[Resolved]  MakeMyTrip — Cheating through The Great Indian Festival offer

This complaint is regarding duping me through telephonic calls after I become a regular buyer of online air tickets through makemytrip.com. A caller identified that he is calling me on behalf of makemytrip.com offered a package The Great Indian Festival offer. The offer value is for Rs. 7,719.90 This offer was accepted my me for the reason that goodwill of makemytrip.com was involved. The amount was transferred by credit card to an account STC-MAKEMYTRIP. The offer letter with Vouchers were sent in the letter head of make mytrip.com and is attached for your reference. During the call, it was not mentioned that the vouchers offered were not redeemable through online booking normally carried out by me through makemytrip.com . Once I received the package with vouchers, it provided this vital information that it is to be booked by telephone as per the nos. given in the offer letter (See attached letter). Now these nos. do belongs to makemytrip.com but I could never talk to anyone over the phone but it is always answered by IVR and there after repeated failure to contact anyone, I contacted local makemytrip.com office in Guwahati and I was informed that the responsibility of this package remains with their program partner, shiftthoughts.com. This was never mentioned during the call offering this offer that there is any other partner involved in this offer.
I would have never accepted this offer:

1. If it was known to me that it is not makemytrip.com but some other dubious company that offered this offer and
2. The vouchers were not redeemable while booking online through makemytrip.com.
The offer took benefit of the credentials of makemytrip.com and makemytrip.com took this advantage for fraudulently duping their valuable customers.
Not only that, once I could talk to the executive over the given no. but the price quoted for the air ticket was higher than the existing tickets available from online booking and even after redeeming the vouchers, the price of the tickets are higher than the available tickets online and the executive was not offering tickets as desired by me in terms of time and convenience and was not even ready to confirm this immediately. After I opted for particular booking, I was informed that they will confirm this but no calls was received as well as any e-mail and I could never contact them again.
Now toadw 1st July 2010, I called the number again[protected] but I again my call was responded through IVR.
Please take this complaint to logical end and advice me for any appropriate action to be taken from my side.
I feel if the offer letter is really offered by Sachin Bhatia as seen from the attached letter, it is really shame that he has duped us. If he can do it for money what is left in his integrity?

make my trip/ festival offer — offer diffrent than promised

sir
The offer was explained by agent who promised 2 airtickets each for 2 adults and 2 children absolutely free however the lady who spoke first transfered the call to agent who said that tickets were free more than two times ,after that the call was tranferred to the person who said how many vouchers i will get and did not mention that i will not get tickets absolutely free and only this part of call was recorded
I feel cheated and want money to be refunded at the earliest on account of incorrect information provided to me and and cheating me
I agree with Prof A.K. Das

I also made payment of Rs. 7, 719.90 through my credit card on 15th Nov 2009 and have not recived till date any voucher, card and gift assured.

I was thinking till date STC-Makemytrip was some dubius company non-existant on earth and lost all the hope. today while once again trying to look for makmytrip-stc by google I could discover that it is existent. what kind of service it is customer has not recieved a packet and company has not even made a call of dispatch and dockit details. really strange.

Any way Thaks to Prof. A.K. Das I could get contact details as mentioned and call. they have assured me that with in 24 hrs I will be contacted again. lets hope for the best
I, p.r.venkatsubramanian, AM ANOTHER AFFECTED PARTY AS THE ABOVE PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN CHEATED BY MAKEMYTRIP.COM AND I ALSO HAVE PAID Rs.7719/90 ON THE 12th jULY THRU CREDITCARD FOR WHICH I HAVE NOT RECD.ANYTHING SO FAR. PLEASE HELP IN THIS REGARD AND LET ME KNOW WHETHER THIS CHEATING WILL GO ON FOREVER WITH THE NAME OF YOUR COMPANY.
9 days have pased and I have not recieved any call from make my trip or thoughts (the firm who sold the vouchers on behalf of makemy trip). Today when I called I was told by makemy trip we have nothing to do with it kindly contact directly to shift thought at[protected]. ANd this no is continuously bussy. Any way I will keep trying for one more day.

I tried the phone no provided by make my trip i.e.[protected] for continuosly three days from saturday to monday and the no. is constantly bussy. So again i CONTACTED mAKEMYTRIP AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME EMAIL ID [protected]@shiftthoughts.com, [protected]@shiftthoughts.com. OK I will write them. Its starnge makemytrip is linked to shiftthoughts and still have no responsibility.
I got a call from Makemytrip just one hour before. They have informed me that great indian offer is available and asked me check in the makemytrip website also. Is it really worthful to avail this offer?
I am expecting your reply as early as possible.
Hi all

The same issue persists.

Still makemytrip continues with this rubbish offer and deceiving all the customers...

In my case it happened the same way and i reverted back within a day asking for cancellation and money back -- ONLY ONE DAY after receiving the vouchers .. as i was surprised to see the conditions which were not told before.

I bought this package on sept 2010 .. till now I am trying to use the vouchers .. All the customer executives in makemytrip are not having any idea about this offer, , , they make me wait for a long time hold /..THIS IS NOT A TOLL FREE NUMBER .. and i used to waste so many rupees on phone calls //

I ;had done so many email communications .. each time executive changes and i had to start the story from the first and they end up with fake promises .

ONE SURPRISING THING ..

when i tried to book online .. it cannot be done ... I need to call them .. so i did that .. when I asked the executive to book airticket with the discount voucher of 500 /- i am having ...

the ticket rate was 5071 INR .. If i book online .. But these executives charge 1000 INR as service fee and then they deduct a discount of 500 as per my voucher it seems ... Ha ha ha ...

DO these people think we are fools ... when one can buy the ticket online directly with 5071 INR who will pay[protected]dicount voucher ) ... ????

I expect this should be stopped and action to be taken against these fraud by make my trip
i have also been the victim by these guys yesterday only. i'm thinking to register the complaint with the delhi police. i'm currently checking the legal point to proceed in this case. i'm from ahmedabad. so, if you have registered any complaint to any government department then please inform me. i'm also thinking to inform delhi police for this. if you think for the same then please call me on my cell no. [protected]. i'm already writing this message to many other victims of this fraud who have registered their case on this or similar web portals. lets unite and put our complaint in a strong manner to save many other people from this fraud. by the way, i've not received their so called "discount card". have you got it ? and does it really give the claimed 20% benefit in any malls ? please confirm. please call me or give me your cell no. i'll call you so we can decide the further action to be taken. thanks. yogi bhatt. ahmedabad
