There is no requirement for credit card entry or any billing method the subscription is applied directly through the registered mobile number.

This initiative reflects a growing trend in the Indian telecom space, where operators are exploring value-added services that go beyond data and entertainment. While telecom brands have historically focused on bundling OTT platforms and streaming subscriptions, Bharti Airtel’s integration of a generative AI suite marks a shift toward productivity and utility-based digital services.

The offer is currently being rolled out in phases and may not be available to all users immediately. Users are advised to check their Airtel Thanks app periodically to see if the reward is visible in the Rewards section.
