What it's worth to you, after the fee
Welcome: ₹500 off the basic fare on the first MakeMyTrip booking — any sector, any date, any airline — plus a ₹5,000 MakeMyTrip discount voucher against hotels and holiday packages on the first purchase
Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. Everything we can source — the fee, the charges, the migration that put this card in your hand — is above and stands on its own; this card is simply not on the board, not in the calculator, and cannot win a best-of call until ABN AMRO Bank publishes terms we can cite.

3 notes on the card itself: how it is issued · the network variants · why it ranks #907
Why #907 India's first OTA co-brand, and a lifetime-free one: no joining fee, no annual fee, an accelerator ladder that reached 30 points per ₹100 on holiday packages, and airport lounge access thrown in. Carried for the record; both halves of the deal are gone — ABN AMRO left India and MakeMyTrip's card is now issued by someone else entirely.
The take
Of everything ABN AMRO sold in India, this is the card a points reader would actually have wanted, and it is the one almost nobody remembers. The GO Card was a co-brand with MakeMyTrip at a moment when MakeMyTrip was still mostly an air-ticket site, and ABN AMRO priced it at nothing: the bank's last published fee schedule reads Nil against joining, Nil against renewal and Nil against the add-on card. Free for life, in 2008, on a travel card. What it paid was a proper category ladder, and a steep one: 3 GO Miles per ₹100 on ordinary spend, 10 per ₹100 on air tickets bought at MakeMyTrip, 20 per ₹100 on hotel stays and 30 per ₹100 on holiday packages — a ten-fold accelerator on the category the co-brand partner most wanted to sell. The welcome was two-part and unusually concrete: ₹500 off the basic fare on your first booking, any airline, and a ₹5,000 MakeMyTrip voucher against hotels and packages once you had spent once. And it opened a lounge door — "all Clipper Lounges at the domestic and international airports in Mumbai, Kolkata and Cochin as well as at the international airports in Delhi and Chennai", with a snack and a soft drink. The catch is the one that always attaches to a closed-loop currency: ABN AMRO said GO Miles could be "redeemed as cash back into your account" and never published what a GO Mile was worth, so nothing here can be priced. It is also worth reading the fine print on the accelerator — GO Miles accrued only on the BASIC component of a MakeMyTrip purchase, which on an air ticket in 2008 was a minority of what you paid.

what we can and cannot price
Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. A break-even is the spend at which value crosses a fee, and we are short one side of that sentence — so this desk prints no ladder, no crossing and no ₹0 standing in for either. What we can source about this card is under Sources.

You hold this card.
Kept on this device, in your browser. It is never sent to us, never synced, and nothing else on the site reads it yet.
The downgrade
ABN AMRO Bank publishes no document naming a card you can step down to, so we name none — an invented product change is a phone call you would waste. That leaves keep or cancel, and we cannot price either side of it.
If you call to cancel
What the bank offers to keep you is the one fact this desk cannot compute. We are collecting those reports — dated, and only in aggregate — before publishing any: an offer one reader was made is not one you are owed. Called about this card? Tell us what they offered →
The desk publishes subscribable .ics feeds for the dates it knows — offer deadlines, devaluations, expiry audits. Your renewal date is not one of them: only your statement knows it.
What's good

- ₹500 off the basic fare on the first MakeMyTrip booking, plus a ₹5,000 voucher against hotels and packages

Watch out
- WITHDRAWN — ABN AMRO's Indian card book passed to RBS in 2007–08 and the brand has left India; MakeMyTrip's card is now issued by another bank entirely
- GO Miles accrued only on the BASIC component of a MakeMyTrip purchase, not on taxes and surcharges — on a 2008 air ticket that was a minority of the price
- No conversion rate for a GO Mile was ever published, so nothing on this card can be valued
- The free-domestic-ticket offer needed three purchases of ₹2,000-plus a month for three straight months and expired for cards approved after 31 July 2008
- Revolving cost reached 3.5% a month — an APR of 42% — on the last published schedule
- Foreign currency was charged at 3.5%, plus 0.80% from MasterCard on overseas-registered merchants located in India
- The lounges were the Clipper rooms of the period and are not doors this card, or its network, opens today
What these points actually fly
ABN AMRO Bank has not published what this card earns, so there are no points here to fly with — not zero points, and not points that go nowhere: nothing stated either way. The moment a benefit sheet exists we will price whatever it names.

Closed to new applications — existing cardholders keep the card; there is no way in.
You cannot. ABN AMRO's Indian retail and card business passed to the Royal Bank of Scotland in the 2007–08 break-up of ABN AMRO, and the MakeMyTrip co-brand did not survive the move.
ABN AMRO Bank publishes no income or age cutoffs for this card. Blank means blank — we don't invent numbers to fill a grid.
