CheapOair cashback is a fixed dollar amount, not a percentage of the fare. It is paid after you travel: the reservation itself is worth $0, and the money follows once the trip has actually been taken. Every booking type has its own amount, and within each one the amount steps up with the value of the booking. No promo code is needed to earn it. CheapOair's own fee codes rotate monthly; the ones below are the current batch.
FTC disclosure: Tenmomo earns a commission when you use the links on this page, at no extra cost to you.
CASHBACK BY BOOKING TYPE
$8 on a flight booking, $9 above $201, $10 above $501.
The amount is fixed, not a percentage, so it does not scale with the fare — it steps. Three rungs, and the booking value decides which one you land on. We headline the bottom rung because it is the one every flight booking clears; the higher two are there if your booking reaches them.
$5, then $6 above $101 and $7 above $251.
Insurance is its own line with its own ladder, and it pays on top of the flight it covers rather than instead of it. Like everything else here, it is settled after the trip.
$15 per completed stay, $16 above $101, $17 above $251.
These are CheapOair's own stated amounts for a completed hotel stay. No Tenmomo member has yet booked a hotel through this programme, so we have not watched the amount arrive and cannot describe its behaviour from experience — only from the terms.
$25 per completed package, $30 above $201, $35 above $501. Car rentals run on the insurance ladder: $5 to $7.
$25 is the entry rung CheapOair states for a completed vacation package, and $35 the top. We headline the $25 rather than the $35 for the same reason we headline $8 on flights: the bottom rung is the one a booking is certain to reach. This category has never produced a payment for us on any network, which is also why it is not the page's headline number.
Paid after travel · the reservation itself pays $0 · cancelled or no-show bookings earn nothing.
CheapOair's programme lists the reservation and the completed trip as two separate things, and only the second one carries money. The reservation line is explicitly worth $0.00; every paying line is a “consumed” line, which is the industry's word for a trip that actually happened.
All amounts are flat dollars rather than a share of the booking price, so an expensive ticket does not earn more except where it crosses one of the steps above. Confirmation can take several weeks after travel while CheapOair validates the booking.
This is not a quirk of one network. CheapOair paid the same way on the programme we used before this one: of the 201 transactions we recorded there, 113 were reservation lines and every single one of them settled at $0.00. It is how this merchant works, and it is the single thing most worth understanding before you book.
TENMOMO TRACKING DATA
Figures are Tenmomo's own tracking data, updated daily.
HOW TO CLAIM
Use this page's button to open CheapOair and start the 90-day tracking window — orders without the click earn no cashback.
Book as normal. No promo code is required for cashback; a fee code, if you use one, is separate and does not affect it.
Cashback appears after completed travel and confirms over the following weeks. Cancelled or no-show bookings earn $0.
WORKED EXAMPLE
The booking values are illustrative; the mechanism is that a flight pays $8, $9 or $10 depending on which step it clears, and pays it only once the trip is flown.
Cashback is credited after travel, not deducted at checkout, so your card is charged the full fare when you book and the cashback posts once the trip is confirmed as taken.
The honest limit of this example: CheapOair states the ladder and the step values, but not the fine print of how a booking is measured against them, and we have not yet been paid through this programme, so we cannot fill that in from our own records. Treat the rungs as reliable and the exact boundary as the merchant's to decide. If your booking sits close to a step, plan on the lower number.
PROMO CODES
Codes rotate monthly. CheapOair's programme lists all three through October 5, 2026; confirm the discount in your booking before you pay.
Every one of them comes off CheapOair's booking fees, not off the airfare. That is why the figures look large next to a cheap ticket and why the word is “up to” — the discount cannot exceed the fees on your particular booking, and CheapOair attaches its own conditions to each one. Cashback is unaffected either way: it tracks on the click, with or without a code.
CheapOair replaces its code set on a monthly cycle and attributes the rotation to airline advertising rules. We publish only what its programme currently lists, which is why this section is short.
CheapOair's wording: “The Early Bird Gets the Worm! Just Enter Code EARLY50 for up to $50 off our fees on flights and plan your next holiday trip.” The ceiling is on the fees, not the fare.
CheapOair's wording: “No Tricks Here…Only Treats! Just Enter Code HALLO44 for up to $44 off our fees on flights.” A seasonal campaign, so expect it to turn over with the batch.
CheapOair's wording: “Columbus Day is around the Corner! Just Enter Code CD40 for up to $40 off our fees on flights.” Also seasonal, and on the same rotation as the other two.
The number inside a code name is a campaign label, not a promised discount. Ours and the public codes share the same monthly rotation.
This page once listed a Tenmomo-only fee code worth up to $50, and CheapOair's own public fee code alongside it. Both were confirmed to us in writing by CheapOair's team, and that evidence was real. What ended was our ability to keep checking them: they lived in the affiliate programme we used before this one, that account was closed to us and the closure appeal was refused, and CheapOair rotates its code set every month. A code we cannot re-read is a code that could have been replaced weeks ago without our knowing.
We publish a code only while we can check it on the day you read it, and that standard does not bend because the last thing we heard was a yes. The three above are on the current batch of the programme we can read today; the withdrawn two are not coming back on the strength of an old email.
WHERE CODES COME FROM
Check CheapOair's email list and deals page; the cashback amounts come from its affiliate programme.
CheapOair sends fee codes and fare alerts to email subscribers. Sign up on cheapoair.com to catch a new batch when it drops rather than waiting for a page like this one to catch up.
Rotating fare sales on cheapoair.com — many need no code at all. Click through Tenmomo first so your cashback tracks either way.
Both the cashback amounts and the three codes above are read from CheapOair's own programme record on the Rakuten network, verified September 23, 2026 — not from a coupon aggregator and not from our own warehouse copy of it.
Holiday booking windows are when CheapOair runs its deeper fare promotions. Your flat cashback is unaffected by any of it — it stacks with whatever sale or code you find.
No promo code is required for cashback; it tracks through the click.
BOOKING AHEAD
Cashback stays flat whatever the season: the ladder is set by booking type and value, not by when you buy.
A higher peak-season fare does not raise this cashback except where it crosses one of the steps, and no fare sale lowers it. What matters is the sequence: click through Tenmomo first, book within the 90-day window, and remember the money arrives after the trip rather than after the purchase.
HOW WE VERIFY
FAQ
On flights, $8 — rising to $9 on a booking over $201 and $10 over $501. Flight insurance and car rentals run $5 to $7 on the same idea, hotels $15 to $17, and vacation packages $25 to $35. All of them are flat dollar amounts rather than a share of what you spend, and all of them are paid after you travel. We publish the entry rung of each ladder because that is the one a booking is sure to reach.
On a completed trip, not at booking. After you travel, the amount appears as pending in your Tenmomo account and confirms over the following weeks as CheapOair validates the booking. A cancelled or no-show booking earns $0.
No. Cashback tracks through your Tenmomo click and needs nothing typed at checkout. CheapOair's fee codes are a separate saving that comes off its booking fees; using one does not reduce your cashback, and skipping one does not increase it.
You earn nothing. Every amount on this page is tied to a completed trip — a flight you boarded, a stay you completed, a package you travelled on. A reservation you never use is worth $0 to you and to us alike.
Because CheapOair pays a fixed amount that steps rather than a percentage that scales. The cheaper booking pays $8 and the expensive one $10 — more, but not four and a half times more. On a big-ticket flight that is a modest return, and it is worth saying so: this is a programme worth claiming, not one that will move the needle the way a percentage programme would.
Probably not — that is how this programme works, and it catches people out. CheapOair records the reservation and the completed trip separately, and only the second one carries money; its own terms put the reservation line at $0.00. So a zero after booking is the expected state, not a tracking failure. It should change after you travel and confirm over the following weeks. If it has not moved well after your return date, that is the point to raise it with us.
You earn $0. The click is what lets your completed booking be matched to your account. The fares on cheapoair.com are the same either way; the cashback is simply left on the table if you skip it.
Through CheapOair, yes — it has been one of the busiest merchants we track. We recorded 201 transactions on the programme we used before this one and 87 of them carried money. Through this particular affiliate programme, not yet: we joined it recently, after the previous one closed to us. The amounts on this page are CheapOair's stated terms rather than something we have watched arrive, and we would rather tell you that than let the page imply a track record it does not have.

CheapOair cashback is a fixed amount per booking type and credits after completed travel.
Last updated September 23, 2026 · Editorial & verification policy
Rates and terms are verified before they go live and included on merit. A booking initially earns $0; the fixed amount is attached once the trip is taken and credits after that. Amounts step with the value of the booking within each booking type. Terms may change, so check current amounts before you book.
