Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q1 Can I transfer my MMTBLACK status to someone else?<\/strong><br>\u274c No. Membership is non-transferable and tied to your MakeMyTrip account only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2 What happens if I don&#8217;t renew my tier?<\/strong><br>Your membership expires after 12 months if you don&#8217;t meet renewal criteria (spend + trip count). You&#8217;ll need to re-qualify from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3 Do international bookings count toward MMTBLACK?<\/strong><br>\u2705 Yes, but ONLY bookings made through MakeMyTrip India domain (not .ae, .us, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4 Can I use myCash with promo codes?<\/strong><br>\u2705 Absolutely! myCash can be combined with most promo codes for maximum savings.

Hit Rs 2L spending + 4 trips anytime during your membership period. Upgrade is immediate, and your 12-month cycle restarts from upgrade date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q7 What if I was Platinum last year but spend less this year?<\/strong><br>You&#8217;ll be downgraded to Gold (if Rs 50K-2L) or lose membership (if &lt;Rs 50K) at renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>myCash &amp; Rewards Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q8 Does canceled booking myCash get refunded?<\/strong><br>\u2705 Yes, myCash used in canceled bookings returns to your wallet, BUT the original expiry date remains unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Used Rs 500 myCash (expiry: Dec 31)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canceled on Dec 15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rs 500 returned but still expires Dec 31 (16 days left!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q9 Can I use partial myCash?<\/strong><br>\u2705 Yes!

E.g., use Rs 500 from Rs 2,000 balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q10 Do offline bookings (call center) earn benefits?<\/strong><br>\u274c No. Only online bookings (app\/website) qualify for MMTBLACK benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hotel Benefits Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q11 Are room upgrades really guaranteed?<\/strong><br>\u2705 Yes, at participating hotels with MMTBLACK Benefits tag. Not &#8220;subject to availability&#8221; like regular programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q12 Can I add room upgrade after booking?<\/strong><br>\u274c No! Must select during booking at payment page.
