In a groundbreaking move, Cleartrip, a subsidiary of Flipkart, has teamed up with Axis Bank, one of India’s premier private sector banks. This partnership aims to unveil an unprecedented offering, catering to both existing and new Axis Bank credit cardholders who choose Cleartrip for their travel needs.
The collaboration ushers in a host of exclusive advantages for domestic flight bookings, including seats valued up to INR 1200, complimentary meals worth up to INR 500, waiver of convenience fees, and the option to cancel or reschedule flights for a nominal fee of just Re. 1 under the CT FlexMax program. Furthermore, Axis Bank credit cardholders can access tailor-made travel deals without the hassle of accumulating and redeeming points.
Revolutionizing Travel Discounts
This strategic partnership represents a significant departure from the traditional approach to domestic flight booking discounts. Most Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) in today’s market focus on providing instant cash discounts through bank partnerships. However, these discounts are often offset by hefty convenience fees and additional charges for seats and meals. Moreover, the flexibility of such bookings is typically limited to cancellations or date changes, often at a premium cost. In stark contrast, our program redefines the norm by offering a comprehensive suite of services for a nominal fee of Re. 1. This innovative approach eliminates the need for large discounts to be compensated for by inflated convenience fees.
Cleartrip’s Visionary Collaboration
Ayyappan R., CEO of Cleartrip, expressed, “Cleartrip is committed to revolutionizing the OTA space through transparency and customer-centricity. Our partnership with Axis Bank is an embodiment of this commitment. It encompasses features like flexible bookings, cancellation options, and date changes, all without any additional expenses. This unique offering truly sets us apart in the market and is poised to benefit nearly 12.5 million customers.”
He added, “Axis Bank is a trusted financial institution with a strong affiliation with Flipkart and a vast user base. We are thrilled about this new chapter and anticipate strengthening this collaboration, thereby enhancing our value proposition.”
Axis Bank Elevating the Customer Experiences
Sanjeev Moghe, President & Head of Cards & Payments at Axis Bank, commented, “We are excited to collaborate with Cleartrip, a brand that shares our vision of providing unparalleled customer experiences. We continue to focus on innovation-driven partnership models to deliver a value proposition tailored to our customers’ evolving requirements while ensuring greater convenience and more benefits. We’ve noticed that travel is an area of high engagement for our customers, and this one-of-a-kind offering with Cleartrip will greatly enhance their travel plans.”
The Cleartrip-Axis Bank partnership is poised to reshape the future of travel with its comprehensive suite of privileges. With a relentless focus on customer-centricity driving the company’s growth, Cleartrip remains committed to exploring unique value propositions for its users, ensuring sustained business growth.
