How FarePromise gets you money back when fares drop.
Book a flight or hotel through FarePromise, and — on the Pro and Max plans — we keep watching the price after you book. If it drops, the difference comes back to you as travel credit. No forms, no rebooking, no phone calls.
Money back after you book — not just a price alert
Most tools tell you about prices before you buy. FarePromise keeps working after you book: we lock in the price you saw, monitor it around the clock, and turn any qualifying drop into credit you can spend on your next trip.
We watch your price around the clock
After you confirm a booking, FarePromise checks your flight and hotel prices every hour and compares them to the price you saw when you booked.
A qualifying drop becomes credit
On Pro, drops of $10 or more become credit; on Max, drops of $5 or more. Pro monitors each booking for 30 days; Max keeps watching until 24 hours before you travel.
You get the difference as travel credit
On Pro you claim each credit within 14 days; on Max credits land automatically. Redeem your balance from $50 on Pro or $25 on Max.
Redeem as a travel gift card
Spend your credit as a travel gift card from brands like Hotels.com, Delta, Airbnb, and Visa, unlocked by booking your next trip through FarePromise.
