Other Ways to Secure Money

The Trip.com App Advantage

Many discounts are app-exclusive. You earn 30% more Trip Coins when booking via the app compared to the website. Many hotels offer a "Mobile-only" price that is typically 5–15% cheaper. Major events (like the current 3.3 Mega Sale) release 50% off vouchers that can only be redeemed through the app's interface.

Master the "Trip Coins" System

Trip Coins act like literal cash (100 Coins = $1 USD). You can stack these on top of existing promo codes, and can earn up to 120 Coins per hotel review and 200 Coins per attraction review. Adding photos or videos increases the reward. Posting in the "Trip Moments" social community can earn you up to 400 Coins per month. As you move from Silver to Diamond status, your coin-earning rate increases by up to 50%.

Student Discounts

If you are a student (ages 16–35) with a valid educational email or student ID, you can access exclusive student fares, which are often 10% to 30% cheaper than standard economy. These fares frequently include extra baggage allowance for free, which is perfect for international students. You can verify your status through Student Beans to unlock these specific codes.

Bundle & Save

Instead of booking separately, use the "Flight + Hotel" bundle tool. Trip.com claims that bundling saves users an average of 6% to 20% because they use "private rates" that hotels and airlines don't show individually. You can earn $10 per friend you invite to the app (up to a $100 cap). Your friend also receives a welcome bundle of coupons, making it a win-win for both of you.
