Worst booking application ever. They're pulling a scam in the name of "Travel guarantee": they don't give you refunds in cash, they give it out in coupons which you can only use for booking a ticket within the next 7 days. You can't book a ticket for someone else and they won't refund the extra amount you paid for their "travel guarantee" service. They don't have dedicated customer support, so you're stuck around with a bot which just never understands your issue and keeps the convo on a loop.

I was booking a train ticket, I chose the UPI option for payment, and after the payment was made, the app got stuck on the payment screen for a long time. The app doesn't show any booking, neither successful nor failed, but the amount was deducted. I can't even contact customer service because apparently it's an AI, and since it doesn't show any booking, it can't lodge a complaint. Update: The amount was credited back to my bank account, but then today it happened again.

DO NOT GO FOR TRAVEL GUARANTEE! I regret not looking into it before I started using this app. It's a complete scam and all profit is theirs. I was only refunded with ticket charges as my ticket was never confirmed and all the remaining amount which was about 1500+ was not refunded at all and it turned out to be just a 'coupon' to be used for the next train booking which is of course of no use. It expires in just 7 days. Why would you mislead customers by showing the word 'REFUND' when it's not..
