Booking with Tripster: tickets, hotels, cancellation rules and cashback
Tripster is a booking site for attraction tickets, shows, hotels and vacation packages in North American destinations, from Orlando and Las Vegas to Branson, Hawaii and Toronto. It is not a shop with parcels, so the questions that matter are different: which cancellation rules apply, how refunds work and what you are charged in. This guide goes through them and shows how to add cashback.
What you can book and where
The home page sorts destinations by region: the Northwest, California, the Southwest, the Midwest, the Northeast, the Southeast, the Smoky Mountains, Florida, Hawaii and Canada, with Niagara Falls Ontario, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria. Besides tickets for theme parks, aquariums and shows, you can book hotels, condos and vacation homes, and bundle tickets with a stay. Tripster says it connects to each attraction or hotel directly, so most bookings are confirmed instantly. If you can add an item to the cart, it is available.
Tickets and vouchers
After booking you receive an e-ticket or travel voucher by email with the booking details, date, number of tickets and order number. It can usually be shown on a phone, though some activities want a printed copy, and the voucher instructions say so. Infant and child rules vary by venue, so look under Ticket Types or Know Before You Go on the product page.
Prices, fees and currency
Prices come from the activity or hotel partner and are guaranteed at the moment you complete the purchase. The shop states that it adds no hidden fees, and required taxes or service fees show in the cart before you pay. Charges are generally in US dollars, or Canadian dollars depending on the product location. If your card is in another currency, your bank may add conversion fees. Some hotels charge resort or incidental fees at check-in, which the product page lists.
Payment
Tripster accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express, plus debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo. Prepaid cards are not supported. Tripster gift certificates can be applied at checkout, and qualifying purchases can be split into installments with FlexPay. All money is collected at the time of purchase, and charges appear as Tripster on your statement.
Cancellation and refunds
Every product sets its own rules, and the product page says whether a ticket is refundable, partly refundable or not refundable, together with the deadline. Refundable items can be cancelled before the cutoff, and non-refundable items cannot be changed or cancelled. Change or cancel in your account under Order History. Eligible cancellations are credited to your Tripster account first. If you cancel less than 90 days after the original charge, you can ask for the money back to your original payment method instead. Unused credit expires 12 months after the charge date. Tripster lists refund times of 5 to 7 business days in its purchasing policy and 2 to 5 business days in its FAQ. If a show or attraction closes or is cancelled, for example because of weather, Tripster works toward a prompt refund.

Cashback
Open the Tripster page at daily cashback, which shows the current cashback (up to 4%). Current offers are listed there, and we check them every day. Press the shop button and book in the same visit. In your free account the cashback is open first and confirmed once Tripster has reported the booking. A cancelled booking reduces the cashback for it, and a code from another site can cost you the cashback.
