Can you achieve Club Vistara Status with the Purple Ticket offer?
From 1st Jan 2023, Vistara Airlines changed its eligibility criteria for Club Vistara tiers. These charges made it difficult to achieve a particular status. However, this new offer of a Purple ticket can help you achieve the club Vistara status tier and get you a good return of over 11%.
Below are the recent Tier wise qualification criteria for Club Vistara:
| Tier | Tier Points | AND | Flights |
| CV Silver | 15,000 | AND | 4 |
| CV Gold | 25,000 | AND | 6 |
| CV Platinum | 35,000 | AND | 8 |
If you get even a single Purple Ticket, you will already achieve a minimum number of flights required for Gold. But will you achieve the tier points? Let’s find out.
The Base Fare in an economy cabin class for Delhi-Mumbai flights is approximately Rs. 4000. Club Vistara Points are calculated on the base fare instead of the total fare. So, for every flight, you will receive 320 CV Points as a base member; for 24 flights, the CV Points will be 7680. It means you will not be able to achieve the required tier points. Even the CV Platinum holder will not be able to achieve this.
But the silver lining here is that CV Points are worth approximately Rs. 1. So, these 7680 CV Points are good enough to get you one more Delhi-Mumbai flight. That means if you take 24 flights in the Purple Ticket 2023 offer, you can easily get four more tickets, three with the help of purple tickets and one with CV Points.
What is a Purple Ticket?
The Purple Ticket is a gift voucher from Vistara Airlines that you can use to book a flight ticket or pay other charges such as seat selection, excess baggage, etc.
