Visa Offer: Get Rs.75 Off on 3 OLA Rides (Upto Rs.225)

By | March 28, 2017

When it comes to booking a cab, i always prefer Uber as i feel it has lots of advantages over its domestic competitor OLA, like,

  1. Low Fares than OLA (experienced many times)
  2. Faster customer support (i need to escalate to deal with OLA)
  3. Connectivity in many countries (saved me hell a lot of $ recently)
  4. The Global Brand
  5. 10X Rewards with Diners cards (I use it with Diners Black )

That being said, Uber is not available in all cities and hence OLA serves as a pretty good backup for me. Now with an exclusive partnership with Visa, they’ve come up with a jaw dropping offer which i availed it to the fullest.

OLA Visa Offer

The offer has been up for quite sometime which some of you might already know, but its just a reminder incase you missed it.

I was on a quick trip to Chennai and the offer really helped well. I’ve used all 3 rides and got the benefits to the fullest. Note that you’ll need to choose Visa card as payment option and charge it directly. Once you pay after the ride by authenticating your card with 3D secure code, the cash-back to Olamoney kicks in just in few minutes. Here’s how i paid just Rs.111 instead of Rs.336,

  1. Total paid for 3 Rides: Rs.336
  2. Cashback Received: Rs.225
  3. Effective Ride Cost: Rs.111/3 = Rs.37 per Ride

Cashback to OLA money

I don’t generally put my effort in chasing small cashbacks but this is something i loved doing it as Rs.37 for a ride is indeed a nice deal for about 5 Km in Chennai’s super hot Sun and above all, we don’t need to follow too many rules to avail this. If you travel more often, 20% off with Uber on Standard Chartered credit cards like Manhattan or super value titanium (also on other cards) may be very useful.

    At present card payment option is given to few customers only by OLA. It is not available to me. Only available option is cash or OLA money thru wallet.
    I have screen shot of same in my mobile and there Support FAQ also, but I can not upload image here.

      Infact had similar problems for me too.
      But if i check “ola money” and “payments” tabs and then book the ride, it shows up. Not sure if it works same way for others too.
      And this is on iPhone 7 latest app.
