How to book train tickets via Amazon India?
Amazon India provides users with various perks while booking train tickets. Users will get cashback (10% cashback on the first ticket for regular users and 12% for Amazon Prime users) and won't be required to pay any additional service charge or payment gateway fees. However, the cashback offer is valid for a limited period of time.
Users will be able to book tickets with ease due to the autofill feature and can opt for one-click payment if they choose to use the Amazon Pay balance. The payment can be done via any other digital mode too. Amazon has also set up a dedicated page for this, which suggests that currently, the ability to book train tickets is available via the Amazon India website and the Android app. Users can also scan a QR code present on the page to open the ticket booking feature on their smartphones. The feature will soon be available for iOS users.
