Jaldi 100 at BMS - 100 free tickets at Adlabs

Offer: Jaldi 100 at BookMyShow - 100 free tickets at Adlabs

Validity: till Apr 07, 2008

Description: BookMyShow is offering 100 free movie tickets everyday for the first 100 customers who buy movie tickets online on www.bookmyshow.com. This offer is valid on any movie playing at Adlabs Cinemas and you can avail of the offer only in the case you buy a minimum of 2 movie tickets. One free ticket of a maximum value of Rs. 250 will be given per transaction. That means, if you but 2 tickets worth Rs. 300 each and you qualify for the 'Jaldi 100' offer for the day then you'll need to pay only Rs. 350 + service fee.

Adlabs Cinemas are among the best cimenas in the country and given the fact that you have choice of choosing any movie, seat, show, etc. you want, it makes sense to consider this offer. There is a similar offer run by PVRCinemas (on VISA Card) as well. I've already posted that here. PVR Offer looks little better because you get one free ticket for every two ticket irrespective of the total numbers of tickets you buy in one transaction. Whereas, in this offer you'll get a maximum of 1 free ticket per transaction. Moreover, in this case only first 100 customers qualify for the offer, but in case of PVR offer this number is supposedly far more than 100. Not to mention that the validity of PVR Offer is till July 31, 2008. Anyway, people planning to give Adlabs Cinemas a try will certainly like to consider this offer. Enjoy both the offers :-)

Rs. 1000/- Cleartrip Gift Voucher for shopping at Rediff

Offer: Rs. 1000/- Cleartrip Gift Voucher for shopping at Rediff

Validity: currently valid and no last date announced so far

Description: Rediff, one of the leading online shopping portals, has come up with an offer of giving Rs. 1000 cash back in form of Rs. 1000 Gift Voucher from Cleartrip for any shopping done on the portal. There is no specific mention of the amount one needs to shop for, but I guess, it's Rs. 1000 or more.

Rediff Shopping offers a variety of choices ranging from Apparel, Books, Computers, Home Appliances, Jewellery, Music, Personal Care proucts, Electronics, an much more. Most of the proucts are currently under various discount schemes. For example, Wills Lifestyle - up to 50%, 53% off on 3.1 Mp Handycam, etc.

You just need to shop for Rs. 1000 and more to avail the Rs. 1000 Gift Voucher from Cleartrip. The voucher will be sent along with the product to the delivery address of the order booked at Rediff. The only negative aspect of this offer is that you can redeem this voucher at Cleatrip only for hotel bookings or holiday package bookings. That too only for those packages which worth Rs. 5000 or more.

You can redeem only one voucher against each booking. Your cash back will be credited to your credit card.

This is certainly a decent offer, but only for those who are planning to book a hotel/holiday worth Rs. 5000 or more. They can always find something or the other to shop online at Rediff for Rs. 1000 or more - household goods, apparels, books, electronics, etc. They just need to think about the necessities, look for them at Rediff, and buy (may be in advance) to grab the offer before getting their hotel/holiday bookings done at Cleartrip. Others may like to skip this offer. But, if you have got to buy something of value Rs. 1000 or more then it's worth utilizing this opportunity. Of course, only in the case when you find goods of your choice at Rediff Shopping. There is no last date mentioned for the redemption of the voucher, so it may be beneficial for you too. Maybe not now, but in future :-)

• Rs. 250 voucher for Rs. 125
• Rs. 500 voucher for Rs. 250

You've two payment options for buying the vouchers at GiftMate - Credit Card and Net Banking.

GiftMate is a voucher on your mobile which can be used to pay for online purchases without having to divulge any credit card details. All you have to do is enter your mobile number on the screen and authorize the payment with your 4-digit Pin which you get at the time of buying the voucher.

There are around 3000 online portals which accept GiftMate vouchers for online shopping. This includes popular portals like Rediff Shopping, Future Bazaar, Sify mall, Indiaplaza, Indiatimes, Ezeego, BookMyShow, etc.

I think the process of getting the GiftMate voucher is also not very cumbersome. If you're planning to buy something which you can easily buy online as well on any of the above mentioned portals then you may certainly think of utilizing this opportunity. You should get an SMS instantly with your redemption PIN and other details via email soon after paying the money at GiftMate portal. You just need to fill in few mandatory details and then pay either by Credit Card or via Net Banking. As is the case with many other offers, you can't club it with any other offer run by PayMate. Remember that you can avail this offer only once, so you may prefer to buy a large denomination. This voucher can be used over the next 1 year in multiple purchases. Not everyone feels comfortable buying everything online. But, air ticket bookings, hotel bookings, etc. are normally preferred to be done online only. The validity of the voucher is also 1 year. And I think, its applicability to be valid for multiple purchases makes it even more attractive. What do you say?
