I noticed that many of my Flipkart Super Coins expired without any prior notification or warning. Has anyone else experienced this? What can be done to fix or recover expired Super Coins, and is there a way to get reminders before expiry?
So you logged into your account and found out a bunch of your Super Coins just disappeared because they expired, and Flipkart never even told you. This is probably one of their most frustrating moves and loads of people get screwed over by it.
Getting Your Expired Coins Back
-
Bug Support Immediately Call or chat with them the moment you notice expired coins. Don’t wait around. Some people have actually gotten their coins back if they complain within a few days of losing them. Tell them exactly when you earned the coins and from which orders.
-
Say You Never Got Warnings Tell them you never received any expiry alerts. This gives them a reason to help since their notification system basically failed you. Don’t just say “my coins expired” make it clear you had no clue they were about to disappear.
-
Complain on Twitter Sometimes complaining publicly on Twitter works better than private chats. They hate looking bad in public, especially when people are losing rewards they actually earned.
-
Give Them Order Details If you remember which purchases earned those expired coins, mention the order numbers. This shows you’re not just making stuff up and have real proof.
Tracking Expiry Dates Yourself
-
Check Your Coin History It usually shows when you got coins, and you can figure out they’ll expire 12 months later.
-
Set Phone Reminders Since Flipkart’s alerts are garbage, set your own phone reminders for 11 months after earning coins from big purchases. It’s annoying but better than losing them.
-
Use Coins Often Don’t save coins for some perfect future purchase. Use them on random small stuff regularly so you don’t lose big amounts when they expire.
The Truth About Expired Coins Flipkart actually benefits when your coins expire because they keep the value without giving you anything. The crappy notification system isn’t really a bug it’s convenient for them when people forget about their earned rewards.
Just Remember
- Your chances of getting coins back depend on how recently they expired
- Different support people have different power to restore coins
- Check your balance every month so this doesn’t happen again
- Use coins on small purchases instead of hoarding them
- Take screenshots of your coin balance to help argue with support later
The whole thing is set up to make you forget about coins until it’s too late. Once you realize this, you can beat their system by actually using the coins before they vanish.
