55% of any hotel booking
55% of any hotel booking
- www.goibibo.com (indian ota in english)
- use promo code GODIWALI14
- gets you 50% off on a computer or 55% off on the mobile app
- no min stay, no min spend
- works on chain hotels, too
- they cap the discount at 2000 INR/33 USD (so booking a hotel at close to 66 USD gets you the maximum discount)
- people reporting the site is accepting amex cards
- might be a useful promo for people who book cheaper hotels or who book chain hotels for which promo codes almost never apply. 33 USD discount is better than nothing

One has to call their CC Issuer and tell them that they will be doing a transaction with a foreign entity named .....

I called my cc and warned them I would be making a purchase, they noted it.
Just tried to book a room and of course the payment didn't go through. I guess you really do need an Indian issued cc. Did anyone succeed with a US cc?

All my credit card are not working with this site.
Everytime I tried to make a purchase its show following msg.
****
We are sorry but the transaction failed.
Reason for failure: International cards are not accepted
Retry transaction using a card issued within India.
