Dear Friends,

What is the most rewarding way of booking train ticket now? 

With recent devaluation of axis Ace & sbi cashback card, I am looking for a way to get maximum reward on train ticket booking.

Please suggest friends 🙂🙂

I think the cheapest one is the UPI incase of train tickets.

I was also thinking of this some days back.

Specify the credit and debit cards you have then the DD experts can make a good suggestion.

Amazon charge 40-50rs agent fee, so profitable if you need to book ticket > 2500rs.
I think the cheapest way:
  • for tickets <1500 => upi
  • for tickets between 1500-2500 => prepaid card (via which you can take 1% on money load, like icici card on payzapp, or junio)
  • For tickets > 2500, via amazon
If anyone book train ticket frequently then some IRCTC specific credit card will be a better choice

We cannot Smartbuy to buy Sr. Citizen/Ladies quota. Also have issues while cancelling tickets. Always need to contact travel desk via email for cancellation. However it is still best among others for 5% cashback in case of normal tickets

In terms of Rs how much you are saving by booking with mmt gv and directly booking trains from amazon with apay balance?

If that is significant do check each and every word of t&c and also check with mmt cc once to confirm

Dont get stuck with mmt gv


btw Jodhpur to Bangalore is very long journey , have a comfortable and safe journey bro

In Jodhpur do try Mirchi Bada & Pyaj Kachori at Janta Sweets (ignore if you are native to jodhpur, you must be knowing it already)

Buying mmt gv from Amazon at 5% discount through SBI cashback cc 5% cashback overall benefit around 10%.

And I am going banglore from Surat Gujarat. No tickets is there from Surat so doing booking from jodhpur. Not going to visit jodhpur just for ticket purpose.
