What are Trip Coins?

Simply put, think of Trip Coins as part of Trip.com’s member rewards program. You typically earn them by booking hotels, flights, and package deals on Trip.com, writing reviews, or sharing your travel experiences on Trip Moments. The Trip Coins you accumulate can be used right away to offset the cost of hotel, flight, and activity bookings—think of them as a kind of cash on Trip.com.

How to Use Trip Coins

You can use Trip Coins to shave money right off your booking—every 100 Trip Coins is worth about AED 3.65 (or the equivalent in your currency). Most bookings qualify, not just hotels and flights; even train tickets, airport transfers, car rentals, and more are eligible. It’s a big win for budget-savvy travelers who love to save.

How to Use Trip Coins

  1. Choose a service: Head to the Trip.com homepage and pick the service you need—hotels, flights, local experiences, or anything else you’d like to book.
  2. Make a booking: After selecting what you’d like to reserve, follow the usual steps until you reach the payment page.
  3. Apply Trip Coins: Before you complete your payment, select the "Use Trip Coins" option. The system will show how many Trip Coins you can currently use and the corresponding discount amount.
  4. Complete your payment: After the system automatically applies your Trip Coins discount, simply pay the remaining amount to complete your booking.
Please note: The exact discount amount may vary slightly depending on current promotions and currency exchange rates.
