From

[email protected]
Never send to spam
Apply to matching messages

The filter catches the booking sites you already use.

New hotel confirmations from these senders are forwarded to Day2DayTrips. Your old inbox stays where it is; we only need the booking emails that match the rule.

booking.com
hotels.com
expedia.com
agoda.com
marriott.com
hilton.com
hyatt.com
ihg.com

Once it is saved, you are hands-off.

From then on, every matching hotel confirmation reaches us automatically and we watch it through the free-cancellation window. If the price drops, you get the rebook plan.

1

Add the forwarding address

Open Gmail settings, add our inbox, and wait about a minute for Gmail to mark it verified.

2

Create the travel filter

The filter link opens Gmail with the major hotel and booking senders already filled in.

Choose Forward it to

Pick [email protected], create the filter, and new confirmations will come to us automatically.

Not on Gmail? Outlook, Apple Mail, and most providers support forwarding rules too. You can also install the Chrome extension or point new travel confirmations at [email protected].
