Our Review

The MakeMyTrip card makes sense only if you consistently book through MMT. The 5% back on MMT bookings (flights, hotels, packages) is straightforward and the credits are immediately usable on the platform. But here's the honest comparison: HDFC Regalia or Diners Black with SmartBuy gives you 10x on travel bookings — nearly double the value. The MakeMyTrip card's advantage is simplicity (no portal hopping, credits auto-applied) and a lower income requirement. If you book 2-3 trips a year on MMT, the card pays for itself. But as your income grows, graduate to an HDFC card with SmartBuy access for significantly better travel rewards.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • + 5% back on MakeMyTrip bookings — flights, hotels, holiday packages
  • + MyBiz Credits directly usable on MMT — no transfer hassle
  • + 1,000 MMT voucher at 2L annual spend covers the fee
  • + Good for people who book travel through MMT regularly

Cons

  • - 1.5% base rate is below average for non-MMT spends
  • - Credits locked into MakeMyTrip ecosystem
  • - Only 2 domestic lounge visits
  • - 5% on MMT isn't as good as SmartBuy 10x on HDFC premium cards
