The referrer earns Trip Coins — about £10 per friend's completed flight or hotel booking, up to ten friends. Trip.com is part of the Trip.com Group, the world's largest online travel company; UK flights are ATOL-protected under licence 11572. ## Rewards - Referrer: £10 — ≈1,200 Trip Coins per friend's completed flight or hotel booking (≈£2 for a train), up to ten friends; credited after the trip is taken ## How it works 1. Join Trip.com through the link or with invite code GS8U7R — the invite attaches automatically. 2. Download the app and register a brand-new Trip.com account (you must register in the app to claim the Traincard). 3. Both you and the referrer receive a 30-day Traincard — 4% off UK National Rail bookings made on Trip.com. 4. Book a flight, hotel or train; a completed flight or hotel booking releases about £10 in Trip Coins to the referrer (about £2 for a train), once the trip is taken. ## Eligibility New Trip.com customers aged 18+. You must register a brand-new account in the app via the invite to claim the Traincard. Trip Coins credit to the referrer after a friend's trip is taken, not at booking; up to ten friends per period. ## FAQ **Is the Trip.com invite code active in 2026?** Yes. Using invite code GS8U7R (or the link), a new UK customer registering in the Trip.com app receives a 30-day Traincard — 4% off UK National Rail bookings made on Trip.com. We re-check the link daily and the terms monthly. **What does a new customer actually get?** The 30-day Traincard: 4% off UK National Rail bookings made on Trip.com, capped at 20 bookings and £200 saved a month. Occasional homepage welcome banners add flight or hotel discounts on top — check the in-app referral screen for the live offer. **Are Trip.com flights ATOL-protected?** Yes — Trip.com is the UK booking agent for flights and packages and holds ATOL licence 11572, so qualifying bookings appear on your ATOL Certificate. Hotel-only and train bookings sit outside ATOL, so for large outlays pay by credit card for Section 75 cover. **What are Trip Coins worth?** Trip Coins are loyalty currency, not cash, redeemable against future bookings at roughly 100 coins to US$1 (about £0.75–£0.80). The referrer earns about 1,200 coins (≈£10) per friend's completed flight or hotel, and each coin batch carries an expiry shown in the app. **Where does the Traincard work?** Only on UK National Rail booked through Trip.com — not on the LNER, GWR, Trainline or Avanti apps. Season tickets are excluded, but it stacks with Railcards and Trip.com promo codes. Buying more Traincards extends the duration rather than the percentage. **When do the referrer's coins credit?** After the friend's trip is actually taken — not at the time of booking — and for up to ten friends per period. Plan around that timing if you are relying on the coins. ## Full review Trip.com is the consumer brand of the Trip.com Group — the world's largest online travel company by revenue, and the owner of Skyscanner — so this is a referral with serious infrastructure behind it. It is an **evergreen invite-and-earn** scheme rather than a one-off discount: the new joiner gets a rolling rail discount, and the referrer earns loyalty currency as friends travel. The joiner's reward is modest in pure cash terms, which is what caps its score, but the offer is dependable and ATOL-backed. ## What's on offer, and who gets what Two distinct rewards sit inside this one programme. The **new joiner** receives a **30-day Traincard** — 4% off UK National Rail bookings made on Trip.com. The **referrer** earns **Trip Coins**: roughly 1,200 coins (about £10) for each friend's completed flight or hotel booking, or about 240 coins (£2) for a train booking, for up to ten friends. We never headline the referrer's coins as a joining bonus, because they are not what the person clicking the link receives. ## The new-customer Traincard, explained The Traincard gives **4% off UK National Rail** booked through Trip.com for 30 days, capped at **20 bookings and £200 of savings a month.** It is genuinely useful if you commute or travel by train, and it **stacks with Railcards** and Trip.com promo codes. Two things to know: it only applies to rail booked **on Trip.com** (not via the LNER, GWR, Trainline or Avanti apps), and **season tickets are excluded.** Buying additional Traincards extends the window rather than increasing the discount. To claim it you must **register a brand-new account in the app** through the invite — registering on the website won't attach the Traincard. After that, you can book on either the app or the website. ## Trip Coins: the referrer's reward Trip Coins are **loyalty currency, not cash.** They redeem against future Trip.com bookings — flights, hotels, trains, car hire, transfers, attractions — at roughly **100 coins to US$1** (about £0.75–£0.80). The catch worth flagging: a referral's coins **credit only after the friend's trip is taken,** not when they book, so there is a lag between the booking and the reward. ## ATOL protection and the big-booking caveat Flights and packages booked through Trip.com are **ATOL-protected under licence 11572,** which means they appear on your ATOL Certificate and you are covered if the airline or package fails. **Hotel-only and train bookings are not ATOL-covered,** so for an expensive standalone hotel it is sensible to pay by credit card to keep Section 75 protection. ## Where the Traincard works, and doesn't To restate the boundary plainly, because it trips people up: 4% off, UK National Rail only, **through Trip.com's own booking flow.** It will not apply if you book the same train on an operator's own app, and it will not touch season tickets. Within those limits it is a clean, repeatable saving for 30 days. ## What we checked We verify this against **Trip.com's own Invite & Earn programme** and re-check the live terms monthly with a daily link test. Because the joiner's reward is a percentage discount rather than cash, we describe exactly what the Traincard does and does not cover, instead of implying a flat bonus.
