All the current reviews do not exaggerate. Worst experience I've ever had buying a plane ticket (I bought the tickets since they were referred through Google Flights without first reading other customer reviews which was my error - And shame on Google for referring them).

Here goes….I noticed that the transaction did not show up on my credit card a week after I purchased the plane tickets from BuyMyTrip so I called them. The agent informed me that my flight was canceled due to the amount being reversed by my bank (which was incorrect) and I had to purchase new tickets online again and absorb whatever difference.

I told them this was absurd as I have a Visa eligible in any country and there is no transaction amount limit locks that would reverse a transaction. The latest update I received from the bank was an automated message stating the transaction went through and I also received an email from BuyMyTrip that my flight was confirmed including E-Tickets.

I gave BuyMyTrip the benefit of doubt and called my bank to speak with the fraud/security department and they informed me that the transaction made it through with no fraudulent blocks but the vendor (BuyMyTrip) "reversed" it two hours after the transaction was made.

The bank security team suspects that since my credit card was from a smaller Canadian Bank (Laurentian Bank), the vendor did not recognize the name and reversed the transaction. Whether it was reversed manually or automatically by BuyMyTrip; the bank did not know.

I called BuyMyTrip back to see if we could salvage this situation and was transferred to the manager I was previously talking to that told me to call my bank but like a broken record, she kept insisting it was my bank that reversed the transaction resulting in them canceling my plane tickets. Her statement was incorrect as my bank cybersecurity /fraud detection team said otherwise.

It was very upsetting that BuyMyTrip refused to take accountability for their system not recognizing my bank and canceling my plane tickets without any notice. By fluke as I was going through my personal finances, I had to randomly call them to find out that they canceled my plane tickets. Thankfully I was able to find out on my own a week before my flight rather than go through this nightmare during check-in at the airport.

All in all, BuyMyTrip is a pure scam with ZERO customer support and empathy and their employees take ZERO accountability for their errors such as:

1) Reversing the transaction resulting in my plane tickets being canceled

2) Not notifying me that my plane tickets were canceled.

3) Having ZERO solutions to salvage the situation caused by their own system error.

4) Refusing to provide solutions when the root cause of the issue was identified.
Their blanket refusal to support a potentially paying customer is mind-boggling. DO NOT EVER BOOK THROUGH THIS SITE.

Disgusting experience, company, work ethics, work culture and all around nightmarish experience. Purely horrendous. In the end, I found plane tickets for about the same price using skyscanner with zero hassle or complications. STAY AWAY FROM BUYMYTRIP!

Very easy checkout process. No hassle. Thank you.
