E-commerce major Flipkart has partnered with ride-hailing platform Uber to offer loyalty rewards on rides, marking a step towards integrating everyday services with digital reward ecosystems.
Under this collaboration, users can earn SuperCoins on eligible Uber rides by linking their Flipkart and Uber accounts.
How the Reward System Works
Users will earn:
- 4% of ride fare as SuperCoins
- Maximum: 150 SuperCoins per ride

The earned SuperCoins will be credited to users’ Flipkart accounts.
Where Can SuperCoins Be Used?
The rewards can be redeemed across Flipkart’s ecosystem, including:
- Flipkart shopping platform

This expands the utility of loyalty points beyond traditional e-commerce purchases.

To boost adoption, the companies are offering:
- Bonus SuperCoins
- Targeted offers for new or inactive Uber users
