How we pick
This page explains what we list and how cards are ordered. The numbers below are read straight from the code that builds this site, so this page changes when the rules do.
What we list
- We only repeat official seller information (product name, photos, inclusions, departure dates). We do not show prices; check prices and availability on the seller’s page.
- We only list products from sellers that have an affiliate program, so we do not cover every seller or every product.
- Properties featured as Secret Stays are not added to the shopping lists.
Rules for the shopping lists
- Agoda stay cards: only properties with a guest rating of 8.0 or higher and at least 150 reviews on Agoda, chosen by rating and review count.
- Myrealtrip tour and ticket cards: from best-selling search results, only products rated 4.5 or higher with at least 20 reviews (not applied to travel goods).
Ratings and review counts are the seller’s numbers, not a Global TripX rating. We have not stayed at or used these products, so we do not publish our own stars or reviews.
How cards are ordered
- Shopping lists alternate sellers and regions so that one seller or one country does not crowd the page.
- Cards that are actually clicked and booked more become slightly more likely to appear first. This uses click, booking and revenue data reported by the sellers.
- Scoring weights: counting one click as 1, each unit of revenue (USD) counts 10 and each order or booking counts 5. Recent data counts more (half-life 14 days), and a single card’s weight only moves between 0.5x and 5x. With very little data, the order stays close to the original.
Because revenue is part of the score, cards that earned more commission can move up. No seller pays to buy a position or a placement.
Decision guides
- We split options (for example eSIM, pocket Wi-Fi and roaming) by situation and write who each suits, who it does not suit, and its drawbacks.
- Facts in comparison tables come only from official sources such as carriers, airports and operators, with a source for each cell. There is no price column.
- Instead of words like “best” or “No. 1”, we explain why an option fits a situation.
