Review

Out of 22 you earn only 6 extra bluchips when paying with this card. Other 16 bluchips are part of indifo bluchip programa nd can be earned even if you pay via other methods. It is hard to extract value from bluchips. Even if you fly Indigo regularly there are so many other credit cards that will serve you better.
