Travelguru announces
summer sizzlers....
Mumbai, April 18th, 2006:- Travelguru,
India's first travel portal to offer metasearch technology,
today announced a special offer of free air tickets exclusively
for Citibank credit/debit card and Diners Club card members..
The offer designed especially to benefit Citibank card
members, is an easy way of earning a free, one-way ticket
between different destinations, based on the amount spent
by the card member.
Sharing details about this exclusive three month long,
Mr. Ashwin Damera, co-founder and CEO of Travelguru said,
“We are delighted to bring Citibank card holders
a unique offer that can benefit them during the upcoming
holiday season. Winning a free ticket under the offer
is very simple-a card holder has to spend an amount of
Rs. 12,000 on Travelguru towards purchasing of domestic
flights or international or hotels within India over a
period of three months. This is just the first in a slew
of promotional alliances planned to offer unprecedented
value to all travelers who book their travel and accommodation
through Travelguru this holiday season”.
The offer is valid on all transactions done for booking
domestic and international flights and hotels from now
until June 30, 2006. To redeem their free ticket, Citibank
card members will have to call Travelguru’s call
centre on
+91 - 22 - 4030 4878 (standard charges apply) at
least five days before the intended date of travel and
request for their free ticket. Travel on the free ticket
will have to be undertaken on or before October 15, 2006.
There are three tiers of spend and depending on the level
of spend, the Citibank card member will get a free ticket
for the appropriate sector. To illustrate an example,
on a cumulative spend greater than Rs. Twelve thousand
only, the customer is eligible for a one way free ticket
to a whole list of sectors such as Hyderabad-Ahmedabad,
Mumbai-Goa- Calicut, and the like. Similarly, on a cumulative
spend greater than Rs. Twenty four thousand only, the
customer is eligible for a one way free ticket to various
sectors such as Mumbai-Goa , Mumbai- Bangalore and the
like. Thirdly, on a cumulative spend greater than Rs.
Thirty six thousand only, the customer is eligible for
a one way free ticket to sectors such as, Mumbai- Chennai
, Delhi-Mumbai and various other options mentioned on
the website. What’s exciting is that a spend of
Thirty-six thousand entitles a customer to a free round
trip domestic ticket on a whole lost of sectors like Bangalore-Hyderabad,
Delhi-Jaipur, Mumbai-Goa and the like.
Speaking about this exciting offer exclusively for Citibank
card members , Devyani Nagpal, Chief Marketing Officer,
Travelguru, commented; “ While designing the offer
our prime objective was to ensure there is something substantial
for every customer who books hotels or flights tickets
on Travelguru using their Citibank credit card or debit
card or Diners Club card. We wanted the customers to experience
for themselves that buying a ticket on Travelguru is not
just economical but also very rewarding. Based on customer
and industry feedback we have been conscious to ensure
that the process of redeeming the free ticket is made
very simple and customer friendly. We are very happy with
the offer response in the first 15 days of April'06, we
have added 25,000 new registered users and done an incremental
of 3000 transactions already as a result of this offer'
