They're scamming now. Only price inflated phones have something like get 1000 off with 100 SC. Else they give ₹1=1SC. Capping is also reduced. Better than nothing though given they add all that dubious handling charges, protect and what not. Only benifit is early access and some hidden card offers which are available for only BLACK members. But as many offers are available everyone can manage 1 CC which gives discount regardless.

I have gone ahead and purchased the membership. I use flipkart regularly so hoping i would be able to recover the fees and YT premium is a bonus. Let's see how it goes.

Membership is worth for those who buy frequently.

Only thing is fk flags high value txns . Your 2 iphones might not be a problem but make sure you use the same address for high value txns, different locations will be thought as many pooled into your black membership
