TLDR: I’m fanboying for Junova because it uses AI to claim $$ credit when an airline ticket drops below the price I’ve paid for it
This Bloomberg article basically sums up why I keep pushing Junova on you all: Bargain Flights on Busy Routes Face Squeeze Due to AI Pricing. From the report: artificial intelligence is enabling carriers to change seat prices more quickly by weighing dozens of variables in real time, helping capture more revenue while shrinking the pricing gaps that once allowed travelers to find bargain fares.
There are several products that automatically track the flights you’ve booked (once you submit them) and them claim flight credits for you if the price drops. This works on US flights for the major carriers. Of these I’ve chosen to use Junova because
a) I know the founder but am not an investor in the company or receiving anything additional for posting about it
b) It has worked really well for me so far across three airlines (Delta, American, United)
c) The business model makes sense to me – there’s no subscription fee or payment upfront. It basically charges your credit card 25% of what value it claims for you. Example, let’s say it gets me $100 flight credit on United. I should then expect $25 charge on my credit card. This seem fair.
So far I’ve saved $3,000+ on tickets for me and my family in less than a year. And the people using my referral link have saved $13,000+. If you use my referral link we each get $25 credit [eg in the United example above your credit card wouldn’t get charged]. I like when people use my link not so much for the $25, but because it allows me to see the total amount of money my friends have saved which is cool. But whatever, use a generic link if you want. I rather everyone just arm up against the airlines!
