Is it possible to use Make My Trip gift card for train ticket?

[Deleted member 5552]

I found some instant discount on MMT Gift Cards. Anyone tried to book train tickets using MMT gift cards?

# Amazon says you can't use it
# MMT, Gyftr & Hdfc Smartbuy say you can use it to book train tickets

Do you have any idea? I have to book ticket of ₹ 5600

MMT Gift cards aren't usable for Train tickets. Only flight, hotel and holiday bookings are allowed.
Train tickets are very restricted category in our country where we can't avail discounts through any loopholes.

Central govt don’t want to loose its revenue and also all cards have extra fee for train booking

Yeah we can't even use cards for Cashback. Their SBI Card isn't lucrative as well. And now Smartbuy is also creating trouble while booking rail tickets.

Simply use Amazon Pay while booking train tickets

They've started charging convenience fee which again make it worthless

They're charging 40 rupis per booking request so still can't see where it's becoming worthless

For sbi cashback card just check the merchant name before paying
Direct booking on IRCTC:

IRCTC BANGALORE IN - Got 1% Cashback

Here it is written that it is valid for train tickets also.. Any way I will try with a small gift card. If it will not accept, I hope I can use it for Bus tickets.

I checked in Wohoo and Amazon, it is saying not eligible for rail booking.

To clear this things bought 2k mmt vouchers from axis GyFTR this morning by magnus and got 1% discount with 10x ER option
Used in mmt app but its not working with any discount codes if u used in booking
I mean one way we see 10x in GyFTR but we lose those discounts near to 10%
Again on top of all I got a call from property (it’s coorg for May month) where that executive offered 10% discount on whatever mmt showed and I paid
I said let this thing go since I already paid by GyFTR voucher and some shortfall by card and I save his no for future direct bookings
Learning:
If vouchers used to checkout max 3 in one booking and no other discount codes work if we choose more than 1 mmt vouchers

I am very happy to inform you that I have received instant cashback of Rs 424 (7.5%) for train ticket booking through Make My Trip app. I paid via Amazon Pay (Purchased gift card using Amazon Pay ICICI Credit Card and added to Amazon wallet)

I know about this offer after cashback received

I am searching and it's not available on travel offer. Only Bus offer is available. If I get an opportunity, I will try to redeem GoIbibo offer also...
