Refare is free to use! No savings, no fee – it's that simple!

We take a 25% commission from the savings we secure for you.

For example, if the airfare you purchased was $500 and we negotiated down to $300, the $200 savings appears as a credit in your airlines frequent flyer account. We charge $50 (25% of $200) as our service fee to your credit card.
