Gone are the days of simply stashing cash under the mattress. Today, people are constantly seeking out innovative ways to make their hard-earned money work even harder for them.
We are talking about Loyalty Programs. These programs reward you for your everyday spending, offering benefits like cashback, reward points, or exclusive discounts. However, with the clutter of information and services on the internet, it is important to choose a loyalty program wisely.
Enter INDIE YOUniverse, a one-of-a-kind loyalty program offered by INDIE. It goes beyond the traditional rewards structure and makes saving an engaging experience. Similar to accumulating points, you earn "INDIE Gems" for your everyday transactions, opening up a world of exciting rewards and exclusive benefits. You can redeem your INDIE Gems for cash. 1 INDIE gem = ₹1. Transparent and simple!
INDIE YOUniverse is a 3-tier Loyalty Program with following account types - Star, Superstar, and Megastar - that make your finances fun, rewarding you for everyday activities.
