Give the Gift of Cheap Flights with a Thrifty Traveler Premium Gift Card

Looking for the perfect no-shipping, hassle-free gift for the traveler in your life? We've got just the thing.

Instead of giving friends and family a pair of socks or a bland gift card (again…), give the travelers in your life the gift of cheap travel next year with Thrifty Traveler Premium, our flight deal alert service. We'll send them alerts for the cheapest domestic and international fares as well as award fare alerts to use points and miles for 2025 and beyond straight to their inbox – with up to $250 (or much more) off normal prices on each and every flight!

With our Thrifty Traveler Gift Cards, you can gift your favorite traveler a year of cheap flight alerts and help them travel more. And through Dec. 31, you can give a year (or two!) of Premium flight deals for 25% off!

 

 

Heads up, current Thrifty Traveler Premium subscribers: You can't apply these promo codes to your existing membership (but remember: your annual fee is locked in for life!)

 

Give the Gift of Cheap Flights This Year

Whether you're preparing for Christmas or on the hunt for a birthday gift, why not give someone the gift of travel? These gift cards make it easy. They're the gift that keeps giving … cheap flight deals all year!

Just buy a gift card for one year and your favorite traveler can activate it. You can either email them their gift automatically or print out a code for them to enter when you're ready for the big reveal. These gift cards unlock a year (or two) of cheap flight alerts, which your favorite traveler can activate on their own, then tailor to get flight deals from only their home airport(s) – and since we find deals from more than 200 airports, we've got them covered.

The best part? We find flight deals up to 11 months in advance, and we're already seeing awesome deals for travel into fall 2025! That means your loved one or travel buddy can take advantage of these crazy cheap flight deals and plan for future travels.

This is not a subscription, so your gift will not renew: The flight deals will stop when their year (or two – whichever you buy) is up.

 

Flight Deals for 2025 Are Here

Here's just a taste of the flight deals we've found and sent to Thrifty Traveler Premium members recently.

Is Hawaii on your pal's bucket list, but flight prices have been sky-high? We are constantly on the hunt for jaw-dropping fares to Hawaii, like this recent deal from under $200 roundtrip:
 

 

Or maybe they've got their hearts set on a trip to Europe next year? They're in luck: We keep finding dirt-cheap fares to Europe for 2025, like these sub-$400 fares to Paris for a trip this fall or winter.

 

 

Want to give your friend deals to use their points and miles, too? Thrifty Traveler Premium is different: We send members cheap cash fares as well as award alerts. That includes deeply discounted Delta SkyMiles flash sales, like this trip from New York City (JFK) to Milan (MXP) and back for under 24,000 SkyMiles – a fraction of what Delta typically charges.

 

 

But we also send Thrifty Traveler Premium members business and first class deals. Booking a lie-flat business class seat on Singapore Airlines – one of the best carriers on the planet – to get to Europe next year for just 50,000 points is an incredible deal. 

 

 

We even send Thrifty Traveler Premium members text alerts for the rarest, most time-sensitive deals of all. We call them Unicorn Alerts, and they don't get much rarer (or better) than a one-way to London-Heathrow (LHR) in Virgin Atlantic's chic business class seats for just 21,000 points! 

 

 

And no, these aren't just deals from major cities! We find flight deals from 200+ U.S. and Canadian airports – more than any other flight deal service, and members can get alerts from as many (or as few) airports as they want. Small town U.S.A. to Italy for under $600 roundtrip? Yes, really!

 

 

This is just a sneak peek into what we're finding for travel this year or next. A full year of Thrifty Traveler Premium flight deal alerts will send your lucky traveler cheap fares for travel alerts every day.

FAQs About Thrifty Traveler Gift Cards

How can I give my favorite traveler this gift?

You've got two options.

You can either schedule an email (at any time you'd like) to your recipient with a prompt to get signed up when the time comes or simply get a promo code to share with them, so they can sign up on their own.

Is this a subscription?

No! This is a one-time gift for your favorite traveler – you won't be on the hook for paying for multiple years of your pal's flight deals.

Once activated, your recipient will get a year (or two) worth of Thrifty Traveler Premium flight deal alerts. When that year comes to a close, we'll email them to see if they'd like to renew their membership for another year.

 

Can current Thrifty Traveler Premium members gift themselves a membership?

No. Current members can only buy gift cards for new members. There's no way to apply this gift card to an existing membership.
