You need to book your tiekcts online on www.ezeego1.com and refer as many friends & relatives as you want. When a referral books an IndiGo flight ticket online on www.ezeego1.com, then a credit voucher of Rs. 200 is generated for you.

Rs. 250 off on all domestic air ticket bookings at Yatra
Offer: Yatra is offering a discount of Rs. 250 on your next flight booking for a domestic air ticket booking done online on Yatra.com
Validity: till Apr 30, 2008.
Description: This discount is applicable only on the base fare, where the base fare is more than Rs. 500 per booking. This discount is not valid on Air Deccan bookings and the discount is applicable per booking, not per person booking. The booking can't be split. Yatra will note be responsible if a customer's voucher is redeemed by someone else using the intended recipients Yatra Reference Number. So, if you wish to give it to your friend you can give both the numbers to him/her :-)
You can get additional hotel discount on all domestic hotel bookings done online on Yatra.com. You will get 10% off on domestic hotel bookings. As usual, it'll be applicable on the base rent only. If you have booked Kingfisher flight with Yatra, then you'll get Rs. 1000 off on your domestic hotel booking.
There are many offers valid till Mar 31, 2008. You can go through almost all such offers here. But, you will find only few offers announced so far, which are applicable for the month of April. In case, you want to book your tickets/hotels during April, 2008, you can surely contemplate this offer also. With hotel bookings, the total discount can be as big as 1250 (250 + 1000 for kingfisher - here I assume that 10% of the base rent of the booked hotel doesn't exceed 1000).
If you're planning only a roundtrip flight booking, then you'll probably find this post more interesting: Rs. 599 for round trip GoAir.
If you think that the hotel booking charges are significantly higher for you and if you hold Visa Signature/Platinum/Gold credit cards, then you may like to go through this post as well: Up to 50% discount eVoucher on Visa Card at travelguru.
It's very likely that you may find an even better choice by browsing through all the available offers. You just need to go through all the relevant posts here :-)

There are so many offers running together. You need to see which of them suits best for you :-)

Up to 50% discount eVoucher on VISA card at travelguru
Offer: get up to 50% discount eVoucher on flight, hotel, & holiday bookings at travelguru.
Validity: currently valid and no expiry date announed so far.
Description: Book a hotel, holiday, or flight at travelguru through your VISA card and get discount eVoucher up to 50% of the base fare or base room rate excluding applicable taxes. The discount rate for Visa Signature is 50%, for Platinum it's 25%, for Gold it's 15%, and for any other Visa card it's 10% in case of flight booking. These eVouchers can be redeemed for the next holiday or hotel booking at travelguru.
Visit http://www.travelguru.com/ or Call 1 - 800 - 22 - 4878 to avail the offer.
For Visa Signature/Platinum Card holders, it definitely makes sense to analyze this offer before booking flight, hotel, or holiday packages. For others, it may not be the best choice available. The other trap here is that the eVoucher can be used for next hotel or holiday booking only, so those who are interested in booking flights only can ignore this offer unless they want to gift the eVouchers to their friends/family :-)
