New to air india maharaja club and wanted to know what are the types of points that can be earned on it.
As a member of the Maharaja Club, you earn two types of points: Tier Points and Maharaja Points.
Tier Points are points you earn for flying with Air India and our 24 Star Alliance Airline Partners. Tier Points, or the number of flights you take, determine your Tier Status.
Maharaja Points are points you earn for flying with Air India our 24 Star Alliance Airline Partners and for purchases you make with our Partner brands.
Maharaja Points can then be spent to book Award Flights on Air India and Star Alliance Airline Partners flights or to upgrade your Cabin Class on Air India flights.
You earn both types of points with every booking. For example, if you’re in the Silver Tier:
For every INR 100 you spend on an Air India flight, you earn 8 Maharaja Points and 6 Tier Points. If you book directly on the Air India website or Air India app, you’ll earn 2 additional Maharaja Points for every INR 100 spent.
For purchases on a Partner brand, you earn Maharaja Points based on the partnership agreement. You do not receive Tier Points for these purchases.
