This is a scam

This is a scam. I’ve been trying to redeem a Wowcher/ credit note since January. Any option I ask for they tell me it’s not available. Been dealing with “Zoe Williams” who is the most unprofessional agent I’ve ever come across.

Excellent deal must book with them

Hi Team, Peter Williams was an excellent agent who offered us an excellent deal for 2 families to Algarve Portugal. He was very helpful, understood what holiday plan I was looking for and helped by giving us additional days with no additional cost. I would recommend the travel holiday agency to everyone who is looking for a great deal.

I have booked 2 holidays with Prime

I have booked 2 holidays with Prime. Both times I have been presented with multiple options that have allowed me to choose what flights and hotels best suits my needs. I have had excellent customer service from both Paul and Zoe, who were happy to sort me out 2 bargain holidays. I will definitely be booking again soon for our next city break!

So far so good

So far so good, booked a trip away to DisneyLand Paris through Wowcher. Redeemed easily and as said Prime Holidays called me within the 48 hours to confirm bookings. Zoe was very helpful over the phone and changed dates to make it better suited to us. Was sceptical after seeing many bad reviews but all good from me so far :)

Professional and easy experience!

I booked a trip through Woucher for a trip to Poland and it was through Prime Holidays. After an initial chat and discussions about what options I could have for my trip it was all organised and the details sent over to me. The trip went so well and everything was seamless from the airport, transfers, hotel and excursions. Thanks so much for the professional service!

Friendly and patient

Really patient and calm service from Deepika when booking my holidays as I had lots of questions , worries and just wanted to make sure everything was perfect for my fiancés 30th trip away . When I had the confirmation email through , I noticed the hotel was far out of Rome, and Deepika was happy to change this for me to a more centra, location . Thank you fir your time , patience and professionalism x

The service has been exceptional

The service has been exceptional. I needed to change one of my airline tickets the day before I travelled. Zoe from customer service went above and beyond to get it changed. She also managed to get the extra fee waivered! I was treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. Completely professional and very friendly. They have gained a loyal customer!

Great Company - Thank you Anna!

The company originally gave me stopover flights with a 9 hour layover, however Anna helped me to find direct return flights at no extra cost. Thank you Anna for turning what could have been a bad experience to a fantastic one!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Terrible experience with this back street tin pot company. Booked via Wowcher which I will also never use again. Took my money and have not responded to my emails, never answer their phone. Absolutely shocking level of customer service. I personally found Deepika to be rude and dismissive and Ben Wayne’s never responds to emails. I have reported them to my local police for fraud and also to Action Fraud online. The case number is NFRC240106423418.

Date of experience : 28 November 2023

Absolutely 5-star service from start to finish!

Deepika from Prime Holiday has been extremely helpful and tentative in helping me confirm my holiday booking which I acquired through Wowcher. Even though I was hard to get hold of, Deepika continued to get in touch and helped me confirm this within a few minutes. Very professional service and also advised me of possible upgrades to increase the time I spend in Rome. Excellent! I will be back again. Thank you.

The best Portugal trip we had!

Such an amazing trip booked by Chris via Wowcher which included flights and hotel. We had a great experience with this company and will be booking with them in our upcoming holiday. Thank you Chris and the team.

I struggled to get through to prime…

I struggled to get through to prime holidays, I tried calling and emailing. About week later, I tried calling again and was informed I’d get a call back from Deepika. She was friendly and helpful however, informed me that my holiday (purchased via wowcher) included several indirect flights… Needing to stay over at Dublin for hours on end- and the flight times weren’t great. She helped with this and gave me a better option which cost £39 extra per person. The price still seemed reasonable, therefore we went ahead. Deepika was very nice on the phone and sorted our holiday in the end.

Date of experience : 19 January 2024

**Booked using wowcher** After struggling to find a time to call our holiday to Portugal was organised quickly and easily by Dorothy. She was super helpful in getting the best flight times and hotel. It will cost more to play around with timings and include hotel transfer but since the wowcher is so cheap the overall price is still really great. Make sure to haggle a little bit and you'll get the best deal possible. Overall would highly recommend!

Date of experience : 21 December 2023

We booked this holiday direct with…Prime Holidays

We booked this holiday direct with Prime Holidays after seeing the Wowcher deal which they price matched. After reading all the reviews we thought we’d been scammed as the confirmation email didn’t have a booking reference or flight numbers. After a stressful 2 days of making calls not receiving call backs I eventually spoke to Peter who e-mailed me all the vouchers I needed. I also spoke to Anna who very patiently spent over 30 minutes talking me through the verification process so I could manage the booking myself. We have in the end got a great deal to Rome thanks to Peter and Anna.

Date of experience : 15 January 2024

Sympathetic service

Paul and Zoe have been absolutely fantastic. They have been sympathetic when I inadvertently made an error. Although the cost was higher than expected I am satisfied with the service I have received and I am expecting an improved experience. Their service was timely and allayed my anxieties. I don't normally go abroad so I was nervous throughout but they put me at ease. They have been so helpful. I am looking forward to this holiday with my family. Thank you Paul and thank you Zoe

Paul at Prime was so helpful in booking out…

Paul was so helpful in booking out holiday. He has great knowledge and his service is brilliant. Paul even went out of his way to call me to check if I was happy with the deal he had sent. I would highly recommend Paul and Prime Holidays! Thanks again.

However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money .

What does Allianz Travel Insurance cover?

Allianz single trip plans, allianz annual/multi-trip plans, which allianz travel insurance plan is best for me, can you buy allianz travel insurance online, what isn't covered by allianz travel insurance, is allianz travel insurance worth it.

• Annual or single-trip policies are available.
• Multiple types of insurance available.
• All plans include access to a 24/7 assistance hotline.
• More expensive than average.
• CFAR upgrades are not available.
• Rental car protection is only available by adding the One Trip Rental Car protector to your plan or by purchasing a standalone rental car plan.

Allianz Travel Insurance is provided by Allianz Global Assistance, an insurer that operates in 35 countries and serves 40 million customers in the U.S. The company offers several types of travel insurance plans depending on your needs.

Travel insurance will help protect you if unexpected events affect your vacation. Whether you’re looking for a comprehensive plan or emergency medical coverage only to supplement the travel insurance you have from your credit cards , Allianz Global Assistance offers plenty of options.

Allianz trip insurance plans fall into two categories: single trip and annual/multi-trip plans. We evaluated several single trip and annual/multi-trip plans to help you figure out which policy makes sense for you.

Depending on what type of coverage you’re looking for, Allianz offers several different travel insurance options. Allianz’s plan choices fall under single trip or annual/multi-trip plans.

Single trip plans are designed for individuals who are leaving their home, visiting another destination (or destinations) and returning home. These travel insurance plans are the most comprehensive and provide benefits like trip cancellation, trip interruption and medical coverage. 

Annual/multi-trip plans are designed for those who like to take a lot of little trips throughout the year as well as for business travelers. Because the coverage period is longer, these plans are more expensive.

Some of these plans include medical coverage only while others also provide more comprehensive travel insurance perks. There’s coverage for business equipment as these plans are geared toward work travelers.

Allianz offers five travel insurance plans for single trips, including a plan that's mainly focused on emergency medical coverage.

The OneTrip Cancellation Plus plan is geared toward domestic travelers who are looking for trip cancellation, interruption and delay coverage but don't need post-departure benefits like emergency medical or baggage loss. This plan is Allianz’s most affordable option.

OneTrip Basic, Prime and Premier are three comprehensive travel insurance plans.

OneTrip Basic is the most economical plan and offers trip cancellation, interruption and delay benefits along with emergency medical and baggage loss.

OneTrip Prime provides all the benefits of the Basic plan but with higher limits, a few extra coverage areas and complimentary coverage for children 17 and under when traveling with a parent or grandparent.

OneTrip Premier offers the most coverage, doubling almost every post-departure limit of the Prime plan with more covered cancellation reasons.

If you don't need pre-departure trip cancellation and interruption protections or you already have coverage through a premium travel credit card , the standalone OneTrip Emergency Medical plan may be a good choice. The plan mainly provides emergency medical protections along with some baggage loss/delay benefits.

Allianz single-trip plan cost

Here's a look at the cost of an Allianz travel insurance policy for a one-week, $1,500 vacation to Croatia in August 2020 taken by a 30-year-old from Texas.

The OneTrip Premier is the most expensive plan and provides the highest level of protection, especially for emergency medical events.

However, if you’re OK with lower limits on emergency medical, a OneTrip Prime or Basic plan could be a more appropriate choice. These costs represent a range of 3.4%-7.5% of the total cost of the trip, which is in line with typical costs of 4%-8%, according to the U.S. Travel Insurance Association.

Allianz offers four different annual/multi-trip plans.

AllTrips Basic is suitable for those who would like emergency medical coverage while abroad but don't need trip cancellation and interruption benefits. The AllTrips Prime, Executive and Premier plans provide an entire year of comprehensive travel insurance benefits.

The Executive and Premier plans offer various levels of trip cancellation and interruption benefits. The Executive plan is specifically designed for business travelers since it offers protection for business equipment.

Allianz annual/multi-trip plans cost

Let's look at an example of an annual Allianz travel insurance plan that starts in July 2020 for a 50-year-old from Illinois.

Coverage under these plans is offered for trips up to 45 days in length.

The AllTrips Executive plan costs significantly more than the other plans; this is mainly due to higher trip cancellation coverage, emergency medical and business equipment protections. The Executive coverage amount for trip cancellation can be increased beyond what is quoted here, driving that plan's price up to as much as $785.

If you’re not concerned with pre-trip cancellation benefits and don’t need the increased level of medical coverage, the Basic plan is the most affordable option.

For trips longer than 45 days, the AllTrips Premier plan might be a better choice as it offers coverage for up to 90 days. Using the same search parameters but with 90 days of coverage per trip, the cost of the annual plan is $475.

Choosing the right plan for your trip involves understanding what type of coverage you will want while you’re abroad.

If you have a premium travel card (e.g., the Chase Sapphire Reserve® ): These cards often offer some trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage, so you may not need a plan that offers all the same coverage. In this case, getting the OneTrip Medical plan might be enough.

If you’re going on a trip and returning home: OneTrip Prime, Basic or Premier are good options to choose from while offering different levels of coverage.

If you’ll be going on multiple and longer trips: the AllTrips Premier plan might be best as it provides insurance benefits for trips up to 90 days in length. The remaining three annual AllTrips plans cover multiple trips, up to 45 days.

If the coverage provided by your card isn’t adequate, you don’t have credit card coverage or you didn’t pay for your trip with that credit card: In these instances, it's best to choose a comprehensive plan depending on how much coverage you need and for how long. Consider one of the single trip or multi-trip plans.

» Learn more: Is travel insurance worth it?

Travel insurance plans have a lot of exclusions that you need to pay attention to so you know exactly what type of coverage you’re getting. Here are some general exclusions you can expect:

High-risk activities: Skydiving, bungee jumping, heli-skiing, and other types of high-risk sporting activities that the insurer deems unsafe.

Intentional acts: Losses sustained from intoxication, drug use, self-harm and criminal activity.

Specifically designated events: Epidemics, natural disasters and war are specifically mentioned in the policy as exclusions.

It's important to note that exclusions may vary based on the policy and where you live, so it's always best to review the fine print to ensure you’re clear about what is and isn’t covered.

Allianz has been offering insurance for more than 25 years. The company is well established and offers numerous single and annual travel insurance policies to fit many different needs.

Allianz travel insurance plans offer a wide array of benefits including (but not limited to): coronavirus-related coverage, trip cancellation, interruption, emergency medical coverage and transportation, baggage loss/damage, baggage delay, travel delay, change fee coverage, loyalty program redeposit fees, 24-hour assistance and many more benefits. Each plan is different, so you’ll want to look at the specific plans you’re considering to know exactly which benefits you’ll receive.

No, Allianz doesn't offer the Cancel For Any Reason optional upgrade. Review the policy details of the Allianz plan you’re considering to ensure you’re comfortable with the list of covered reasons. For example, the loss of a job can be considered a covered reason, but wanting to cancel a trip because you’re afraid to travel isn't.

Most often, you will need to file a claim with the insurer after you’ve incurred costs. If the claim is approved, you will receive a reimbursement. In other instances (e.g., covered baggage delay), the insurer will pay you a fixed amount per day and you won’t need to submit receipts.

Allianz Global Assistance offers several good travel insurance plans to choose from. If you’re looking for a travel insurance plan for a vacation, a single-trip plan is your best bet. 

If you’re a frequent traveler or take lots of business trips, a multi-trip plan could be the way to go. If you have a travel credit card, look at what travel insurance benefits you may already have so you don’t duplicate your coverage .

Prime Time Healthcare Travel Nursing Agency Review 2023

• Last Updated: April 18, 2023

The mission of Prime Time Healthcare travel nursing agency is to provide healthcare employees with an agency that prioritizes nurses’ goals and needs .

That’s why the company has an all-around staffing solution for:

• Travel nursing
• Per diem nursing
• Temporary to permanent nursing
• Permanent nursing placements

Prime Time Healthcare has more than 15 years of experience in recruiting all kinds of healthcare professionals. This is why they excel at both employee retention and customer service.

If there’s one thing travel nurses at Prime Time Healthcare can be sure of, it’s that they won’t just be another number to call when a facility needs a position filled. 

Table of contents

Work with a premium-level agency, 1. referrals, 2. excellent pay, 3. great client facilities, 4. paid travel, 5. excellent range of benefits, why choose travel nursing with prime time healthcare.

Prime Time Healthcare travel nursing agency caters to nurses’ long-term needs and helps them achieve their nursing career goals.

Luckily, the agency is now large enough and has an expansive network to ensure the job security of their staff. However, they’re still small enough to pay attention to every single nurse who signs on with them. 

Essentially, Prime Time Healthcare wants to gather the highest-quality healthcare providers and connect them with the facilities and patients that need them the most.

This means Prime Time Healthcare travel nursing agency only works with the most elite healthcare professionals.

Unlike some agencies that claim to be premium-level but fall short in practice, Prime Time Healthcare proves its mettle with:

• Expansive compensation packages
• Prestigious client facilities
• Unique benefits
• Recruiter dedication to nurses

Pros of Prime Time Healthcare Travel Nursing Agency

There are several benefits to working with Prime Time Healthcare travel nursing agency. They include:

• Excellent Pay
• Great client facilities
• Paid travel
• Excellent range of benefits

5 Advantages of Travel Nursing with Prime Time Healthcare

Let’s first look at the benefits of working with Prime Time Healthcare.

We’ll talk about 5 of them here.

If you’re a Prime Time Healthcare travel nurse that wants to make some additional money and you have a lot of professional connections, you can always recommend another professional to the agency.

When they come to work for Prime Time Healthcare and complete 13 weeks on assignment, you’ll earn a $500 bonus!

Plus, unlike many other travel nursing agencies , referrals are limitless. This means you can start referring your best friends and colleagues today.

While adventure and travel are essential parts of the travel nursing lifestyle , none of it is worth it or feasible if the pay isn’t decent.

Luckily, Prime Time Healthcare more than follows through in that regard. In fact, most of their nurses earn above-average pay compared to ordinary nurses. You’ll even receive a couple of great secondary perks.

While this isn’t the only thing you should consider when choosing whether to apply for a job, it’s certainly a vital deciding factor. You’ll be happy to know that Prime Time Healthcare doesn’t skimp out when it comes to its rates. 

Another crucial factor for any travel nurse is the quality of facilities they have access to through their travel nursing agency.

In this regard, Prime Time Healthcare is an excellent choice. This is because they offer an immensely varied experience.

If you want to learn what it’s like to work for some of the most prestigious urban healthcare facilities in the country, you’ll have access to those locations.

However, if you want to know what the nursing infrastructure is like in smaller, rural areas, they’ll be able to find postings for you just as easily.

Wherever there’s a critical staffing shortage, Prime Time Healthcare connects nurses and top-notch facilities of all kinds.

This is a great opportunity for travel nurses. They get the chance to work in all types of departments and with all nursing specialties .

If you want to obtain further skills and experience, Prime Time Healthcare is a sound choice. 

The whole point of travel nursing is to get expert nurses to short-staffed facilities that urgently need them. Prime Time Healthcare realizes that constantly changing assignments can be a huge hassle for nurses.

Sure, the opportunity to travel across the country and live in many places is fun and intriguing. However, Prime Time Healthcare knows that the industry standard is paying for their nurses’ travel expenses and living arrangements.

That’s why they provide agency housing. They also provide housing stipends in case nurses want to deal with their own living arrangements. 

Apart from competitive pay and practical housing solutions, Prime Time Healthcare also gives all the standard benefits to their travel nursing staff. This includes:

• 401(k) matching
• Life insurance

There are different coverage levels for all of these which nurses can pick from, including family coverage for spouses and kids. 

Prime Time Healthcare is a fantastic option for nurses just starting their traveling journey. It’s also a great fit for industry veterans looking for a new travel nursing agency.

The pay, referral bonuses, and plentiful assignment options make Prime Time Healthcare a top pick.

eDreams Prime Review: Unlimited Discounts On Flights, Hotels & Car Rentals

When it comes to travel planning, nothing feels better than securing a deeply discounted flight or hotel.

You do your research.

You juggle at least 12 different browser tabs, each crammed with copious amounts of information.

And after hovering your finger gingerly, hesitantly for a few seconds, finally you click that big “book now” button. Ohhhhh yeahhhhhh, so satisfying. 

You might not think twice about the companies behind each of those websites or apps. They are just a window to help you shop. End of story. 

This is the era of commoditized travel.

But a product as complex, intricate, and personalised as travel can never be fully distilled down to a virtual brown box the way Amazon does it.

But that won’t stop me from trying to score the best deals and save as much money as possible. In my popular article about finding cheap one-way flights , I included strategies like booking at the right time and subscribing to dedicated newsletters. It’s all about understanding the industry dynamics so you can best navigate those to your advantage.

I never stop looking for new ways to make travel more affordable. I’m here to help you, after all.

Recently I came across a relatively new concept in the travel industry, a travel subscription for an online travel agent (OTA), called eDreams Prime . The premise is pretty simple – pay a flat fixed annual rate for access to the lowest possible flight prices and hotel offers.

Sounds promising.

So, I lifted the lid and dug through the nuts and bolts to find out if this subscription is good value for you. Here’s the answer.

What is eDreams Prime & How Does It Work?

Let’s start at the beginning.

eDreams ODIGEO, Europe’s largest flight retailer, is one of the world’s leading online travel agents and owns several brands (including eDreams ). If you live in Europe, chances are you’ve heard of them.

Founded in 1999, eDreams now serves 18 million customers per year, selling flights, hotels, car rentals, activities, and travel insurance.

In 2017 they launched the travel industry’s first subscription program of its kind, eDreams Prime . Membership has grown strongly, and as of early 2022 more than 2 million people have signed up. That’s really impressive considering the challenges faced by the travel industry in recent years due to the pandemic.

eDreams Prime offers members the following benefits:

• Discounts on flights (this varies by flight, but all flights are eligible)
• Discounts on accommodation (up to 50% off)
• Discounts on car rental (up to €40 off)
• Access to an exclusive customer service hotline (24 hours a day)
• Discounts can be used for your entire travel group (up to 9 people)

Before you even think to commit to the subscription, you can see the discounted prices on the website.

Best of all, you can get access to the discounts without paying a cent upfront. All customers get a free 30-day trial. If you don’t want to keep the subscription going, just cancel before the due date . No risk.

Members also gain exclusive access to Amazon-inspired “ Prime Day ” deals periodically throughout the year (each time lasting 72 hours).

But I know what you’re thinking.

Why should I pay for a subscription when I can get cheap flights using an aggregator like Skyscanner, Momondo, or Kayak? They do all the hard work and provide me with the cheapest prices around.

Well, that’s a very good question and the short answer is “it’s complicated”. I’ll explain.

Related reading: Is eDreams Legit & Reliable?

Lifting the Lid on Online Travel Agents (OTAs)

This quote sums up the situation with OTAs… 

"Competition brings out the best in products and the worst in people" - David Sanoff

Due to the rise of flight and hotel aggregators, who compare online travel agents side-by-side, OTAs have been under pressure to provide the lowest possible prices to customers. Most customers just look at the big price figure and make a purchasing decision solely based on the apparent total price. This is commoditized travel, after all.

There are razor-thin profit margins on reselling flights – sometimes OTAs have to sell at cost-price or perhaps a dollar or two above their cost to entice a paying customer. They also pay the aggregator for bringing the customer to their front door.

It’s a tough business.

OTAs have some big costs:

• Developing and maintaining the platform (servers aren’t cheap)
• Security and fraud prevention (dodgy credit card transactions abound on the Internet)
• Customer support (someone to answer the calls and emails if you have a question)
• Backend office – negotiating deals with suppliers, marketing, accounting, management, etc.

They have to sell a lot of flights to keep the lights on.

Having booked many, many flights over the years I know that not all online travel agents are made equally. When it comes to customer support, it can be night and day. There are even smaller unreliable OTAs that take your money and never actually book the ticket with the airline, or the airline mysteriously “cancels” your ticket – and when you ask for a refund, they drag it out and you might never get the money back.

OTAs with questionable tactics feed a lower flight price to aggregators and then bump up the price when the customer navigates to their website. This can be hidden (in exchange rates), nominal (just a few dollars higher than what you were expecting), or blatant (a message saying the price is no longer available and get bumped to a much higher rate).

I’m looking at you, HutchGo.

I almost fell for their trick once, lured in by the price that was too good to be true. On TrustPilot  89% of their reviews  are 1 star for very good reason. As a demonstration for this article, search for a flight on Skyscanner and clicked through to their website, only to find a popup saying the price has changed… with a price increase by 39%. Ouch!

Skyscanner allows HutchGo (and other similar players) to stay on their platform even though they are aware of these games. Why? Because Skyscanner gets paid every time a customer clicks and makes a purchase. How does HutchGo make a profit? By jacking up the price and hoping some customers won’t notice. Oh, and by cutting back on customer support staff. Good luck getting a reply to an enquiry!

This kind of behaviour is not respectful to the customer, and it’s not sustainable for larger, more dependable OTAs who try their best to run an ethical business within a murky ecosystem. So how to get around this?

eDreams is turning the travel business upside down. Rather than play games with the customer and nickel & dime them, just ask for a flat, transparent fee and in return give them exactly what they want. Cheap flights and dependable support without shady tactics.

eDreams Prime gives the OTA dependable, sustainable revenue and reduces reliance on aggregators. Most travellers are not loyal to a specific brand but just follow whoever’s got the cheapest price. A commitment to a subscription changes this dynamic and encourages consumers to make their next travel booking with eDreams directly.

The first mover’s advantage is that few customers will likely pay for multiple travel subscriptions, so it will be harder and harder for competitors to copy the eDreams strategy.

How Much Can You Save?

Firstly, just looking at the bottom line can be dangerous. Why? Flight aggregators like Skyscanner, Momondo and Kayak, link out to whoever will give them a big fat commission. And as I pointed out, some OTAs give data feeds to aggregators that are deliberately out of line with the “real” price given to the customer during checkout.

My piece of advice… treat any flight quotes from an aggregator with a big pinch of salt. At least half of them (from my research) are not legit. Sometimes more.

According to eDreams, the average Prime saving for a flight €149 or less is €20. This goes up with more costly flights, at €300-499 saving around €40. When I did over a dozen tests side-by-side with competing OTAs I found the savings to be on the milder side, between 2-5%.

Since I started investigating eDreams Prime, it’s become clear to me that their business model is shifting toward driving as many of their customers onto the annual subscription as possible. That means their “prime” prices are closer to everyone else’s “normal” prices, and then non-members will be paying a premium for simply not joining up. A cynical person could look at this as just another game with the customer. But I see a prudent and gutsy forward-thinking strategy forging into new territory to bring transparency and accountability in an industry that has been greatly lacking.

What you save with eDreams Prime is not just the ticket price. In fact, it’s actually the least important part to me. You really save what matters most - your  sanity  and  time . Anyone who has attempted to travel via air during the COVID-19 pandemic (and I used the word “attempted” deliberately) will know that flights get cancelled or rescheduled more often than ever before. 

Dealing with understaffed support teams from that dodgy OTA you used just to save 2 dollars doesn’t feel like much of a bargain right now. Spending hours on hold just to speak to a human who barely understands what you’re saying is not going to get that flight re-routed. At least not before you pull your hair out.

Now the regret starts to sink in.

You should have booked with eDreams when you had the chance.

Well, as the prophet of travel, I’m speaking to you now. Make the change today to avoid heartache tomorrow. 

Ok, I’ll dial down on the drama and intensity. Let’s keep things moving.

What I Like

There’s a lot to like about eDreams Prime and their platform in general:

• Use the discounts on up to 9 travellers (good for groups and families)
• Every flight can be discounted – yep, 100% of them.
• You can book either via the eDreams website or mobile app . Prime discounts are attached to your user account, as long as you’re logged in.
• Prime discounts can be stacked with other promotions (for example, use “APP10” code for €10 off when you book via the mobile app, or if you don’t complete a flight booking within a few hours you may receive an email with a unique €10 discount).
• eDreams website is super slick – user-friendly, intuitive, fast. Search results are easy to browse and filter. The checkout flow is smoother than butter, with all required information intelligently grouped, and easy to read – especially luggage allowances, flight times, meal selection, and cancellation policy. It’s clear some smart designers put a lot of thought into making this platform highly functional but also enjoyable.

In fact, as a web developer with 24 years’ experience, I’d say eDreams is my favourite OTA based on user interface. That’s a big compliment and not one I make lightly.

What Could Be Better

Nothing in the world is perfect. Not even me. ;-) Or eDreams.

• I’m not a fan of artificially inflating the discounted Prime rate to make it look better than it is – but rather than being a carrot, I understand it’s a deterrent to discourage customers from checking out without a Prime membership.
• You can only sign up to eDreams Prime when making a flight booking at the same time. It would be nice to have the option to sign up directly without travelling. But I get the logic in their decision.

Is eDreams Prime Worth The Money?

I hope I’ve been able to shed a little light on the complex cut-throat world of online travel agents. There’s a lot more than meets the eye. And I also hope you can appreciate that finding a great flight is more than just the total price at the end of the checkout.

Next time I’m ready to book a flight I’ll certainly be considering eDreams Prime. If you’re thinking of taking at least 1 or 2 international trips in the next year then when you’re ready to book a flight, give eDreams Prime a try. 

With the free trial, you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Including your sanity.

Key takeaways

• The Prime Visa is a great card for Amazon Prime members who regularly shop on Amazon.com, at Whole Foods or Amazon Fresh.
• Additional travel benefits are available, which you may not find with other cash back credit cards
• If you don’t regularly shop at Amazon.com, Amazon and Whole Foods or aren’t a Prime member, another type of cash back card would likely be better suited.

If you’re a regular Amazon Prime shopper, having the Amazon Prime Visa card in your wallet is a no-brainer.

This card lets you earn an impressive cash back rate of 5 percent back on Amazon, Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods purchases and 2 percent back at gas stations, restaurants and on local transit and commuting — including rideshare.

Additionally, you’ll receive 5 percent back on Chase Travel purchases, choose to earn rewards or pay over time with certain purchases over $50 on Amazon and earn unlimited 1 percent cash back for all other purchases where Visa is accepted.

You’ll even get up to a $100 Amazon gift card upon approval and receive access to exclusive limited-time cardholder offers of 10 percent or more back on select items from Amazon.com.

However, this card isn’t just rewarding for online shopping. If you hit the roads and the skies as much as you shop online, you’ll love this card’s travel protections and perks, like travel accident insurance. Read on to learn more about the Amazon Prime Visa card and whether it could be the next great addition to your rewards credit card rotation.

Amazon Prime Visa card travel benefits

While the Amazon Prime Visa card is a cash back credit card at heart, it comes with more perks than most people realize. This includes a range of Amazon Prime Visa card benefits for travel, many of which are uncommon for this type of card.

Because this is a Visa credit card, a range of travel benefits are automatically included. For example, select cardholders can receive upgraded benefits at different resorts, hotels and spas with The Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection . You’ll benefit from automatic room upgrades (based on availability), complimentary Wi-Fi (where available), complimentary breakfast for two guests and early check-in and late check-out upon request (when available), among other perks.

Secondary auto rental coverage

This card comes with rental car coverage , although it works secondary to any insurance policies you already have. This coverage is good for most car rentals in the U.S. and abroad and applies to losses caused by damage or theft.

Travel accident insurance

Cardholders also get travel accident insurance when they travel by air, bus, train or cruise transportation and pay with the Amazon Prime Visa card. This protection includes accidental death or dismemberment coverage worth up to $500,000.

Lost luggage reimbursement

Lost luggage reimbursement can pay for losses when a checked bag or carry-on luggage is lost or damaged by a common carrier. This protection is good for the cardholder and their immediate family members, and it’s worth up to $3,000 per passenger.

Baggage delay insurance

Cardholders can rest easy on flights knowing that if their baggage arrives more than six hours late, they’ll receive up to $100 per day for up to three days to cover essentials like clothing and toiletries.

Travel and emergency assistance

If you need legal or medical help while away from home, you can call the card’s Benefits Administrator for travel and emergency assistance.

Roadside dispatch

You can also get help through this card when you’re in a pinch on the road, whether it’s your car or a rental car. With Visa’s Roadside Dispatch , you can call a hotline to be towed, jump start your car, get help changing your tire, access fuel delivery and more. These services aren’t free, but you’ll be glad you can count on them in case of an emergency.

No foreign transaction fees

This rewards credit card doesn’t tack on any foreign transaction fees when you use it for purchases overseas. This makes it a solid card option for international travel.

Amazon Prime Visa card consumer protections

The Amazon Prime Visa card also comes with some protections for purchases you make. These perks can help you save money or get a replacement if a product you buy with the card is damaged or stolen, or if an expensive item you purchase stops working in a set timeframe.

Purchase protection

Use your card for purchases and get protection that applies for damage or theft within 120 days. This coverage is good for up to $500 per claim and up to $50,000 per account.

Extended warranties

For items with eligible U.S. warranties that you pay for with your Prime Visa card, the extended warranty protection will extend the warranty by another year. This coverage is good for eligible items with extended manufacturer’s warranties of three years or less.

Maximizing the Amazon Prime Visa card

To make the Amazon Prime Visa card worth it for you, you’ll need an eligible Prime membership and use the card for all your Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods purchases. You should also consider booking travel, such as hotels, rental cars, cruises or airfare, through Chase Travel. All will net you 5 percent cash back, which you can redeem for statement credits or more merchandise from the online retailer.

And since it’s a Visa credit card, you can also use it for any other purchases you make. You’ll even earn 2 percent back at restaurants, gas stations, local transit and commuting and 1 percent back on all other purchases when you do.

That said, you should have a plan to pay your balance in full each month if you see yourself using this card for everyday spending and bills. After all, its 19.49 percent to 27.49 percent variable APR will make carrying a balance a costly experience.

The bottom line

If you’re already an Amazon Prime member, adding the Amazon Prime Visa card to your wallet can make Amazon’s low prices an even sweeter deal. If you use Prime regularly, the welcome bonus gift card and high-earning rewards categories for Amazon.com and Whole Foods purchases can cover the cost of your membership.

This card also offers competitive rewards rates for non-Amazon purchases at gas stations, restaurants and on local transit, commuting and ridesharing. It also comes with a bevy of benefits — roadside protections, a concierge service, hotel perks and travel protections — that make it a great option for travelers.

At the end of the day, all the perks and rewards you’ll get make this card well worth it over the long run, but don’t forget to check out other options on our list of the best credit cards for shopping on Amazon .

These are the 5 best premium airlines in the world, according to travel experts

• AirlineRatings.com named Qatar Airways as the world's best premium airline for 2024.
• The ranking evaluates factors like safety, fleet age, customer reviews, and innovation.
• Here are the top five premium airlines worldwide, from Asia to New Zealand.

Flight passengers looking for an upscale experience in the air book their travels with premium airlines .

In May, AirlineRatings.com ranked the top premium airlines around the world in 2024. The website that rates air travel products and safety judged airlines on both criteria, as well as customer reviews, fleet age, and innovation.

Five of the website's editors, who combined have more than 100 years of experience in the travel industry, decided the winners.

The ranking also includes categories for specific features, such as the best economy and business classes and the best long-haul travel airline in each region.

Read on to find out which airlines topped the list.

5. Emirates

The Dubai-based airline Emirates ranks No. 5 on the list and also won the website's awards for best premium economy and in-flight entertainment.

As Business Insider previously reported, Emirates launched its first premium economy cabins in 2021, with upscale features such as reclining seats, leg rests, and footrests.

4. Air New Zealand

In addition to ranking fourth, Air New Zealand was awarded best economy class and was the top pick for long-haul travel in Australia and the Pacific.

Since 2011, the airline has had lie-flat bed seats in economy . BI's reporter Taylor Rains previously booked a seat — known as a " Skycouch " — for a 17-hour flight and found that the added comfort made the long flight go by quickly.

BI's reporter Monica Humphries flew with Air New Zealand in business class . She was impressed by spacious seats with footrests, three-course meals, and Champagne service before takeoff.

3. Cathay Pacific Airways

Cathay Pacific Airways also received the website's excellence in long-haul travel award for South-East Asia.

BI previously reported that Cathay Pacific Airways was included in Skytrax's roundup of 10 five-star-rated airlines.

2. Korean Air

No. 2 on the list, Korean Air, won the excellence in long-haul travel title for North Asia.

Rains reviewed her experience on a 12-hour flight in Korea Air's business class and said the cabin looked like a private jet with private, boxed-in quarters, and her seat felt more like a hotel room with a lie-flat bed, an amenity kit, and storage bins for her belongings.

1. Qatar Airways

In addition to being the world's No. 1 premium airline, Qatar Airways won the best business class award for the fifth year in a row and received the excellence in long-haul travel award for the Middle East.

AirlineRatings.com editor in chief Geoffrey Thomas said Qatar Airways was the No. 1 pick for many of the criteria, according to the company's website. In passenger reviews, Thomas noted the luxury airline scored far "ahead of all airlines, and its consistency and high standard of service delivery came through in the feedback."

BI previously reported that Qatar Airways has impressive business-class suites , lavish complimentary amenities, gourmet food, and luxurious turn-down service.
