Yes, with rates by booking type across hotels, airport transfers, car rentals, and more. Promo codes void it. By Jean Goh, Travel Destinations Editor (https://discover.shopback.com/authors/jean-goh). Published: 2026-08-12. Last modified: 2026-08-13. Yes, Trip.com offers cashback through ShopBack in the US, with each booking type carrying its own percentage rate across airport transfers, hotels and homes, car rentals, and more. Any promo or discount code makes the whole order ineligible, and cashback confirms long after travel. The live per-type rates are on the ShopBack Trip.com page. ## Key facts - Category: Travel - Founded: 1999 - Headquarters: Singapore - Parent company: Trip.com Group - Official site: https://www.trip.com ## What is Trip.com? Trip.com is an online travel agency headquartered in Singapore, part of Trip.com Group, which was founded in June 1999 and traces its roots to the Chinese travel company Ctrip. Through trip.com and its app, US travelers book flights, hotels and homes, trains, rental cars, airport transfers, tours, and attraction tickets across a global inventory, with a strong footprint in Asia-Pacific destinations. Trip.com is owned by Trip.com Group, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker TCOM and on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The group also operates Ctrip, Qunar, and Skyscanner. Trip.com serves travelers in more than a dozen languages and runs the Trip Coins loyalty scheme, competing with Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, and Priceline for US travel bookings. ## What is Trip.com known for? Trip.com is known for booking a full trip in one app: flights, hotels and homes, trains, rental cars, airport transfers, tours, and attraction tickets, with especially deep coverage of Asia-Pacific routes and rail. The Trip Coins loyalty scheme rewards completed bookings for US travelers who book regularly. - Hotel rooms and homes across chains and independents worldwide - Flights on major and budget carriers, strong in Asia-Pacific routes - Train tickets across networks including China, Japan, and Europe - Rental cars through partner agencies at airports and cities - Airport transfers and private rides booked with the trip - Tours, attraction tickets, and eSIM data plans at the destination - Trip Coins loyalty rewards on completed bookings ## Current cashback rate Percentage back by booking type (transfers, hotels, car rentals, and more); see the live rates on ShopBack. Live rate: see the current Trip.com rate on ShopBack. A checked rate appears here once the hourly rate check has fresh data; the binding rate is always the one on the Trip.com page at www.shopback.com. Trip.com cashback on ShopBack is a percentage that differs across many booking types: airport transfers, hotels and homes, car rentals, and other categories each carry their own rate, listed in full on the live ShopBack Trip.com page. Bundle bookings (flight plus hotel), child and infant tickets, add-ons such as baggage and meals, and travel insurance are excluded. Applying any promo, coupon, or discount code makes the entire order ineligible. Cashback confirms after travel, typically about 120 days after the trip. ## How do you save money at Trip.com? Start every Trip.com booking from the Trip.com page on ShopBack, because each booking type carries its own percentage rate across airport transfers, hotels and homes, car rentals, and more. Activation is one click and free, and the cashback is calculated before fees, taxes, service charges, and booking fees. Book Trip.com at the listed sale price without a coupon code. Trip.com is a no-codes merchant on ShopBack, so applying any promo, coupon, or discount code makes the entire order ineligible for cashback. The on-site flash sales, member prices, and Trip Coins rewards already lower the total, and those stack with cashback because they are not codes. Do not hunt for codes: a code voids the cashback. Time bigger trips to Trip.com's deal windows. Black Friday and Cyber Monday in November bring the deepest hotel and flight rates, and Trip.com runs frequent flash sales and app-only price drops through the year. Bundle bookings, child and infant tickets, add-ons, and travel insurance are excluded, and cashback confirms after travel, typically about 120 days after the trip. ## Trip.com deals, discounts and sales: what stacks with cashback? Trip.com deals come in two forms: the discounts Trip.com runs itself (sales, markdowns, clearance) and the cashback rate on ShopBack. A Trip.com sale price stacks with cashback automatically, because cashback is calculated on the discounted price you actually pay. A discount code does not: under the Trip.com terms, any code voids the cashback. So during a Trip.com sale, shop the sale through ShopBack and let the markdown and the cashback combine, and skip codes entirely. This page does not publish a Trip.com deals list of its own; the ShopBack Trip.com page carries the current cashback rate. ## How to earn cashback at Trip.com 1. Start at ShopBack: Open the merchant page on ShopBack (site, app, or browser extension) and click through to the merchant. 2. Shop in the same session: Complete the purchase on the merchant site without visiting other coupon or deal sites in between, so the order tracks to your ShopBack account. 3. Wait for tracking: Cashback appears as pending in your ShopBack account, usually within 2 days of the order. 4. Withdraw your cashback: Once the merchant confirms the order (after the return window closes), the cashback becomes withdrawable to a bank account or PayPal. ## When are the best times to buy at Trip.com? - Black Friday (Throughout November): Deepest hotel and flight discounts of the year on bookings for future travel dates. - Cyber Monday (The Monday after Thanksgiving): Online travel deals continuing the November wave on hotels, flights, and trains. - Trip.com Super Sale (Recurring flash-sale windows through the year): Time-limited flash discounts on hotels, flights, and attractions, often app-only. - Spring shoulder-season deals (Late winter into spring): Lower hotel and flight rates before the summer travel peak across US and Asia-Pacific routes. - Trip Coins rewards (Year round): Loyalty coins earned on completed bookings and redeemed against future stays and flights. ## How does Trip.com compare with alternatives? Trip.com, Booking.com, and Expedia all book travel online for US customers, and each has a distinct strength. The table compares what each does best so you can match the platform to the trip. - Trip breadth: Trip.com: Flights, hotels, trains, cars, transfers, tours, and eSIMs in one app | Booking.com: Stays, car rentals, airport taxis, and attractions in one account | Expedia: Flights, hotels, cars, cruises, and activities in one itinerary - Regional strength: Trip.com: Deep Asia-Pacific flight, hotel, and rail coverage through Trip.com Group | Booking.com: Very large global inventory across more than 220 countries and territories | Expedia: Broad North American and global hotel and package supply - Rail booking: Trip.com: Train tickets across China, Japan, and European networks | Booking.com: Focused on stays, cars, taxis, and attractions | Expedia: Focused on flights, hotels, packages, and cruises - Loyalty program: Trip.com: Trip Coins earned on completed bookings and redeemed on future trips | Booking.com: Genius tiers add member discounts on qualifying stays with no fee | Expedia: One Key earns OneKeyCash shared with Hotels.com and Vrbo - Extras: Trip.com: eSIM data plans and airport transfers bookable with the trip | Booking.com: Airport taxis and attraction tickets booked alongside stays | Expedia: Cruises and shore excursions across major cruise lines ## Is Trip.com legit and safe to shop at? Trip.com is an established global travel platform serving US customers: part of Trip.com Group, which was founded in 1999, trades on the Nasdaq as TCOM, and also operates Ctrip, Qunar, and Skyscanner. Trip.com books flights, hotels, trains, cars, and tours worldwide, with 24/7 customer support in multiple languages. Bookings on trip.com use encrypted checkout, send instant confirmation emails, and display each reservation's cancellation and refund terms before you commit. Refund rules vary by flight, hotel, and train supplier and are shown per booking, and Pay at Hotel options let you settle part of the cost at the property on qualifying stays. Cashback on Trip.com through ShopBack adds no cost to the booking. The reservation is made on trip.com at trip.com prices; ShopBack is paid a referral commission by the merchant and shares it with the member. Because Trip.com is a no-codes merchant, applying any promo, coupon, or discount code makes the whole order ineligible for cashback. ## What are Trip.com shipping, returns, and payment options? Shipping: Trip.com delivers bookings digitally: a confirmation email and booking number arrive right after you book, and the trip appears in your account and app. There is no physical shipment. E-tickets, hotel vouchers, train tickets, and attraction passes are stored in the itinerary for use at the airport, hotel, station, or venue. Returns: Trip.com returns take the form of cancellations and refunds set by each supplier and shown per booking. Flight, hotel, and train refund rules vary, and some rates are non-refundable while others allow free changes before a deadline. For Pay at Hotel bookings, part of the cost may be settled at the property. The exact policy shows before you book. Payments: Trip.com accepts major credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, plus PayPal and other regional options on many bookings. As of 2026-08, Pay at Hotel is offered on qualifying stays. Because Trip.com is a no-codes merchant, applying any promo, coupon, or discount code makes the order ineligible for cashback. ## Terms and exclusions highlights - Each booking type carries its own rate; the full table is on the live ShopBack Trip.com page. - Promo, coupon, or discount codes make the entire Trip.com order ineligible for cashback. - Bundle bookings (flight plus hotel), child and infant tickets, add-ons, and travel insurance are excluded. - For Pay at Hotel bookings, cashback initially tracks on the deposit (or as zero) and adjusts at confirmation. - Cashback confirms after travel, typically about 120 days after the trip. - Fees, taxes, service charges, and booking fees are excluded. ## Trip.com cashback FAQ Q: Does Trip.com give cashback through ShopBack?
