Rates move without notice, so treat anything more than a couple of days old as worth re-checking at the portal before you shop.
How to get Trip.com cashback, step by step
- Open Hoopla Doopla's Trip.com page and click through to Trip.com from there. That click is what ties the order to your account, so start every Trip.com order this way rather than from a bookmark or a search result. The rate as we last read it was 6.1%.
- Shop in that same tab and session. Don't leave for a coupon site and come back, and turn off any other cashback or coupon extension before you check out: the last click before the order is the one that gets credited, and another extension's click can take it.
- Check out in one go, using only codes Hoopla Doopla itself shows for Trip.com. A code from somewhere else can void the cashback on many stores.
- Wait for it to confirm. Usually posts within 10 days of purchase, then becomes yours after 90 days. Returning part of the order, or cancelling it, changes what gets paid.
- Get paid. Hoopla Doopla pays by: Check, Venmo or PayPal. Minimum: $5.00 in approved cash back per period, for PayPal, Venmo and paper checks alike. A balance under that carries over to the next period. Timing: Every three months. Payments go out by the end of January, April, July and October to everyone who qualifies.

How these Trip.com numbers were produced
- Read directly from each portal's own merchant page, never copied from another comparison site.
- A rate we could not read is reported as unread. It is never converted into a zero, and a failed check never overwrites a previously good number.
- "Up to" and new-customer-only rates are labelled as such and are not allowed to win the top spot over a lower rate that everyone actually gets.
Trip.com cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for Trip.com cashback right now?
Hoopla Doopla, at 6.1%. That's the rate a returning shopper gets, which is how the table ranks: an "up to" ceiling or a new-customer rate never takes this spot over a lower rate everyone gets.
How long does Trip.com cashback take to pay out?
On a click-through portal there are two waits, one after the other: the portal has to confirm the order with Trip.com, which mostly tracks Trip.com's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Trip.com's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
