Frequently asked questions

Are travel gift cards (MakeMyTrip, Yatra) genuinely useful?

For business travel and frequent personal travel, yes — discounts of 5–10% on flight and hotel bookings via gift cards are meaningful at typical Indian travel ticket sizes. The challenge is matching gift card validity to your planned travel.

Can I use a MakeMyTrip gift card on hotel bookings during a flash sale?

Yes — gift card balance applies to all MakeMyTrip inventory, including flash-sale hotel deals. The effective saving is the gift card discount on top of the flash-sale rate.

What happens if I cancel a booking made with a gift card?

Refunds are typically issued back to the original payment method, which would mean back to your MakeMyTrip wallet as gift card balance. The cash-equivalent value of the discount is preserved.
