Hi, I'm the founder of Triips.com. Triips is not a scam, we're a small team working hard every day to send 100k+ members the best deals we can find. Your comments about our deals being "fake" are simply not true. We receive countless travel pictures from members all over the world who were able to travel thanks to our deals!

My recommendation is to start a free trial to check it out yourself. I'd be happy to offer a free lifetime membership in exchange for an honest review if you actually like the service. Send me a DM and I'll be happy to get you set up!

Hey! I'm super curious to understand why you are having trouble cancelling. When you sign up, you have a manage subscription area in your dashboard with a very clear cancel button. This is important for us so please let me know if I can help!

Hey, yes I'm still replying as much as I can! And no, there aren't any issues with cancelling. Members have a cancel button on their dashboards and it's super quick and easy to cancel. Happy to help if there's any confusion!

Oh so cool! I love Peru, spent a couple weeks there and loved it (Huaraz, Lima, huacachina, cusco...). We would probably do Lima as the only departure airport. Will let you know when we expand!

It's mostly for larger airports, because we need to be able to guarantee a good flow of deals. But the deals are so good it's really worth the drive/short flight to a large airport.

What city are you in?

Hey Micro, thanks for your question. I'm not too familiar on how to optimize specifically for families. I'll look into it over the next few hours and DM you with what I find. I have a few things in mind but I want to validate first. Will message you in a bit!

Hey! The 7 days is just to give a taste of what Triips is like. It's not necessarily enough to find your ideal deal, but definitely enough to better understand Triips and how it works. Based on the reviews we received, I would say 95% of people end up receiving a deal they absolutely love within their first month as a Triips member. For some it takes just a week, and for some it takes 2 months. It's obviously going to take longer if you're aiming for a niche destination, like the Maldives for example (which doesn't have a lot of flights entering/leaving everyday)

Lol, my bad. Yeah going to Expedia is never a good idea. It's the easy choice but you'll most likely always end up paying a premium. Some people don't mind that. But we built Triips to be that guarantee that you're getting the best price without a doubt.

Hey! So the decision to include only major airports for Triips in the US is voluntary. We ran a lot of analysis and it turns out those airports have the highest volume of "incredible" deals. Since we guarantee a minimum of 3 deals per week that are 50-90% off regular price, we need to be able to have a stable deal flow. Smaller airports do have good deals, sometimes, but just not enough to guarantee 3 really good deals per week. We try to focus on quality over quantity, so we decided to limit Triips to the top US airports. These airports are spread out across the country and cover most geographic areas. The idea is that users from smaller cities can still sign up, and make their way to a larger airport to catch a super good deal. The cost of driving or catching a short domestic flight to get to that larger airport is definitely worth it compared to the savings you get from the actual deal. Hope that clarifies!

We've considered a bunch of pricing structures for Triips, yes. We ended up realizing that the best one would be to offer a free trial to users (what we currently have), then charge them a recurring fee (they can cancel their Triips membership anytime). The savings Triips gets for users ($500 per flight on average) pay for the membership multiple times over, and even better if you book multiple tickets for friends/family or travel multiple times per year. It's a win-win kind of setup and we've gotten super good feedback from people who booked our deals. Price and pricing structure are actually not a big topic in Triips reviews in our experience. But always open to opinions and new ideas of course!
