How Dipback works
We watch your ticket after you book. When the exact same flight gets cheaper, we recover the difference — your flight, seat, and booking reference never change.
Four things happen. You do the first one.
Forward the confirmation once. From then on it runs in the background — you only hear from us when there's money to come back.
- Forward your confirmationOne email, once. We read the flight details from it.
- We watch the fareChecked around the clock until you fly.
- We file the claimWith the airline, in your name, with the paperwork they want.
- Credit lands in your nameUsually a few days after the claim goes in.
The mechanism
How can you get money back without changing your flight?
Major US airlines dropped change fees on standard economy and above. So when the price of your exact flight falls below what you paid, the ticket can be rebooked at the lower fare — same flight, same seat — and the airline issues the difference back as travel credit in the traveler's name. Dipback watches for those drops and handles the recovery, so the only thing that ever moves is the price.
See it on one route
The same seat, cheaper on another day.
Someone who booked on Sat paid this for the same seat.
After you book, we get to work.
Adding a booking is the last thing you have to do. From then on it runs quietly in the background — you only hear from us when there's money to come back.
What we can watch
Tickets booked directly with a supported airline, on standard economy fares and above. Basic Economy, Saver, and similar "light" fares, award/points tickets, and travel-agency (OTA) bookings aren't eligible — those can't be repriced without the airline's fees eating the saving. We add airlines as we verify their policies.
The mechanism, in more detail
The parts of this that people ask about most, written out properly.
Is the cheaper flight I see the same fare as the one I booked?
A cheaper price on your route is not always your fare. How to tell whether the cheaper flight you see is the same fare you booked, before you chase it.
Does rebooking a flight change my seat, bags or confirmation number?
Does rebooking a flight change my seat? What a same-itinerary reprice usually leaves alone, plus what to check on seats, bags and upgrades first.
Should I cancel and rebook when the price drops? What you risk
Should I cancel and rebook when the price drops? Canceling is not the same as repricing, and the gap between the two transactions is where the risk sits.
