Hotel Bookings on Travel Edge vs Gift Edge MMT Vouchers

[jiffyspace]

If I understood correctly, it is more rewarding to buy an MMT Voucher from Gift Edge and book rooms directly on MMT — with 10x rp.

Booking hotels from Travel Edge has 5x rp.

In any case, the spends on Gift Edge count towards milestone. Gift Edge also doesn’t have upper cap (except Amazon and Flipkart).

So, i guess it’s wise to buy vouchers from MMT and do the booking on MMT, instead of using Travel Edge.

What do you guys think? Or am I missing something? 😕

yes u can, the voucher RP gets credited in 90 days, the travel edge points gets credited in 12 days.
so if wanna accumulate RP ASAP go with travel edge, if u can wait go with voucher.

Keep in mind you can only add 3 GVs in one MMT transaction.

Yes it’s better to buy MMT vouchers for hotels than buying from travel edge
Apart from 10x you also get some 2 to 4% discount on gyftr

Different denomination vouchers worked in MMT?

 

[anirban.choudhury]

Different denomination vouchers worked in MMT?

Yes

 

[Vbhoj74]

what happens when we cancel the booking ? does the balance with the voucher is restored ?

Also, can I use the same voucher (with leftover balance) in multiple transactions ?

I guess he's asking about MMT vouchers and not Yatra

Yes to both questions as far as MMT vouchers are considered. You will get a refund if the original booking was cancellable. The only restriction is that you can only apply 3 vouchers in one transaction but you can use a voucher for multiple transaction.
