Paid outside Europe: the questions people ask
Can I be paid in another currency?
Skycop pays in your preferred currency, with a possible conversion fee outside euro; AirCashBack in PLN or another currency offered; Refund Pilot pays in euro to SWIFT accounts.
Who pays the transfer fees?
Often you: AirCashBack says you pay transfer costs; FlightCompensations charges a fixed fee for a bank wire but nothing for cheque, Zelle or PayPal.
Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?
5 of the 8: AirCashBack, Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT, RefundMore and Skycop. Each card shows the rating, the number of reviews and the newest review date, read on the day shown.
Do these companies charge a fee if they win?
AirCashBack, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, MYFLYRIGHT, Refund Pilot, RefundMore and Skycop publish a fee figure on their own websites. Each card gives the fee as the company states it, with its conditions, such as VAT or a separate court fee.
Can I claim without a claims company?
Yes. You can claim from the airline directly and for free; in the UK or EU you can go on to the national enforcement body or an approved dispute scheme if the airline refuses. A claims company takes a share of the compensation for doing that work for you.
Where can I check these facts myself?
Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, under Sources, with the date they were read.
How were these companies chosen?
Each one is a claims company in the Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table and its own website says how it pays you: the methods, the currency or accounts outside the SEPA area. A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.
Is any company on this page paying to be here?
No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be listed.
