8% cash back on international air tickets at Ezeego

Offer: 8% cash back on international air tickets at Ezeego

Validity: till Mar 31, 2008

Description: We already have quite a few offers on Ezeego for Visa cardholders. I believe, I've already covered all these offers, except this one. I probably skipped this because it didn't look very attractive at first sight. Ezeego is offering 8% discount on base air fares on all international air ticket bookings on Austrian Airlines, Alitalia, Delta Airlines, and Malayasian Airlines.

We don't have many offers currently available on international air ticket bookings. However, few good offers are available for international holiday bookings and they are already posted here. I guess, you may like to consider this offer if you are interested only in flight bookings and not in international holiday bookings.

Just click the 'ezeego' link either in the Quick Search section or in the Labels entries of a relevant post to find all available Ezeego offers (many of them are in combination with Visa), which include holiday booking offers as well.

Most of the Rajasthan and Uttarakhand packages are no longer valid. Few of the offers for other parts of the country are valid even upto mid of Oct, 2008. But, most of the offers are valid only till March 14-21, 2008. So, if you're planning a holiday soon then you may like to consider these options. MakeMyTrip claims so much to provide you a nice holiday experience. Based on their reputation I suppose that they won't disappoint you :-)

50% Cash back on HDFC Credit Card at Cleartrip

Offer: Instant 50% Cash back on HDFC Credit Card at Cleartrip

Validity: booking between Mar 05, 2008 and Mar 14, 2008 for any travel date

Description: Get instant 50% cash back on your HDFC Bank Credit Card on booking roundtrip flights for at least 2 people or one-way flights for at least 4 people in a single booking for adult or child at Cleartrip.com.

The maximum cash back amount is either 50% of the base fare or Rs. 2000 - whichever is less. You can avail this offer only for Deccan, Spice Jet, GoAir, IndiGo, and JetLite flights that are currently available on Cleartrip.com.

Though, this offer is valid for all the bookings made online on Cleartrip.com for select airlines during the above mentioned period only. But, the travel date can be any date of your choice. This offer can be availed only once during the promotion period - once per credit card.

Rs.2000 or 50% of base fare per booking looks to be a decent gain, so you may definitely like to consider this offer in case you're planning to book tickets during the promotion peiod, especially when the travel date is also either during the same period or if that's only a few days after the promotion expires. You can surely get better offers in case your date of travel is not very near. But, people having a habit of booking their tickets not so early or those who are forced to do it due to various reasons can enjoy this promotional offer:-)

Deccan tickets @ Rs. 499/- on SBI Credit Card

Offer: Deccan tickets @ Rs. 499/- for SBI Credit Card holders

Validity: for bookings till Mar 15, 2008 and valid for travel from Jan 15, 2008 to Mar 31, 2008

Description: Deccan in association with the State Bank of India (SBI) has announced its special fixed fare offer called the "SBI card - Flat Fare' offer, for all SBI Credit Card holders. A fixed fare of Rs. 499/- (Basic fare) will be offered to passengers booking on Deccan using their SBI credit card. Taxes and surcharge, as applicable will be borne by the passenger.

This offer is valid only for bookings made through the Deccan call centre (39008888). As with the case with most of the other offers, this offer can also not be combined with any other package/scheme.

This offer is non transferable and applicable only for SBI credit card holders. A credit card holder can also avail the offer for a maximum of 3 passengers per sector on a single flight. The credit card holder has to be one of the passengers availing the offer and traveling on the flight, else the offer will be invalid.

Rs. 499 per ticket may not look very attractive in case you're booking your tickets well in advance as you may get few better offers or schemes to book your tickets through, but you will certainly find it decent if you happen to book your tickets not much prior to your date of travel. Since you can book a maximum of 3 tickets per flight (including your ticket), so this can turn out to be quite a good offer if you're travelling with 1-2 friends. I've already posted few other good offers for air/train/hotel/holiday bookings applicable on SBI credit card and I've been noticing for quite a while that SBI credit card is becoming better and better for most of the travel needs. If you don't have this card by now, you may like to think if you really don't need it :-)

Reason being, there is no expiry date announced for this MasterCard offer.
