What HR, finance, and procurement teams ask before placing a bulk order through GIFQ.
Talk to the GIFQ team →The Hotel Card is scoped exclusively to hotel bookings on MakeMyTrip's platform. Recipients cannot apply its value toward flights, bus tickets, holiday packages, or other non-accommodation products, which is intentional for programs where accommodation is the specific reward.
The card is denominated in Indian Rupees and is primarily designed for use within India. Recipients can book international hotel stays through MakeMyTrip's platform using the card, but the issuing currency and platform are India-based, so it is best suited for recipients with an Indian MakeMyTrip account.
GIFQ supports multiple INR denomination tiers for bulk orders. Contact the GIFQ sales team for current denomination options and minimum order quantities, as these can be configured based on your program's per-recipient value targets.
The general MakeMyTrip Gift Card gives recipients flexibility across flights, hotels, and packages, whereas the Hotel Card locks value to accommodation. If your reward program specifically targets travel stays — relocation support, sales incentive trips, or workation budgets — the Hotel Card creates a cleaner audit trail and tighter policy alignment.
MakeMyTrip Hotel Cards typically carry a validity window from the date of issuance, after which unused balances expire. Exact validity terms should be confirmed at the time of order through GIFQ, as terms can vary by denomination and issuance batch.
Yes. The Hotel Card is delivered digitally as a code, with no requirement for the recipient to be on a company payroll. This makes it a practical payout option for contractor milestone rewards, research panel incentives, or gig-platform bonuses where accommodation credit is relevant.
MakeMyTrip is India's largest online travel platform, operating across flights, hotels, holiday packages, and bus and train bookings. The Hotel Card is a purpose-built variant of MakeMyTrip's gift card that restricts redemption specifically to hotel bookings, making it a cleaner reward instrument for corporate programs where accommodation spend is the intended outcome. For HR and finance teams, the Hotel Card removes ambiguity — recipients cannot redirect value toward non-accommodation purchases, which matters for tax treatment, policy compliance, and program reporting. The card is denominated in Indian Rupees and is primarily redeemable on MakeMyTrip's platform within India, with some cross-border hotel inventory accessible for international travel. Typical recipient profiles include field sales staff who travel frequently, remote employees being reimbursed for workation stays, conference attendees needing hotel coverage, and channel partners earning accommodation-based incentives. The redemption experience is digital-first: recipients enter the card code at MakeMyTrip checkout and apply it against a hotel booking. Given MakeMyTrip's dominant position in the Indian online travel market, brand recognition among Indian employees is high, which reduces friction at the point of redemption and increases perceived value relative to lesser-known travel vouchers.
