When Does Indomaret Free Homecoming 2026 Open?
Registration for Indomaret's Free Homecoming 2026 has been officially open since January 5, 2026, and will run until February 28, 2026. So there is still time to meet the requirements and collect shopping receipts to get free tickets!
Unlike previous years, this year's program provides a longer registration period—nearly 2 full months. However, given the limited quota and high public enthusiasm, it is recommended to register as soon as requirements are met to avoid running out of slots.
Quota and Departure Areas
The total quota provided by Indomaret reaches 8,000 seats, divided by departure region:
Jabodetabek: 6,900 Seats Travelers from Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi receive the largest allocation with 6,900 seats. The transport modes provided are buses and trains with various route options to Central and East Java.
Bandar Lampung: 1,100 Seats Specifically for travelers from Lampung, 1,100 seats are available using buses departing from PKOR Way Halim, Bandar Lampung, heading to Solo and Yogyakarta.
This quota distribution is adjusted according to the data on the number of migrants in each region. Jabodetabek, as the economic center with the largest migrant population, naturally receives more allocation.

Requirements for Indomaret Free Homecoming 2026
To participate in this program, several requirements must be met:
Become an Active PoinKu Member
You must be registered as a PoinKu member (Indomaret's loyalty program) before shopping for the homecoming requirements. If you don't have one, register for free via the PoinKu app on Google Play Store or App Store, or directly at the nearest Indomaret cashier.
Minimum Purchase at Indomaret
This is the main requirement that distinguishes this program from government free homecoming schemes. You must shop at Indomaret during the period of January 5 - February 28, 2026, with the following conditions:
For Bus Tickets
- Minimum purchase of Rp 250,000
- in a single receipt.
For Train Tickets
- Minimum purchase of Rp 500,000
- in a single receipt.
Note: The minimum purchase must be in ONE receipt, not an accumulation of several receipts. If you spend Rp 100,000 today and Rp 150,000 tomorrow, they cannot be combined. You must spend Rp 250,000 at once in a single transaction.
Maximum 4 Tickets per Member
One PoinKu member account can register a maximum of 4 people for the homecoming journey. This is suitable for small families or groups of friends. Naturally, you must shop according to the number of tickets desired:
-
1 bus ticket = Rp 250,000 purchase
-
4 bus tickets = Rp 1,000,000 purchase (4 receipts x Rp 250,000)
-
1 train ticket = Rp 500,000 purchase
-
4 train tickets = Rp 2,000,000 purchase (4 receipts x Rp 500,000)
Not Registered in Other Free Homecoming Programs
Participants registering for the Indomaret program must not be registered in other free homecoming programs such as those from SOEs (BUMN), Provincial Governments, or competing retailers. The committee will cross-verify data to prevent duplication.
