    Default Make My Trip : A Fraud Operation

    Dear All,
    I have booked my flights for Hong Kong and back with Make My Trip as on 19th of Sept, 2009. The Flights were confirmed. Seats on the airline (4 Flights) allocated. SMS confirmations sent and Booking ID FLTINT10004246206 issued. My credit card was also debited of the requisite amount. These flights were booked on Cathy Pacific.
    Later on 20th Sept, 2009 (Sunday) I got a call from Ms Monica that all bookings have been cancelled and would I like to make fresh booking. She also informed me that Mr. Haider had called me up on the 19th regarding the cancellation. This was untrue and I told her so. I also told her that it was the obligation of Make my Trip to issue new tickets at no additional cost as all confirmations had been made. This was their legal and contractual obligation. Not to mention their moral duty. There was no call from them despite an assurance from the said Ms Monica. Since this was an important business visit to a fair in China I went on to book my tickets
    I did call up the customer care on Monday (21st September) and talked to Mr. Ravi who assured help but never called up. Since this was an important business visit to a fair in China I went on to book my tickets directly with Cathy Pacific. Amazingly on the same flight as previously I had booked with Make my Trip. Only I paid extra due to the intermediate gap.
    I have also mailed to admin at makemytrip.com internationalbookings at makemytrip.com on the 21st and 22nd Sept, 2009 without receiving any reply.
    I have now decided to let the management of Make my Trip know that they cannot take the customer for a ride any more. When I see the number of complaints on your portal I am amazed how this company is being allowed to do business. I would like all those who have suffered at the hands of Make my Trip to unite and file lawsuit against this appalling, unmoral and corrupt company.

    Finally, on the 27th Sept, 2009 I got a mail from make my trip as under:
    Dear Customer,
    Greetings from MakeMyTrip.
    With reference to your following booking, refund is being processed.
    Booking No. :
    FLTINT10004246206

    My Mail to Make my Trip
    Dear Sir/Ma'am,
    I wld like to know the status of my booking made on the 19th Sept, 2009. Booking ID FLTINT10004246206. Pls be assured that I have a confirmed booking through your site with Cathy Pacific. Confirmations being made on your portal, SMS & Email sent to me. I also have a seat arrangement for my journey.
    Yesterday I received a call from Ms Monica that this booking cannot be availed and if wanted Make My Trip could book me on anothe carrier. I asked her to forward the information on my email. This was promised but not done.
    I have today called up your customer support and spoke to Mr. Ravi in the morning. Again I was assured that someone will call me up in 15-20 minutes and I am yet to receive any call.
    It is your responsibility to ensure that my travel is absolutely clean and without hassles. Please also bear in mind the contractual and legal implications of this deal.
    You are requested to revert back with a viable solution to this request.
    Thank you,
    Adip Bhandari

    Dear Mr. Abhishek,

    In response to your post above, please note that a refund for MakeMyTrip Booking ID FLT00006036372 was processed on November 17, 2009. The amount has been credited to the same bank account from where the payment was made online.

    We recommend that you call your bank and follow up with them on this as our records indicate receipt of payment by State Bank of India.

    Regards,

    Devika Khosla

    Default Cancellation of a confirmed hotel booking by Make My Trip

    Hi,
    I booked a hotel in Goa named Kerala Ayurveda Wellness Center in Goa with Make My Trip with
    booking id- IN1010B03043. I got the booking confirmed a week before my travel to Goa with all my itinerary
    ready. Make My Trip also sent me a valid voucher to be used at the time of checking in the hotel.
    The mail was sent by Mr. Abarar Khan from Make My Trip.However, when I called up the hotel just two
    days before my trip to Goa to confirm about my pick up to the hotel they told Make My Trip has never sent
    a mail to them about my booking. Just 1 hour back, when I called up Make My Trip for the contact details
    from the hotel they were not able to provide any contact apart from the one provided by the hotel on website.
    After calling the same number several times the one guy picked up from the hotel and redirected the case to
    Marketing dept. The marketing guy told there is no room available in the hotel however, till then I had a valid
    voucher and a confirmed booking with Make My Trip for the same hotel.Then I called up Make My Trip
    customer care.The customer care guy called up the hotel and after half an hour or so came up with the
    news that there is no room in the hotel.Think of the scenario, these guys take booking against already booked
    rooms in hotel and confirm you r booking and do not even bother to know that when u reach in the hotel
    u will get a room or not. Then the customer care guy called up saying Sir, there is no room in the other
    hotels also with equivalent standard and facilities that I was looking for.This was a shock for me as my trip
    as well as my leave plan with the mental agony was totally unberable.Make My Trip customer care even dont
    bother to say sorry for their fault.After that I had to book room at a much higher price with less facilities.
    My demand is Make My Trip should apologise as well as they should compensate for the amount I paid
    for booking the the other of less standard though they have processed the amount I paid from credit card for
    the booking with them. I wonder why there is not any stringent law for such kind of farud operators to be
    penalised for giving such torture to the customers and get banned also.

    Default A gigantic fraud operation

    Makemytrip.com seems to be a gigantic fraud operation that has a business model that has nothing to do with selling flight tickets.

    They have found another ingenious way of cheating customers.
    You try to book a ticket and it says we couldn't confirm your ticket and the refund will be reflected on your credit card.
    However the amount that you pay and the amount that they refund is different and if you use a credit card that has a billing address outside india you also get charged a transaction fee of 25 to 30.
    By just doing a cancellation and making sure that there is atleast 1 to 2% difference in what we pay and what they refund they make quite a bit of money.

    Their phone number is non-operational. Opening a service request ticket goes without response. And sometimes you feel that there is some kind of organized crime racket behind makemytrip.com

    If you are in the U.S please get in touch with your congressman to prevent innocent people from being defrauded.

    Default makemytrip is fraud

    I booked my tickets using makemytrip. The Airline ( Kingfisher) cancelled the flight, so they refunded the amount to makemytrip.com. But, MakeMytrip hasn't refunded my money yet. I have called over 5 times. They hang up on me as soon as I ask for the refund. The customer care told me that he would call but he didn't. It is a fraud company. How do I file a lawsuit against this company to get my money back ?

    Default Makemytrip cheating public on cancellation refund amount of tickets

    Hi

    I had booked 2 tickets ( Hyd - Mumbai ) in JetLite via MakeMyTrip ( Booking ID NF251362841679 ), which I wanted cancelled. When I contacted the customer service for cancellation, they said that they will charge Rs.1000 ( Rs.750 + Rs.250 ) per person, where Rs.750 is the cancellation fee to be paid to JetLite and Rs.250 for MakeMyTrip. I received the ticket from MakeMyTrip and that also specified the same information about the refund charge.

    I checked with JetLite regarding the cancellation fees and came to know that JetLite charges only Rs.201 per person.. MakeMyTrip is clearly looting Rs.549 per person ( in my case Rs.1098 for the 2 seats ).. And when I called the customer care regarding this issue and to ask for waiver of the Rs.250, they were quite reluctant initially to accept that the charge is just Rs. 201, until I told them to talk to JetLite itself. After that, they apologized and said they will charge only Rs.201 + Rs.250 per person.

    My wife and I have been a long standing customer of this website and we are hurt to see such malpractice happening here. Is there anyway we can create awareness about this?

    Thanks

    Default MakeMyTrip illegally $7000 excess to my US credit card

    I booked a ticket for my mom, and they charged my in excess of $7000 in 2 additional transactions.

    I came to know only when I got my statement, and immediately called their customer care 1-800-INDIA-10. The agent asked for my statemement, and while he was online, I emailed the statement to him. He looked at it and put me on hold and said he escalated it to Accounts and I should see a refund in 10 days. I'll wait and watch to see if they refund the whole amount. Even if they do, this is outrageous behavior and smacks of some financial irregularities. May be they do tend to overcharge and make money on the transactions or interest.

    I have also disputed with my US card company, and they have sent me some dispute paperwork. If they do not refund me, I'm sure my CC company will follow through on dispute.

    We should definitely tip some authorities about this. Will post a reply if I find a government tipline in US or India, so that everyone can submit their grievances and hopefully we can bring it to the notice of the authorities.
