Air India has partnered with Zomato to let customers earn Maharaja Points on food orders. Users can link their Air India and Zomato accounts to earn 2 percent back on orders above ₹499.
Free Zomato Gold and Ticket Draw
The deal also gives customers a free three-month Zomato Gold subscription. Each linked user is entered into a daily draw for a one-way Air India economy class ticket voucher.
Promotion Targets Young Customers
The collaboration first surfaced on social media, quickly catching the eye of frequent flyers and foodies. It seems aimed at younger, digital-first users while encouraging loyalty between food and air travel spending.
Mixed Reactions from Users
Online reactions have been divided. Some people called it a decent start, but others questioned the actual value. Critics feel the points earned are too low to redeem for free flights.
Points vs Real Value
One Reddit comment calculated that spending ₹500 daily for a year earns 3,650 Maharaja Points. That is still below the points needed for a free domestic ticket, leaving many doubtful about its usefulness.
Buzz Over Benefits
Many say the real draw is the free Zomato Gold membership and a slim chance to win the ticket voucher. Users believe the offer is more about publicity for both brands than real travel rewards.
