Thrifty Traveler prices going up: Lock in savings now for a lifetime of access
If you regularly read TPG, you will remember seeing our many deal alerts. Thrifty Traveler is one of the companies we regularly go to to find flight deals.
Thrifty Traveler's top Premium+ flight deal alert service bundle is going to get more expensive starting April 1. The price will increase from its current pricing of $124.99 to $149.99 a year.
"First-time subscribers who sign up beforehand can lock in both flight and hotel deals (for a limited time) at $124.99," the company told TPG. "Existing Premium flight deal members can add Hotel Alerts to their subscription for just $24.99 a year before the price increases. And thanks to our lifetime price guarantee, all subscribers will lock in those prices for life!"
To take advantage of a subscription before prices jump, just use this Thrifty Traveler link.
According to Thrifty Traveler, here are just a few of the deals sent to subscribers in the past few years.
- Domestic round trips regularly under $200 (or even under $100) for trips across the country
- Nearly 30 award deals to help members redeem their points and miles, like a Delta SkyMiles flash sale to Costa Rica from 16,000 miles round-trip and excellent Qatar Airways Qsuite availability to the Middle East or the Maldives in 2025
- An unprecedented amount of business-class award space to get to Europe in lie-flat seats last summer, from wide-open Air France-KLM Flying Blue awards to seats in United Airlines' Polaris cabin for 53,000 MileagePlus miles to seats in American Airlines' business class for 62,000 AAdvantage miles
Here's an example of a deal from Thrifty Traveler, which alerted members to a wide-open Air France-KLM Flying Blue deal using just 50,000 miles each way (before prices went up earlier this year).
If you've been considering a subscription to a deal alert service, now might be a good time to act before prices go up.
