That explains why I kept getting updates for a flight that was cancelled!

I have the paid version and they definitely don’t watch your booking in GDS.

And so do I. I like it a lot, yet I have the same issue as you. I generally begin planning complicated personal travel 11 months in advance. By the time travel rolls around, I've canceled and rebooked many parts of the trip. I have to go in and manually delete all the relevant bits. I've tried forwarding emails containing the cancellations but to no avail.

TripIt - Monitor emails switch off every time
 

Since several weeks, I can not monitor my gmail adress with TripIt. The settings turn itself off automatically. I would put it back to on, autorize TripIt to access Gmail. This would work 12-24 hours then the next time I look at the settings it is off again.
Anybody with the same issue ?

A couple of questions for those who subscribe to TripIt Pro -- I'm a long time Free user considering upgrading:

Does the automatic fare change tool allow you to specify the minimum difference? I've run into a couple of other tools that hard code it to the carrier's change fee, which renders it less useful for me.

Is the loyalty tracking functionality good enough to bother with? I'd be particularly interested in something that helps me keep an eye on infrequently used accounts that might expire.

Thanks in advance!

Really wonder how long they can hang on. I’ve been using it for many years to build itineraries, never upgraded to Pro, even though they offer me free temporary upgrades whenever I go on my trips.

but Kayak gives you alerts for free with the same or better ability to populate itineraries from forwarded emails.

only reason I use TripIt is that I like the printed format better than the Kayak product. It prints in fewer pages, though I just save to PDF and use that.

but with free sources for flight info. who would bother to pay?

I pay because I like the delay and gate information etc.
I'm not sure if Kayak really works this well. I think I tried it once, but didn't really like it.
The only thing I don't like about TripIt is that the app is so slooooooooooow.

Kayak is pretty noisY with alerts emails. I believe they will text or even push notifications but I didn’t set it that way.

not sure alerts are always useful. One time I had a 2-3 hour departure delay and must have gotten a half dozen alerts with several revised estimated departure times. I was sitting in the lounge so the only advantage in that case was not going up to look at the screens repeatedly or asking the lounge staff the updated times.

TripIt is owned by Concur which is owned by SAP. Many companies have TripIt Pro included in their contract for using Concur for their travel booming and expense reconciliation. I have been paying for TripIt Pro for years though may not need to now that my company provides it.

I find the free version, plus other tools, is sufficient for my needs. If it wasn't for the substantial ownership outlined in the post by yosithhezet , I would probably have upgraded just to support them!

Good for them that they got bought out. Again I see little value in their paid product.
