Question 1

What is the TRIPADVISOR* charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

The TRIPADVISOR* charge on your bank statement is a legitimate payment to TripAdvisor for a hotel, tour, or experience booking made through their platform. These charges typically range from $20.00 to $300.00 depending on what you booked. If you recently reserved accommodations, purchased a tour package, or booked a local experience through TripAdvisor, this charge corresponds to that transaction.

Question 2

I see a TRIPADVISOR* charge I don't recognize — could someone have used my card?

Accepted Answer

It's possible but not necessarily the case. First, check if anyone in your household booked a hotel, tour, or travel experience through TripAdvisor, as the charge can range from $20.00 to $300.00. You can review your active bookings and account activity by logging in at tripadvisor.com/profile. If you find no associated booking and believe the charge is unauthorized, contact your bank to dispute it and consider changing your TripAdvisor account password immediately.

Question 3

How do I cancel a TripAdvisor booking to get a refund on this charge?

Accepted Answer

To cancel a TripAdvisor booking and request a refund, log in to your account and visit tripadvisor.com/profile where you can view and manage your reservations. Find the specific hotel, tour, or experience booking associated with the charge, which was likely between $20.00 and $300.00, and follow the cancellation steps. Keep in mind that refund eligibility depends on the cancellation policy of the specific property or experience provider, so check the terms before canceling.

Question 4

Why does my statement show TRIPADVISOR* instead of the hotel name I booked?

Accepted Answer

When you book a hotel, tour, or experience directly through TripAdvisor's platform, the charge processes under the merchant name TRIPADVISOR* rather than the name of the individual hotel or experience provider. This is normal and simply reflects that TripAdvisor handled the payment transaction on behalf of the provider. The amount between $20.00 and $300.00 should match what you agreed to at checkout. You can verify the exact booking details by visiting tripadvisor.com/profile and reviewing your reservation history.
