Google is now offering cashback to users if its prediction for the cheapest flights turns out to be incorrect. The company's search engine is known for providing users with the lowest airfare deals, but occasionally, the price may change after booking. Google is now providing a solution to this problem by offering cashback to users.
How it Works
Google Flights will now offer users a $100 credit towards future bookings if the cheapest fare prediction it provides turns out to be wrong. The credit can be used to book flights and hotels through the Google Travel portal.
To be eligible for the cashback, users must have booked the flight through Google Flights and must have received a confirmation email from the airline. If the price of the flight drops after booking, Google Flights will automatically notify the user and offer the cashback.
The program is currently available only for flights within the United States, but Google plans to expand it to other regions soon.

Benefits for Users

Firstly, it provides peace of mind, knowing that if the predicted cheapest fare is not accurate, users will still receive some compensation. Additionally, the credit can be used towards future bookings, which makes it a great incentive for users to continue using Google Flights.
