Figures on this page are as of and are re-verified on a fixed cadence. Cashback rates are not baked into this page; they change too frequently, so the linked store pages carry the current numbers.
ShopBack in 90 seconds
ShopBack is a cashback and rewards platform founded in 2014. Members start at ShopBack, click through to a partner store or travel site, buy as usual at the same price, and earn a percentage back as real money once the order confirms. It is free to use, funded by the commission a merchant pays ShopBack for the referral, not by member fees.
Cashback stacks on top of a promo code (funded by the merchant) and your card rewards (funded by your card issuer), so one booking can earn on three layers funded by three different parties. New members can create a free account on ShopBack and start earning on their next trip.
What the Travel Planner does
The Travel Planner is a place inside ShopBack to plan a trip without opening a dozen tabs. It pulls verified partner travel sites into one view so you can compare options side by side, then book through the partner you choose and earn cashback on top of that booking.
It compares verified partners only. Trip.com is available across all markets for flights, hotels and packages. Pelago covers tours, attractions and activities. Dida and Musetrip are recently integrated partners that widen hotel and trip coverage. Because the Planner books through the ShopBack network, cashback applies to the price you pay and lands as real money after the trip confirms.
How cashback fits the plan
Cashback lowers the number that actually leaves your account. The useful way to read a trip budget is effective price: the quoted cost of hotels, flights and activities, minus the cashback ShopBack pays back after the booking confirms, is your real spend. The Travel Planner surfaces the partner options; cashback then applies on top of whichever you book.
Rates change too often to print in a guide, so live cashback figures stay on each store page rather than here. The Travel Planner and the store pages both live inside ShopBack and on the market sites, so the comparison and the live rate never separate.
Where to open the Travel Planner
The Travel Planner and every partner travel site sit inside ShopBack. Each market runs its own site and its own set of live rates: the United States at shopback.com, Australia at shopback.com.au, and Singapore at shopback.sg. Pick the market you book from, since availability and cashback are set per market.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Travel Planner compare?
It compares verified partner travel sites in one place: Trip.com across all markets for flights, hotels and packages, Pelago for tours and activities, and the recently integrated Dida and Musetrip for wider hotel and trip coverage. You weigh the options side by side, then book through the partner you choose.
Does the Travel Planner cost anything?
No. It is free to use. ShopBack is funded by the commission a merchant pays for a referral that ends in a sale, not by member fees, so planning and booking through it costs nothing extra.
Is the Travel Planner in the app?
The Travel Planner lives inside ShopBack alongside the partner travel sites. Each market has its own site with its own live rates: shopback.com for the United States, shopback.com.au for Australia, and shopback.sg for Singapore.
Does cashback add on top of a Travel Planner booking?
Yes. Booking through a verified partner in the Planner earns cashback on the price you pay, credited as real money after the trip confirms. Cashback also stacks with a merchant promo code and your card rewards, funded by three different parties.
Which travel partners are verified in the Travel Planner?
Trip.com across all markets, Pelago for activities, and Dida and Musetrip, which were recently integrated. The Planner surfaces these verified partners rather than every travel site on the internet.
How does effective price work for a trip?
Effective price is the quoted cost of hotels, flights and activities minus the cashback ShopBack pays back after the booking confirms. That difference is your real spend, which sits below the sticker total whenever you book through a partner on the network.
Where do I see the live cashback rate for a travel partner?
On the partner store page inside ShopBack, which carries the current rate. Rates change frequently, so they stay on the live store pages rather than in this guide, and the Planner links out to them.
Do I need to book through the Travel Planner to earn cashback?
You need to start at ShopBack and click through to the partner before booking, which the Planner does for you. Once you check out at the partner, cashback tracks against your account and clears to real money after the trip confirms.
