Buying trips guide

Ask a creator about a trip you bought

Message a trip's creator through Platix, reply by email, and control updates and announcements.

Buyers of a premium trip can ask its creator questions with Ask {creator} under "From the premium trip by" on the trip page. Platix delivers the messages; the creator sees the message and the order reference, never the buyer's name or email. Buyers can also reply to Platix's message, update or announcement emails, writing above "Reply above this line" from their account address; Platix posts only the new text and hides email addresses. Close conversation stops replies until the buyer writes again; messages can be deleted or reported. Creators' updates and announcements appear under From creators in Purchases and by email; Stop announcements from {creator}, the email link, the checkout choice, or the Announcements from creators setting turn them off. Conversations are deleted 24 months after the last message, 30 days after access ends, or with the account.

If you bought a premium trip, you can ask its creator questions about it: timing, bookings, swaps, anything that helps you travel it.

Ask

  1. Open the trip you bought.
  2. Under "From the premium trip by", select Ask {creator}.
  3. Write your question and select Send.

Platix delivers your message. The creator sees your message and your order reference, never your name or email address. When they reply, Platix emails you, and the link opens the conversation on your trip. To stop these emails, turn off Replies from creators in your email settings; the conversation stays on your trip.

Reply by email

You can also reply to that email, or to an update or announcement from the creator. Write above the line "Reply above this line".

  • Platix posts only your new text, never your email address. It's hidden even if your signature includes it.
  • Replies must come from the email address on your Platix account.
  • Attachments aren't delivered.
  • If a reply can't be posted, Platix emails your account address to say why.

Close, delete or report

  • Close conversation stops replies until you write again.
  • You can delete your own messages.
  • Report sends a message to Platix for review. The creator isn't told who reported it.

Updates and announcements

Creators can send updates about trips you bought and occasional announcements about their other trips on Platix. They appear under From creators in Purchases and by email.

  • To stop one creator's announcements: select Stop announcements from {creator} under From creators, or use the link in their email. You can also choose this at checkout.
  • To stop all announcements: turn off Announcements from creators in your email settings.
  • Updates about trips you bought keep coming unless you turn off Updates to trips I bought.

How long messages are kept

Conversations are deleted 24 months after the last message, 30 days after you lose access to the trip, or when you delete your account.
