really cheap flight so that I can travel with my husband. It’s a one-way air ticket, to be used only on the date of the customer’s birthday. It’s important to carry proof of the date on such travels.




4.Marriage Anniversary Special - 50% off on Domestic Air Tickets for 2 passengers - maximum discount to be INR 2, 000/- only on Base Fare. I’ve availed of this one!




  1. 2 Free Priority Check-ins. I have no idea what that means either!




  2. Preferred communication for any SpiceJet Promo Sale - Big deal! LOL






Soon after, the annual membership was raised to INR 599/-(w.e.f. 22nd March 2016) per person, inclusive of all applicable taxes.


Other Points to Ponder


The subscription to the membership is only available to person of the age of eighteen(18) years and above.


The membership can be subscribed to, and its benefits shall only be available via the website only – https://spicejet.com.


The membership shall automatically expire upon the expiry of 01 year from the date of subscribing to the membership.


Very soon, I shall have my first experience of this and then we shall see how wonderful or useless this is. In any case I shall blog about it for sure.


In the meantime, it’s just no use asking for clarifications from Spicejet customer care or on their Facebook page - they just parrot the same thing word for word.


The identity card and date issue could pose a problem for some as, for example, not all marriages were registered in our days.
