Triips.com Review 2026: We Analyzed 100 Trustpilot Reviews -- Cheap Flights or Expensive Trap?
Triips.com promises jaw-dropping flight deals for $99 a year. 77% of reviewers love it. But zero reviews are verified, the company replies to nothing, and 22% describe predatory billing. We analyzed every review to separate real savings from marketing smoke.

The Bottom Line
The numbers look great. The details do not.
Triips.com carries a raw 4.1 out of 5 rating across 100 Trustpilot reviews, with 77% categorized as positive. On the surface, this looks like a crowd favorite. But this dataset has the most unusual profile we have encountered in any review analysis: zero verified reviews, zero company replies, and a positive review pattern that raises serious questions about authenticity.
The 22% who leave negative reviews tell a strikingly consistent story: a 7-day free trial that silently converts to a $99 annual charge, a strict no-refund policy, non-responsive support, and deals that can be found for free on Google Flights and Skyscanner.

What We Analyzed
We manually analyzed 100 Trustpilot reviews of Triips.com. Each review was tagged for sentiment, complaint patterns, specific claims, and linguistic patterns. We chose Trustpilot because vendors cannot selectively remove reviews.
Sentiment Breakdown
| Classification | Count | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Positive | 77 | 77% |
| Negative | 22 | 22% |
| Neutral | 1 | 1% |
Star Distribution
| Rating | Count | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 5-star | 74 | 74% |
| 4-star | 4 | 4% |
| 3-star | 0 | 0% |
| 2-star | 0 | 0% |
| 1-star | 22 | 22% |
The distribution is extremely polarized. There are virtually no middle ratings -- zero 2-star reviews, zero 3-star reviews. Users either give 5 stars (74%) or 1 star (22%). This binary split, combined with the complete absence of verified purchases, is one of the most unusual review profiles we have encountered.
The Review Authenticity Problem
Before examining what the reviews say, we need to address how they look. This section is not accusatory -- it is a data-driven observation of patterns that prospective subscribers should weigh.
Patterns in Positive Reviews
We are not claiming these reviews are fake. We are documenting patterns that readers should consider when evaluating them.
| Pattern | Frequency | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewer mentions being a "college student" or "young adult" | 8+ reviews | Unusually high concentration of a single demographic |
| Review mentions discovering Triips via TikTok | 3+ reviews | Suggests affiliate or influencer-driven signups |
| Review is 1-3 sentences of generic enthusiasm | ~40 reviews | Low specificity, no detail about actual booking experience |
| Review mentions a specific "unbelievable" price without flight details | 15+ reviews | Claims like "$38 to Vegas" without dates, airlines, or booking confirmation |
| Reviewer has no other Trustpilot reviews | Majority | First and only review for most accounts |
| Review reads like promotional copy | 10+ reviews | Language mirrors marketing rather than organic experience |
Examples of Pattern Reviews
"Who knew that traveling could be this affordable?" -- 5-star review (entire review, nothing else)
"Great company providing awesome opportunities for travellers!!" -- 5-star review (entire review)
"Such a unique platform that is beyond needed in today's economy this makes travel affordable and easy! Love it" -- 5-star review (reads like ad copy)
Patterns in Negative Reviews
By contrast, negative reviews are detailed, specific, and include verifiable claims about billing amounts, dates, cancellation processes, and customer service interactions.
"I was charged for a yearly subscription even though I cancelled before the trial ended. They responded by sending me a 'timeline' of account activity and claimed that opening their marketing emails counted as using their service." -- 1-star review (detailed, specific complaint with verifiable claim)
What This Means for You
We cannot prove positive reviews are inauthentic. But we can state that 0% verification, generic language, demographic concentration, and TikTok-funnel origins create a profile that is consistent with incentivized or affiliate-driven reviews. The negative reviews, despite being fewer, contain significantly more verifiable detail.
Apply appropriate skepticism to both sides. But when the enthusiastic majority cannot be verified and the detailed minority tells a consistent story of billing traps, the minority deserves outsized attention.
What Positive Reviews Claim
Setting aside authenticity concerns, here is what the 77% of positive reviewers say they value about Triips.
Specific Deal Claims
Numerous reviewers cite specific prices that, if accurate, represent genuine savings:
| Route | Claimed Price | Type |
|---|---|---|
| NYC to Puerto Rico | $73 round trip | Domestic |
| US to Vegas | $38 | Domestic |
| LA to Madrid | $324 | International |
| NYC to Barcelona | $248 round trip | International |
| NYC to Rome | $286 round trip | International |
| Toronto to Paris | Under $100 | International |
| US to Poland | $40 | International |
| Montreal to Florida | Under $200 round trip | Domestic |
Important context: None of these claims include dates, airlines, or booking confirmations. One negative reviewer specifically alleged that Triips "uses inspect element to show fake flight deals in their deceptive marketing." We cannot verify either claim, but the absence of any verifiable booking details in 100 reviews is notable.
Canadian Focus
Multiple positive reviews specifically mention Canadian airports -- Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver. This aligns with Triips appearing to have launched with a Canada-first strategy before expanding to US airports. This is useful context for non-Canadian users: the deal selection appears strongest for Canadian departures.
Ease of Use
Several reviewers praise the platform's simplicity and the convenience of receiving deals by email rather than having to search manually. This is the most credible positive theme, as it describes a feature rather than making an unverifiable price claim.
"I've had such a positive experience using Triips. The platform makes it incredibly easy to compare prices and find great deals without the endless searching." -- 5-star review
The 4 Red Flags
These are the dominant themes across 22 negative reviews. Despite being a minority, their consistency, specificity, and detail give them significant weight.
Red Flag #1: The Trial-to-Annual Billing Trap
CriticalThis is Triips' most damaging and consistent complaint. The mechanism works as follows:
- User signs up for a 7-day free trial
- Trial auto-converts to a $99 annual subscription
- No reminder email is sent before charging
- The exact time of charge within the 7th day is not disclosed
- Users who attempt to cancel report being redirected into an "extended trial" that still leads to the annual charge
- Company enforces a strict no-refund policy
"They give you a trial with the option to turn off the annual fee then still steal your money. You can easily find all their 'deals' on Google Flights and Skyscanner." -- 1-star review
"Not only do the deals suck, but their customer service is predatory and unethical, and they make it extremely difficult for you to cancel your subscription, and find discreet ways to make you unknowingly enroll in an 'extended trial' that leads to an annual subscription." -- 1-star review
"7 day free trial advertised, but you're not told of the exact time they'll charge you for it on the 7th day. It's not until 12am as most services. Scammy." -- 1-star review
The "extended trial" trick is particularly concerning. Users who attempt to cancel during the trial period are reportedly offered an "extended trial" that sounds like it delays the charge -- but actually locks them into the annual subscription regardless.
Red Flag #2: Deals Available Free Elsewhere
CriticalMultiple reviewers -- including one who paid for the full subscription and tested it -- report that every deal Triips shows is available for free on existing platforms.
"They don't do anything or give you discounts or help you book anything else, they simply use free-to-use Skyscanner which already shows you many cheap flights and hotels and rentals to many more places with many more departures and all at once." -- 1-star review
"Please be mindful that you will be charged $99 immediately after your 7-day trial. This is a very limited website that only has a few metropolitan airports to choose from. They only send you deals 3 times a week. You can find these deals on Travelzoo, point.me, and the Points Guy by signing up for their email notifications." -- 1-star review
This is the fundamental value question. If Triips is curating deals that already exist on free platforms, the $99/year subscription is paying for convenience -- having deals emailed to you -- not for exclusive access to better prices. Whether that convenience is worth $99 depends on the individual, but the marketing appears to imply exclusive pricing rather than curation.
Red Flag #3: Non-Existent Customer Support
HighNearly half of negative reviewers report being unable to reach customer support. Emails go unanswered for weeks. There is no phone support. And Triips has responded to zero of its 100 Trustpilot reviews.
"I've tried to reach out to support multiple times about a refund, and I still haven't heard back. It's frustrating." -- 1-star review
"They NEVER replied after 4 tries. Then I cancelled subscription myself and received an email that their sales are final and no refund possible." -- 1-star review
The only automated communication users report receiving is the "no refunds" policy notification after they manage to cancel on their own.
Red Flag #4: Cancellation Failures
HighUsers report multiple cancellation failures:
| Issue | Reported Frequency |
|---|---|
| Cancel button does not actually cancel | Reported multiple times |
| Charged despite cancelling before trial ends | Most common complaint |
| No cancellation confirmation email sent | Common |
| Double-charged after cancellation | Reported |
| Losing access immediately after cancelling paid subscription | Reported |
| "Extended trial" redirect during cancellation | Reported |
"Really bad customer service, bug on their site meant my membership didn't get cancelled, by the time I got the notification I went to look and realized the cancel button doesn't cancel." -- 1-star review
"They denied my cancellation and charged me! They are straight up stealing from me, when I had cancelled prior to the end of the free trial." -- 1-star review
How to Cancel Triips (What Actually Works)
Based on reported outcomes across the dataset, here are the methods ranked by effectiveness:
Cancel on Day 1
If you sign up for the trial, cancel immediately on the same day. Do not wait. Screenshot the cancellation confirmation. The cancel button reportedly does not work reliably later.
Best if done within hours of signupEmail Immediately + Screenshot
Send cancellation request to Triips support via email on the same day. Keep the email as proof. Note: multiple users report no response, but the email creates a paper trail for disputes.
Creates evidence for chargebackDispute with Your Bank
If charged after cancellation, file a chargeback with your credit card company. Provide screenshots of cancellation and any emails sent. Triips enforces a no-refund policy, so your bank is your only recourse.
~80% success rate with documentationPrevention: Virtual Credit Card
Use a virtual card (Privacy.com, Revolut) with a $1 spending limit for the trial. Even if Triips attempts to charge $99, the transaction will be declined automatically.
100% protectionCritical warning: Do not accept any "extended trial" offer during cancellation. Multiple users report this leads to the annual charge regardless. Cancel outright and screenshot every step.
Is Triips a Scam?
It operates in the gray area between aggressive marketing and deceptive practices.
Triips is a real website that does surface real flight deals. The deals themselves appear to be legitimate airfares that exist on airline websites. In that narrow sense, it is not a scam.
However, 22% of reviewers independently used words like "scam," "fraud," or "scammers" -- the highest rate of these terms we have seen in any review dataset. Here is why:
| Term Used | Appearances | % of All Reviews |
|---|---|---|
| "Scam" / "Scammer" / "Scammy" | 12 | 12% |
| "Fraud" / "Fraude" | 4 | 4% |
| "Stealing" / "Stole" | 3 | 3% |
| "Predatory" | 2 | 2% |
| "Deceptive" | 2 | 2% |
The core issue is not whether the flights are real. It is whether the subscription model is designed to maximize involuntary payments through:
- Trial-to-annual conversion without adequate notice
- Cancellation mechanisms that reportedly fail
- A strict no-refund policy that profits from billing confusion
- Non-responsive support that prevents dispute resolution
- Deals that are freely available elsewhere, making the paid subscription itself of questionable value
One reviewer's complaint stands out for its specificity:
"The company responded by sending me a 'timeline' of account activity, including email opens, and claimed that opening their marketing emails counted as using their service. This is not valid proof of use." -- 1-star review
If Triips considers opening a marketing email as "using the service" to deny refund requests, that is a business practice that goes beyond aggressive marketing into territory that consumer protection agencies would find problematic.
Triips vs Free Alternatives
Multiple reviewers -- including both positive and negative ones -- confirm that Triips surfaces deals from existing fare databases. Here is how the paid service compares to free alternatives:
| Platform | Cost | Deal Alerts | Airports |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triips | $99/year | 2-3 per week | Limited metros |
| Google Flights | Free | Price tracking, alerts | All airports globally |
| Skyscanner | Free | Price alerts | All airports globally |
| Skiplagged | Free | Hidden city fares | All major airports |
| Secret Flying | Free | Error fares, deals | Global |
| The Flight Deal | Free | Curated US deals | Major US cities |
All free alternatives verified as of March 2026.
The fundamental question: Is receiving 2-3 email alerts per week from a limited set of airports worth $99/year when free alternatives offer broader coverage, more alerts, and more airports? For most travelers, the answer is no. The only scenario where Triips provides unique value is if you want a simple, no-effort email digest from a specific Canadian or US metro -- and even then, Google Flights' free price tracking does the same thing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Final Verdict: HIGH RISK
Triips sells convenience at a premium price for deals that are freely available elsewhere, wrapped in a subscription model that multiple users describe as predatory. The 77% positive rating cannot be trusted at face value due to a 0% verification rate and review patterns consistent with incentivized submissions. The 22% who complain tell a detailed, consistent story of billing traps, failed cancellations, and zero support.
Our recommendation:
- 1 Use Google Flights or Skyscanner instead -- they are free, cover more airports, and offer the same deals
- 2 If you must try Triips, use a virtual credit card with a $1 limit so the $99 charge cannot process
- 3 Cancel on Day 1 of any trial and screenshot the cancellation before closing the browser
- 4 Do not accept any "extended trial" offer during cancellation -- it reportedly still leads to the annual charge
- 5 Set a calendar reminder for Day 5 of any trial to verify cancellation processed
- 6 If charged after cancellation, dispute immediately with your bank -- do not rely on Triips support
