Are you an airfare finding expert? Farefetch will give you cash for your efforts.

Farefetch is a new app that is approaching airfare with a different strategy. Submit your request to fly from A to B, the price you would pay, and Farefetch will set its “Farefetchers” loose trying to score the best deal.  The Farefetcher who scores the deal will get paid the difference between what a client would have paid and what the price the Farefetcher found. I haven’t tried this app myself, but I’m a little tempted to sign up as a farefetcher and see how well I do. Let’s take a look at the details you can find on the company’s website.

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.

    they are still in beta and as Gary and Darin point out, most of the requests are completely unreasonable.
    I provided detailed feedback to farefetch what they can do to fix this – let’s hope they do, it’s a great idea…
    but for the time being, this is a waste of time with little opportunity to legitimately make money…

  • Christian August 31, 2017

    Please tell me that you’re not getting referrals for an app that you have neither reviewed nor tried yourself. I think well of you, and that would be a let down.

    • Miles August 31, 2017

      Nope, no referral or affiliation at all. Just read about it and thought it was an interesting concept

  • JL August 31, 2017

    or impossible routing…non stop from middle of nowhere to another place in middle of no where. farefetcher really need to be able to set the “baseline” of what the traveler is willing to pay.

    right now as is it’s just a big waste of time and inbox space for everyone.

    I’ve been on this for a week and there is little to no opportunity to legitimately make money here. Email fare requests are frequent but the vast majority of them are requests that cannot be legitimately fulfilled at the price they’re asking. The very, very few that are small, viable money makers are snatched up in seconds, so you’d have to be staring at your email non-stop and immediately clicking through to get it.

    You are permitted to use your miles to book tickets for clients, so this could be a money-maker if you’re willing to flout frequent flyer program regulations, put your accounts in jeopardy and risk stranding the traveler. I’m guessing that people who might also be to access corporate/bulk/consolidator fares, etc might occasionally be able to beat the fare requested as well.

    Just don’t think for a second that you’re going to type in airport codes in Google Flights that match Farefinder requests – surely anyone who knows FareFinder can access simple booking tools. They’re looking for (mostly unreasonable) deals and the only way to succeed would be to have access to fares not publicly available.

      Darin – thanks for all the info!

  • Gary August 31, 2017

    have signed up and 95% of the requests are preposterous! “I want a $2 Business Class fare……………..
