Which credit card to use on MakeMyTrip

MakeMyTrip is travel, but flights, hotels, and holiday packages can hit different rates. A bank travel portal booking is not the same as paying MakeMyTrip with a card on file. Match the path before you match the card.

Portal versus merchant

Some cards pay more when you book travel through the issuer portal. Some pay a travel or online rate on MakeMyTrip itself. Paying the merchant with the portal card, or the portal with a dining card, is how the bonus is missed.

EMI on a flight or a wallet load can drop the earn to zero. If the fare is large, check the cap before you confirm. One booking can finish a monthly travel bonus.

Aim the booking at the trip goal

If you are collecting miles or portal points for a later trip, this MakeMyTrip charge should sit on that currency. A cashback card can win the headline rate and still lose the plan.

Log the booking after you pay. Checkout assist on Android can rank the cards you hold for MakeMyTrip where the flow is verified.
