Here is one way ABN AMRO bank in India tries to act smart with its credit card holders. And take you on an ‘air’ ride, literally.
I got a call from the bank for a very tempting offer. This is the deal I was entitled to as a credit card holder issued by the bank:
- For a sum of Rs. 4,000 I would be entitled to four one way air tickets on Indian Airlines (now merged with Air India) to be used within India only. Taxes, surcharges and airport charges would be extra.
- These could be used on any sectors where this airlines flies.
- The vouchers would be valid for one year.
Since this was sounding too good to be true, I asked more than one salesperson of the bank if this was exactly what it was. And I was told yes. When I asked for it in writing, they said they cannot do that but there is no ambiguity here. All right, if you say so.
And when I opened the vouchers today to redeem them, what do I see? I had been totally misled by the bank’s representative. Read on to know how
