Shameful act by YATRA: Not refunding cancellation amt on gift voucher of INR 5000

I am also facing same issue. I used 2500 GV and some amount by netbanking. Got only refund of netbanking amount. Connected with CC they said, GV is only one time usable so cant refund. Strange but unfortunately i think we cant do much.

These vouchers are one time use only and its same for all.
U should have been careful.
Which SBI card milestone was this? read T&C again and see if there is any point in your favour or talk to SBI CC and request them.

it’s mentioned in the tnc!
Once I had used gift voucher for goibibo, but this time, the hotel cancelled the booking as they said they don’t have any rooms left for the dates (thus cancelled). Goibibo didn’t refund me the gift voucher amount as they said its for one time use only and cant be refunded. I fought with them stating that the hotel cancelled my booking and it wasn’t my fault (so cant be penalized), the fight lasted for a month and finally got it transferred to my bank account. I got the GV for free anyways for my transactions on HDFC Credit card

So, if you have cancelled the booking, forget the GV, you wont get it.

Yes, right. Basically thats what CC told me as well. I cancelled the hotel and told them as Govt. has closed the temples so i am unable to go, but they said as hotel is operating (plus GV one time used) so they are unable to do any refund.

Happy to share yatra has alllowed reuse of the voucher as a one time exception for another new booking.

problem solved

Can you share how you got this resolved? Through email or phone? How they agreed for one time exception. I will also give another try. I just dint replied to their last mail where they said unable to refund.

They play fast and loose all the time with their TnC.

For Yatra, see:
https://www.sbicard.com/en/personal/rewards/yat...

19. In case of cancellations, EGV amount will be used for next booking once after deducting the standard cancellation charges. Customer will need to call – 0124-4883876/77 for cancellation and re-booking.

Try quoting that to them and see what happens.

BTW, something totally opposite is usually written in the introductory TnC that you get for the first time along with your card.
