Dear Sir / Madam,
Some time in last year a company called Shiftthoughts sold me some vouchers that would get me discount on my next trip if I booked Air tickets or hotel through makemytrip.com. I paid Rs.7500 to procure the vouchers without realising the pains that I would have to take to redeem the vouchers.
I got the vouchers pack after 3 months of follow up.
On receipt of vouchers I tried to book my air ticket to Hyderabad by trying to call the number mentioned on the reverse of the voucher. To my shock and surprise there was no option on the IVR (interactive voice response) to book air tickets. It kept mentioning to use the website where as on the website there was no option to Redeem the given vouchers.
I went across to their office in MIDC wherein the story was different.
Customer service executive Jincy Sibin told me there was no option to redeem the air ticket discount voucher of Rs.500 on the phone number mentioned on the reverse. She mentioned that the booking had to be done at their office and if I booked the ticket from their office then they will charge a service charge of Rs 150 per ticket. So if I book a return ticket I will have to shell out Rs.300/- toward service charge + the airline fare.
Now in clear terms this is misrepresentation by the company. i am sure there is nexus between shiftthoughts and make my trip to cheat customers in buying their products/services.
I am ready to appear from any Honorable consumer court and give witness against makemytrips fraudulent methods.
I also got a call from another gentleman in Indore who has been duped in the similar manner. I also see multiple sites where such frauds by Makemytrip have been mentioned.
My contact details are as follows:
Abel A. Correa
Email ID: abel_correa@rediffmail.com

Look forward to hearing from you in the interest of poor consumer of this country.
