What You’ll Get with Thrifty Traveler Premium
Thrifty Traveler Premium is your ultimate travel savings tool. This year alone, we’ve already sent 1,000+ flight deal alerts — including over 500 award alerts to redeem your points and miles!
Our team of travel experts finds and sends:
- Cheap domestic and international flight deal alerts, like $79 roundtrip fares to Chicago, $198 roundtrip to Hawaii, or $381 to Iceland and back
- Award alerts for deals bookable with credit card points and airline miles, like deeply discounted Delta One redemptions to Tokyo from 79,000 SkyMiles or Aer Lingus business class to Dublin from 45,000 points
- Instant text message alerts for mistake fares and rare “unicorn” deals
- Discounted first and business class fares
- Upgrade to Premium+, and you’ll also get two or three weekly alerts to book hotels with points from programs like Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Marriott, and all the major transferable credit card points.
These aren’t last-minute deals, either. We send alerts for travel up to 12 full months out, giving you time to plan, save, and score the best deals. Our team is searching 24/7 for the best unadvertised sales, mistake fares, and points deals. When we find a deal from your airport(s), you get an instant email alert to book directly with the airline or hotel.
You can tailor your settings to receive alerts only from the airports you want, and we cover over 220 U.S. and Canadian airports — more than any other service.

Hi!
Quick note,
I noticed the number off says 30% off, but the text right above the prices says “With half off, your first year of deals costs just:”
Hi Jeremy, thanks for flagging that! This promo is for 30% off and the “half off” mention has been removed. Sorry for any confusion there!
