Hi all,

Last night I had a notification/ping alert from my Seatfrog app claiming to offer 75% off on the cost of any First Class upgrades- probably too good to me true- Having loaded the app I can't see any trace of this at all.

Has anyone any experience of claiming this offer?

I suspect it's fake but then question if the app had been "hacked?"

Thanks!

Could it be referring to the headline price for a Seatfrog upgrade compared to a normal Excess to First Class?

Don't forget the 'up to 75% off*'.

* Plus £3 'Platform fee. :s

Quite possibly. When I clicked on the alert, I expected it to load up a separate page on the app going into more details explaining what the offer was, but just loaded the homepage as normal.

By the time the mandatory platform fee is factored in, the savings are no where near 'up to 75% off'.

I really hate advertising like that. It is so misleading.

The devil's in the detail! What is the actual offer that SeatFrog are supposedly making?

I think you’ve misread the notification, it says that 75% of their auctions start at £20 or less. But yeah, I initially thought it was 75% off too, until I fully read it.

ALT text = a screenshot of a notification from the Seatfrog app saying: "Travelling soon? 25% of all upgrade auctions start at under £20 this week"

Ah, that's what I've seen. Thank you!
