BookMyForex, an online foreign exchange platform, has added travel rewards to its Forex Card, bundling cashback on forex loads, MakeMyTrip travel benefits across flights, hotels, visas and tours and attractions, and a complimentary airport transfer voucher on qualifying purchases.
The move turns what has traditionally been a currency-loading product into an integrated travel rewards card for India’s outbound travellers, the company, a subsidiary of MakeMyTrip Ltd, said in a statement.
All BookMyForex Forex Cardholders will enjoy travel benefits, including discounts of up to ₹6,000 on international flights, up to 30 per cent off on hotels, and additional savings on visa bookings, tours and attractions booked through MakeMyTrip, it said.
New customers will also receive up to 2 per cent cashback on their first forex load on a minimum load of ₹25,000, it said.
Customers purchasing a new BookMyForex Forex Card with a minimum forex load of ₹15,000 will also receive a complimentary ₹500 MakeMyTrip airport transfer voucher, redeemable for an airport pick up or drop at any Indian airport, the company said.
“Our estimates indicate that Indian travellers can lose 3 to 5 per cent of their overseas spend to forex markups and conversion fees on typical rupee-denominated credit cards, money that leaks away with every international transaction,” Gagan Malhotra, Chief Operating Officer, BookMyForex said.
“A Forex Card should do more than just save on conversion costs, it should also reward spending that happens on flights, hotels, airport transfers and experiences. That’s why we’ve added travel rewards and benefits to our Forex Card, helping customers save not just on foreign exchange, but across their entire travel journey,” he added.
