Good upsized cashback on Hotels 15% & Flights 10% (excluding Domestic China) at Trip.com from TopCashback.

What will stop me getting my cashback

  • Cashback is eligible on the base fare component only for flights and excludes all taxes & levies. Cashback is ineligible on children & infant tickets.
  • Cashback is ineligible on use of any codes not approved and posted by TopCashback.
  • Cashback is ineligible on use of gift cards for payment and/or purchase of gift cards.
  • Cashback is ineligible on purchases made via the retailer's mobile app.

What else is essential

  • Cashback is calculated based on the amount paid online at the time of booking. If you choose to pay the final amount at the hotel, cashback will be adjusted up to 20 weeks after consumption of the booking has been validated by the retailer.
  • Trip.com trades in US dollars meaning the purchase amount and the cashback amount tracked may vary due to conversion rates.
  • Engaging with plugins such as Honey, AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole, VPNs, and browsers such as Brave may prevent your order from tracking.
  • You must always return to TopCashback and click the pink cashback button through to the retailer's website for each new transaction. Ensure the TopCashback link is the last one used to visit the retailer's website prior to completing your purchase.
  • Any accounts that engage in fraudulent orders/activities to game/cheat the cashback system will be banned and cashback forfeited.

Good to know

  • Note that cashback approval may take longer than usual if choosing to pay at the hotel rather than at time of booking.
  • Most retailers calculate cashback based on purchase amount excluding GST, other taxes, and delivery fees. Your cashback may report lower than expected due to this.
  • If an order is cancelled / returned / exchanged / modified, it will no longer be eligible for cashback and will be declined in your account.

    Does top cashback do the bs thing that CR / SB do where they artificially jack up prices when booking hotels?

    • Asti on 25/03/2025 - 07:36

      I think it's more the travel website more than the cashback that does this. I've found trip.com doesn't jack up prices if you click through the cashback, but their base price is always a little higher. You should always check though.

      • Averell on 25/03/2025 - 13:50

        Trip.com did jack up price for me :( Haven't been able to find a deal from them last time.

    Booking hotels in japan for October this year.

    Is it eligible?

    NB: You won't get cashback on the taxes and surcharges (which can be substantial part of the airfare), so don't expect 10% on the total amount.

    • Anubizz on 25/03/2025 - 07:19

      I still waiting for my lenovo cash reward, they are the worse of all cash reward apps

      • bob19 on 25/03/2025 - 19:45

        I haven't had any issues with them.

        • trixieb on 25/03/2025 - 19:54

          @Anubizz When was your Lenovo purchase? My order on 5th Nov was paid on 21st Jan, about 2.5 months.

  • Asti on 25/03/2025 - 07:33

    Seeing 10%+ on flights quite frequently now… Wonder if it's a new norm.

    • DraggyX on 25/03/2025 - 12:22

      Don't expect get 10% what you pay total, 10% is for base fare

      • Asti on 25/03/2025 - 16:48
        +2

        Yes, but 10% is still a lot considering I'd rarely see above 4% in the past

  • Eugklng on 25/03/2025 - 07:56

    Any credit card international transaction fees being charged when paying at trip.com?

    • VincentQQ on 25/03/2025 - 08:39

      Not for my Nab and Amex, chosen AUD

      • Eugklng on 25/03/2025 - 12:42

        It’s never about the currency unfortunately. It’s all about where payment gets cleared

    • Major Packer on 25/03/2025 - 09:12

      According to this trip.com charges a fee

    • animasoIa on 25/03/2025 - 11:07

      I'm paying via Paypal, specifically pay in 4, and that seems to not attract international transaction fees (3% going up 3.5% in May for me).

      • chanhoz on 25/03/2025 - 14:28

        pay in 4

        In that case, the merchant is paypal not trip.com so we can't say anything about whether trip.com will attract fee or not.
        Fun fact: if you refund bookings made with paypal in 4, money come back to your paypal balance, not your credit card.

    • firestint on 25/03/2025 - 12:20

      Payments are usually in AUD.

      I had international charges one from Trip.com so feels hit and miss.

    • Poor Ass on 25/03/2025 - 15:00

      with trip.com when paying AUD no for me

      but it does on booking.com if accommodation is overseas

    • happyadventurer on 26/03/2025 - 13:36

      Using my AMEX I didn't get any international fees either for my bookings back in November.

  • zinkle on 25/03/2025 - 08:01

    Is there any cap for flights?

    I'm looking at flights, 10% cashback on base fare would be $500

    • TA4life on 25/03/2025 - 10:10
      +3

      Just be careful. My mate and I just booked a trip to China, total was around $1500AUD. Here we were thinking we would get $150 or so cash back but the base fare was only like $170.00 before taxes

      • DraggyX on 25/03/2025 - 12:23

        Yep, paid over 1k for my flight and get 20 something cashback lol, was expecting over 100 bucks haha

  • Spizz on 25/03/2025 - 11:16

    I would check the base fare before booking and if the saving isnt an awful lot I would personally book direct with the airline rather than through a 3rd party.

    Also Trip.com adds a $15 fee when checking out for flights i believe. They also try to get you to do alot of add ons for service and insurance with themselves.

  • lyoo01 on 25/03/2025 - 12:53

    So if you book tickets for a family including children, do they invalidate the whole cashback or is children's component just excluded? Thanks!

    • trixieb on 25/03/2025 - 13:18

      I asked the rep TA and here's the reply:

      Will track at full sale amount, then a few weeks later the children's component will be removed & cashback adjusted accordingly.

      • VincentQQ on 25/03/2025 - 13:57

        Interesting rule… cannot figure out why they exclude kids.

  • seachange on 25/03/2025 - 13:56

    Damn! Just booked 10 night stay in QLD through Shopback that only had 10% cashback. Bugger

      better off booking Japan than Qld… cheaper and better

      • seachange on 25/03/2025 - 15:42

        I'd love to but I will already be on a road trip around QLD at that time and partner wanted to go to Gold Coast.. I only booked accommodation.

        • Poor Ass on 25/03/2025 - 16:36

          hopefully the beaches are back when you go

          Gold Coast is yuck now

  • Major Packer on 25/03/2025 - 19:52

    Is flight from Hong Kong to Taiwan considered 'Domestic China'?

    • star-ggg on 25/03/2025 - 20:50

      No, those are International China

  • uraha on 25/03/2025 - 22:12

    Managed to find a flight ticket to China that is $50 on the flight part and $500 in taxes and fees. So the 10% cash back would only be $5

  • techmate22 on 25/03/2025 - 23:48

    Anyone's flight purchase tracked yet?

    • techmate22 on 26/03/2025 - 08:19

      Tracked this morning but at 1% instead of 10%…

        Yes, looks like a number of transactions reported with a sale date of March 26 (instead of March 25). Already pinged Trip.com to sort out. Thanks for flagging, and will respond here as soon as I have more info.

  • mba on 26/03/2025 - 08:35

    Anyone have issues with cash back tracking wrong amount for hotel? $660 hotel with 15% cashback tracked at $34, another hotel booked for $550 tracked at $10

    • happyadventurer on 26/03/2025 - 09:42

      Yeah I'm having the same issue. I lodged a support ticket. Be really annoying if they come up with some exclusion as cashrewards and shopback often have 10%

      • Store Reptightarse @ TopCashback AU on 26/03/2025 - 10:01

        Hi @mba @happyadventurer - hope you are all well.

        Can you please confirm. Has the sale amount tracked incorrectly, or the percentage cashback value?

        If it's the first one, are you aware of this term?

        Cashback is calculated based on the amount paid online at the time of booking. If you choose to pay the final amount at the hotel, cashback will be adjusted up to 20 weeks after consumption of the booking has been validated by the retailer.

        • happyadventurer on 26/03/2025 - 10:06

          Thanks for reaching out to us. In my case it appears that the system has calculated it based on the default 5.5%. All my bookings were fully paid at time of booking.

          • Store Reptightarse @ TopCashback AU on 26/03/2025 - 10:07

            @happyadventurer: Perfect. Then this applies. We're already onto it and will update here as soon as I get a response. Absolutely nothing to worry about :)

            • happyadventurer on 26/03/2025 - 10:11

              @tightarse: Sorry you're 'this' link does clearly show what it's linking/referring to. If my booking was fully paid at time of booking I assume it does not need to be adjusted later on?
              Not sure if this is the issue but I booked it yesterday 25 March before the promo ended and I can see that the system says purchase date '26 March'. Could that be the issue?

                @happyadventurer: Yes, that's the issue that Trip.com needs to fix. Even though you booked during the promo, they reported the sale date incorrectly which means they applied the wrong rate. Please leave this with me. You need to do nothing and all rates will be updated as soon as they fix it.

    • chanhoz on 26/03/2025 - 10:02

      I think tax and fees are excluded I think, your booking should show break down of the cost.

  • tryonthis on 26/03/2025 - 10:59

    My flights have only tracked at 1%. Will this be updated to the correct amount later?

    • Store Reptightarse @ TopCashback AU on 26/03/2025 - 12:32

      Please see here :)

  • Eugklng on 26/03/2025 - 12:26

    Paid $500+ for air ticket price which excludes taxes and tracked at $7!?!?

    Edit: Probably should've read previous comments. Looks like a known issues being investigated

    • Store Reptightarse @ TopCashback AU on 26/03/2025 - 12:32

    @trixieb @techmate22 @mba @happyadventurer @tryonthis @Eugklng and others.

    Trip.com (based in Singapore) have acknowledged the issue and are working on a fix as we speak. As soon as all orders are updated to reflect the correct commission, I'll post a new comment here. Apologies on their behalf for the inconvenience, but this will be sorted ASAP. Cheers.

  • jimboner on 26/03/2025 - 21:32

    Thanks @tightarse! My tracked amount has just updated from 1% to 10%

    • Store Reptightarse @ TopCashback AU on 26/03/2025 - 21:33

      Hey buddy. Yep, around 70% of orders updated just after 8PM. Holding off responding until they're all done. Cheers.

    Hi @trixieb @techmate22 @mba @happyadventurer @Eugklng @tryonthis @dt20 and others.

    An update as promised. Please note the correct rates should now be reflecting in your accounts. For those that are yet to receive tracking due to flight tickets not yet being issued, once tracking comes through these may also report at the incorrect cashback rate. If so, please note these will auto-adjust in the next day or two. If you have any other issues or concerns from this promo, please reach out to me directly. Thanks for your patience & understanding. TA.

    • Eugklng on 26/03/2025 - 22:08

      @TA thanks for the update. Just checked and all good!!
