I had booked a ticket with Ticket ID FLT[protected](PNR RDCBVE and RDCBV4) on 15th Jan through makemytrip taking it to be the best in providing support for ticket bookings etc.I called up makemytrip.com on 22nd Jan and tried cancelling this ticket but couldnt get my call completed thanks due to the long hold i was put too due to damn slow systems on their side.After failing to complete the call 5 times, i got frustrated and called up the airline directly and cancelled the ticket directly.It has been 20 days and I am yet to get the refund on the same.Amount being Rs. 6,254.Please refund me my money ASAP.

Hi,

I had booked an Air Kingfisher ticket through Makemytrip.com for the 20th of Jan 2010. This ticket cost me Rs. 3136/-. Since I had to pre-pone my trip to 19th Jan, I took a new ticket directly from the Kingfisher Airlines at the airport. Kingfisher airport authorities asked me to pay the whole amount (i.e. Rs.5500/-) for the fresh thicket which they issued to me. They also told me that an e-ticket booked through Makemytrip would have to be cancelled online itself.

I cancelled my ticket on the 19th itself from Makemytrip website. I got a comment after successful cancellation stating that, the amount would get credited to my bank accout after 10 business days, after deduction of the cancellation charges. It is 11th Feb.2010 today (more than 20 working days) but my amount is still not credited to my bank account.

Every time i speak to a customer support exec. They give me different answers altogether. Even to an extent of disconnecting my call.

Please could you help me get my refunded amt. ?

I booked 4 bus tickets from Pune to Goa on 9th jan 2010 worth Rs 2400 via www.makemytrip.com. On 14th jan, I receive a mail saying vendor can cancelled the booking and refund process will be done and money will be transferred to your bank account. That day, I receive Rs 150 only in place of 2400.
I've called the toll free number several times, every time they say, refund will be done in the next 48hrs but its never done.
Please help me recover my money.

Dear Sir,

Booking of Air Ticket through Makemytrip.com – Non Refund of Money

I would like to place below the details case history:

Air ticket was booked through Makemytrip.com with following details:
Air ticket from London (Heathrow) to Mumbai by Air India
Booking ID No.: IN 0906B01272
PNR No. ZPXHMS
Date of Booking : 05th June 2009
Date of Journey: 29th August 2009
Name of Passenger: SAQUIB MANKAR
Mode of Payment: ICICI credit card
Nature of Booking : Ticket booked over phone
Terms of Booking (as told over phone at the time of booking the ticket)
Postponement of Journey: can be done within period of one year from the date of booking of the ticket. However, additional charges of Rs 6500/- and the difference of fair at the time of journey would be applicable. The postponement should be informed at least 5 days in advance from the date of journey.

Chronological details of the events thereafter:
Call details made to “Makemytrip” from phone no. 0257 – 2282147/[protected]
22nd August 2009:
I informed that my son Saquib Mankar would not be traveling on 29th August 2009 due to certain reasons and would like to postpone the date of Journey. The call centre executive told that the same can be done but I have to pay 6500/- additional charges and the difference of fare applicable on the date of journey. The validity of postponement will by upto December 2009. I confirmed having agreed for paying Rs 6500/- and difference of fair at the time of travel. I told the executive that my son is not traveling on 29th August 2009 and will travel on future date. The conversation was over at this point of time.

21st November 2009

I informed that my son wants to travel on 25th November 2009 or whatever earliest flight available on the ticket already booked by me. The call centre executive informed that the ticket is “no show” as such that ticket has been cancelled. It was informed to him by me that on 22nd August 2009 it was told that the ticket can by postponed upto December 2009 with additional charges and difference of fair. After long discussions it was told that the information given to me on 22nd August 2009 was not correct and should have contacted Air India for cancellation of ticket. At this time I argued about the wrong information given to me and try to find out solution. But no satisfactory reply was given.

1st December 2009

I talked to call centre executive (Hitesh Bhatti) narrating the entire chain of events. After discussing the issue and consulting seniors for about half an hour he informed that we gone through earlier call conversation of their executives had with me (party) and finally informed their decision is to refund the entire booking amount of Rs 18000/- (accepting their miss communication). It was also informed that the amount would be credited to my credit card (through which I made the payment) within 10 working days.

01st February 2010

Spoke to call centre executive (Ms Dhairya. Ref. No. IN 0912R0214174) giving reference of communication held with Hitesh Bhatti on 01st December 2009. She again discussed the entire episode and told that what Hitesh told about refund of money has not been recorded on their data sheet. She promised that if Hitesh has committed the refund which will be found out from “Customer Conversation Record” the company maintains the amount will be certainly refunded. For verifying the communication of Hitesh with me (party) they need 24 hours time and after that the company will revert back to me.

05th February 2010

Spoke to call centre executive Karandeep (Ref No. IN 0912R0228105) giving the reference of conversation dated 01/02/2010 with Ms Dhairya. Karandeep informed that it is on the record that Hitesh did commit to refund the entire amount on 1st December 2009 and she wonders why Ms Dhairya told that it is not available on the data sheet can not be told. She further informed that she being new she has to consult her seniors to give me reply in this regard. After consulting seniors she replied that it is fault of mine (party) and as such refund is not possible. I confronted by saying that since long the matter is discussed and company has agreed to refund the amount then why all of sudden this U turn. She replied that I have discussed the matter with seniors and the decision not to refund is final. Meanwhile Senior Mr Mandeep intervened and just informed that the mistake of the party hence no refund is possible.

Plea with the Consumer forum:

 The company on 1st December 2009 certainly came to the conclusion that there was mistake on part of call centre executive which gave in complete information about rule of postponement i.e. I need to have call air lines for cancellation of ticket.
My contention in this regard is : Had the call centre executive informed me to call Air Lines and cancel the ticket, in case I want to postpone the journey, I would have definitely done this. Because I am a senior officer working with reputed bank having broadband, land and mobile phone service available with me.

 The request is to take up the matter with the Company and also request for requisitioning all the call communications, as mentioned above, to verify the submissions made by me and decide whether the company is at fault.
 The forum is also requested to advise company to make the full refund and booking amount in addition to suitable financial compensation for having gone through mental and physical agony over period of past 3 months, if the company is found at fault by the forum


Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

I have tried to book a ticket with MakeMyTrip but the transaction was incomplete due to some technical reason and the amount was debited from my account.

Immediately, I tried to get in touch with their 24/7 customer support but I had to be in the queue for approaximately 20 minutes and finally when the call was answered, the agent disconnected it. I tried again but this time aproaximately 30 minutes in the queue but no answer.

Finally I disconnected the call myself, because I have realized that the call charge from SWEDEN is exceeding the tickect charge itself.

I am not worried about the money spent on phone call but we really have to do something about this, to bring this into the attention of the management so that better quality support can be availed.

I am planning to send an email now but I dont have clue about theit response time.

Dear concerned,

On 25.01.2010, between 04 pm to 7 PM, while was trying to book some tickets from your website through my State Bank Debit Card, there was a 'transaction error' and eventually, the tickets could not be booked.
However, when I checked my account balance, shockingly it showed a debit of an amount of Rs.9458/-, though there were no tickets booked.

Details are:

SBI A/c No:[protected]
A/c holder: Avneesh Garg
Debit Card No: [protected]-481
Bookinig was tried to be made on: 25.01.2010
Booking was tried to be made for the 04:15 PM flight of 01.02.2010 from Pune to Delhi for two persons.
the contact number given for the said booking was [protected] and the email id given was - mukesh.[protected]@gmail.com

Therefore, you are required to refund the same immediately under due intimation to the undersigned.

Secondly, on making further search I have found that this is not something new for your site and a number of persons find this difficulty, more than often.

I also got to know that though, the concerned airlines may not be having a Debit Card payment facility, yet your website tries to have such payment made from your internet own resources, without having any tie upwith them in this regard. For this you impliedly represent to the customers that you can provide a Debit Card payment facility even for such airlines which do not have one.
However, actually, due to there being no such arrangements between you and that airlines, customer end up losing there money and you either usurp their money, on account of there not coming to know such cheating by you or by bluntly refusing to the refund the same leading into a litigation.
You, in any case, do not refund the amount within a reasonable time and enjoy earning interest on such amounts for at least 7 days.

Accordingly, I think this is high time you should mend your ways otherwise, the undersigned shall be constrained to initiate appropriate proceedings against such malpractices of cheating, for the costs and consequences of which you shall be wholly and solely liable.

Lastly, I also believe that once you have charged an amount, which you ought not to have, it is your responsibility to refund the said amount by yourself, or contact the concerned customer informing him the same with your proposed action of rectification, immediately.

Hi,

Sector : CCU-BLR
Flight : IT-3434
Date of Travel : Wed, 02 Dec, 2009

For some paper ticket related issue i canceled my ticket, and as per discussion with makemytrip customer care, i send all documents.
After that i got a sms and call from you, i will get refund of Rs 3809 and this amount , i will get with in 10 working days
But till now i am not getting my refund money.

For last 2 years i am using this site for flight booking. and i was satisfy with makemytrip service. But this is very bad experience with makemytrip.

I booked the hotel from Make My Trip through phone and the executive Paras booked my hotel for Mahabaleshwar. When I tried to confirm the booking from Hotel, they said that they are completely sold off and MMT can't give you the confirmation number. When I got back to MMT they insisted that booking holds good, but I insisted and asked them to check with the hotel, then they got back and confirmed that yes, its a wrong booking from their side.
Now, the question is...how can they book hotels when they do not know about the availability. If I or in that matter anyone reaches hotel on the said date and finds that his/her room is not booked then it will be a great shock and where will he go with the family.
I asked them to give me another booking, they asked me to wait for 24hrs. This is ridiculous.
Bad experience with these people. Will never suggest anyone to get the booking done from them of any type, because it will be a great risk for your travel plan (flight, hotel, taxis etc.)
I thus request the concerned authorities to look into and get my complete dues over and above the actual cost incurred because of the problem i faced

Dear sir/madam,
Reference is made to tele promotion from makemy trip on 11th Nov 09, wherein I was offered certain discount vouchers from the company on a payment of Rs. 7719.90/-. Though the delivery was to be made within 21days, I have still not recieved these vouchers. Thereafter on 31 Dec 09 I had requested the company to cancel the transaction on the grounds of non receipt and refund the amount which had been deducted for the same from my credit card. Reference is made to the telephonic conversation regarding the same with company rep Ms Neha on 31st Dec 09. A complaint on the same issue was e-mailed to the company 0n id [protected]@shiftthoughts.com. on 31st Dec 09. No positive endevour has been undertaken from the company side to refund my legitimate due which has been debited from my credit card account. Due consideration may also be given to the number of STD calls which I had to make to reach the company rep regarding the same

I Booked a Flight ticket for the following date, from Pune to Delhi, on 5th Jan 2010, using the website for Make my trip.com
Make my trip Booked me a Unconfirmed Ticket from Pune to Delhi, by Indigo Airline
And a Confirmed Booking from Delhi to Ranchi, by Indian airlines.
On calling Indigo Airlines, I found there was no reason from Indigo airlines for not confirming the Flight, They said, Make my trip needs to confirm the booking, which they never did.
On top, none in the Make my trip Call centre was able to fix the problem, and always ended up keeping me on Hold over the phone for Hours, with no end result.
I even got an Email saying, that the Make my trip representative is trying to get in touch with me over the phone and I am not responding. And this was a big fat lie. Why should I not respond to a call, after I have paid 13,000 Rs using my Citibank creditcard.This transaction was confirmed to me over my cell phone and email from Citibank.
Now I am being told that Indigo flight fare will be reimbursed, but Indian Airline flight fare will be deducted.
How can I be charged for the 2nd or connecting flight , when Make my trip never confirmed me the 1st flight ticket? How does make my trip expect me to take a flight from Delhi when I am still sitting in Pune.Make my trip is supposed to co-ordinate with both the airlines and get me a result.
