Air travel is becoming a part of the modern lifestyle and many people cannot afford to spend hours on their journey. This is the reason that the demand for domestic as well as international flights is increasing with every passing day. A recent report presented by the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) showed a growth of double digits in the Indian air travel, surpassing the expected growth rate of 6-8 per cent. In order to increase their market share and attract new customers, carriers rolled out a number of domestic flight offers. This makes aviation services even more affordable, and a larger number of people can benefit from it. Now, the cost of Mumbai Delhi flights is almost half of what it used to be a few decades back. In addition to offers and discounts announced by carriers, travellers can check deals on travel portals as well. The value for money is often increased by either a direct cash discount, gift voucher or cashback offers. People can go through details of two such offers available on Yatra.com before making their reservation.
10X Reward Points
As the name suggests, reward points are offered to users for making purchase through credit or debit cards. These points can be cashed while making the next purchase or special gift can be collected against it, depending on terms and conditions of the bank. Similarly, under this offer, people owning a HDFC Bank Club credit card can avail tenfold points by booking their flight or hotel through Yatra.com. Travellers can earn 50 reward points for every INR 150 spent through HDFC Bank Diners Club Black Credit card. This means, if INR 3000 are spent via above mentioned card, they will earn around 1000 points. However, for Platinum and Rewardz categories, it is 40 and 30 points per INR 150, respectively.
There are a few terms and conditions that travellers have to comply with, in order to earn these rewards. It is a limited period offer, and its validity ends on March 31, 2015. Hence, travellers are suggested to make their flight reservations prior to this date. For the convenience of travellers, these reward points are offered on both EMI and non-EMI transactions. However, this offer cannot be clubbed with other domestic flight offers available on the website. Both the HDFC bank and travel portal reserve all rights to modify, change or pull back the offer at any point of time. Hence, it is advised that travellers make their bookings as soon as possible. Those, who do not own any of the above mentioned cards, can go through the following offer.
10 Per Cent Cashback on Standard Chartered Yatra Platinum Card
Under this scheme, travellers can get assured 10 per cent cashback by making payment through their Standard Chartered Yatra Platinum card. In addition to this, they can also earn some extra rewards on all travel bookings, except for train and bus. The amount of cashback cannot exceed INR 250 and 750 in case of domestic and international flights, respectively. It is worth noticing that in case of flight tickets, the cashback is offered on the base fare only. In case of holiday or hotel reservation, it can be INR 1000. It is worth mentioning that these rewards can be availed on 12 transactions only in a period of four months.
