Diwali is just round the corner. Diwali time is vacation time for many people. So while you are planning your travel tickets and accommodation, let us give you some quick tips on how you can save on your travel costs.
Buy travel vouchers from GyFTR and save up to 10%
From GyFTR, you can buy travel related vouchers for flight ticket booking, hotel booking and cab booking (for intra city travel). There are offers going on from various brands from time to time. For example, you can buy a Rs. 1000 MakeMyTrip brand voucher from GyFTR and get a discount of 3%. Similarly for other brands like Yatra and Goomo, you can get up to 10% discount.
Paytm CASHBACK offer
To sweeten the above deal for you, there is a Diwali bonus for you in the form of a Paytm cashback offer. If you make 3 purchases of minimum Rs. 500 each and pay through Paytm wallet, you will get a cashback of Rs. 75. The offer is valid from 12th October to 10th November 2019.
How to benefit by loading money in Paytm wallet
To avail the above Paytm cashback offer, you need to pay through Paytm wallet for which you need to first load money in your Paytm wallet. You can get benefit by loading money in you Paytm wallet through specific credit cards.
For example, the American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card (MRCC) offers 1000 bonus Membership Reward (MR) points (worth Rs. 250) on doing 4 transactions of Rs. 1000 each in a month. The monthly 1000 bonus MR points are over and above the regular MR points that get for the MRCC credit card usage. The regular reward point structure is 1 Membership Reward point for every Rs. 50 that you spend on the MRCC credit card. So just loading your Paytm wallet with Amex MRCC will give you benefit of 6.75% value back in the form of reward points.
Paytm First members get Rs. 30 cashback on adding minimum Rs. 500 to Paytm wallet. This offer is valid for 1 transaction every month. So, if you are a Paytm First member and if this is your first Paytm wallet loading transaction for the month, then you can avail this offer also along with the credit card offer.

You have loaded your Paytm wallet and have also availed all the bonus offers with it. Now, you can head to the Gyftr website to purchase your MakeMyTrip voucher and enjoy 3% discount on voucher MRP.
