Our aim is to simplify the lives of our customers in every possible way – as they shop, pay bills or seek other services. This partnership is yet another step on this ongoing journey,” said Mahendra Nerurkar, Director, Amazon Pay.
Upon selecting the option, you get familiar queries that you would see when you use BookMyShow for the first time. Users will be asked to select their region, exact zone, and preferred movies then you can select the movie theatre, the time of the show, and cost per seat.
You can pay online using any of the payment options including Amazon Pay balance, Amazon Pay ICICI Credit Card, Amazon Pay UPI and other forms of digital payment.
ICICI Amazon Pay credit card customers can get up to 2% cashback as monthly statement rewards and as a part of the launch offer, Amazon is offering 20% cashback of up to Rs 200 on movie ticket bookings but is valid only for today.
