Price probably jacked up by $1500
Verified they do price Jack.
Will likely be a cap, not sure yet how much
It's live now, can't see a cap anywhere, this seems too good to be true!? Lol
Remember to treat these cashback deals like you might not see the money back. I’d easily choose to book thru another agent if the price was 5% or so cheaper.
I’d rather have 5% in the bank today than hope I get 10% in a few months.
Especially when it is Shopback or TopCashBack
Price is higher than the OTA I usually book from. same date.
OTA?
Online travel agency,like booking.com, Agoda, Expedia
@Save 50 Cent: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_agency#Types_of_agenc…
Online travel agencies (OTAs)
Booking Holdings and Expedia Group, both online travel agencies, are the largest travel agencies on the list of top earning travel companies.[17]
@VincentQQ: Ok sorry.. I thought you came up with it.
@Save 50 Cent: Come on man hahahaha
Depends on the country. Trip.com was the cheapest compared to other sites when I was booking for hotels in China
I've actually found Trip flights to be the cheapest for the last few months.
It's especially the cheapest when you realise they give you points to spend and also free lounge passes.
Can you elaborate on the free lounge pass? They give you lounge pass for flight bookings?
@runamuck: Only when you've made it to the higher levels. They're making it harder by imposing min spend and increasing bookings required from Oct 2024
@firestint: Cheers
Damn it just booked flights to Thailand through Trip a few days ago
Book the next Thailand trip. You got an excuse now.
I hope they can get the 17% back last time.
Shop back is shit!! My last booking didn’t track.
Lodge a claim, as easy as that
It’s not called Trashback for nothing
Last time 17% is good. But 10% for flight is first time.
Would not let me book the hotel without a credit card. Every other booking site a debit card is fine
That's strange. I've used Trip to book hotels a few months ago and had no issues. We don't even own a credit card.
I've used my debit card with them plenty of times, so they definitely accept them.
Not sure why yours wasn't accepted.
I have only booked hotels with them as I've found it's cheaper buying the flights directly via the airline, and fewer issues if anything goes wrong.
did it now my hotel prices jacked up like crazy. rip me
can you book via the app for an extra $20 off?
I believe so, I did that for flights and all transactions got tracked.
hmmm no cap luckily haven’t booked my end of year flights
Useless deal. Just check price in other booking site directly not via Cashback link. They will give you instant discount or even cheaper price if you go through Google map or TripAdvisor which shows all prices from all comparison sites.
I have to disagree, for example I'm looking at Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh flights 22/11 to 6/12 and it's by far the cheapest on the Trip app compared with Google Flights, Cheapflights, Expedia, Skyscanner etc.
Totally agree, last time they had a deal I was excited and they price jacked when you clicked through the link. I ended up using skyscanner and found that Expedia was cheaper for the flight. Really hate it when they price jack.
It may vary based on the route and airline. I compared prices directly with the airline, via Google and on Skyscanner's partner sites.
Trip was the cheapest for the route/airline combo I was looking for (domestic flight) and didn't pricejack when I clicked through.
tracked after 8 hours, and was cheaper than everywhere else even before cashback.
The flight I was looking at went up from $400 to $700 overnight lmao. (profanity) off.
Has the flight gone up on other OTA as well?
Hmm yeh it did actually, guess that's not Trips fault. Will revoke my neg.
Lols appreciate that! Flights are quite volatile unfortunately…
They come up on my credit card app as Australian based with an ABN listed. Which hopefully means not a foreign transaction! Not keen on paying the 3% fee!
Just rebooked a hotel for the Gold Coast. Was about $100 cheaper then my last booking plus higher vashback being %15. Ends up being around 250 less then the last booking. Win for me!
Any ideas what this shopback clause means?
Shopback invalid for:
- Bundle Orders (More than one product in a single transaction)
Does that mean you can only buy one ticket per transaction or do they mean you can only do flights or hotels per transaction?
No it just means the latter, that you can't book a flight and a hotel booking together in one bundle. But you can definitely book multiple tickets in one flight booking.
How many flight transactions can be tracked? I've booked one flight and it was successfully tracked 10% in 2 hours. Now am looking to book a 2nd flight if I can still get the 10% back. Thx all.
I also used app, without any promo code. Did you use a promo?
Dam still cheaper to book direct even factoring in 10%
Anyone know on how they calculate the 10% cashback? My flight ticket is $157 but my tracked cash back only $5.
We calculate Cashback based on the purchase price, excluding:
* Fees
* Taxes
* Service charges
* Booking fees
* Any amounts paid using store credit redemption
* Credit card charges
Thank you!! Geez so many exclusion!
There is more tnc hiding in plain sight.
Didn't track at 10% for flight.
Updated: Ticket raised updated to include the 10% for flight, would change neg but deal closed
Mine tracked but less than 10%, must be due to the exclusions.
Tracked for flights, but incorrect amount. Anyone has any ideas? Going to contact Shopback.
Return flights for 2 passengers: Europe > Sydney
Fare = AU$2,092
Taxes & Fees = AU$1,679
Booking fee = AU$30
Total = AU$3,801
Tracked = $27.20
What did I miss?
It should track correctly once you've raised issue with SB
Tracking correctly now, $209 on the fare!
Uncapped? Can get $500-1000+ cashback on business/First class flights?
