Less “we should go.”
More “let’s do this.” 🌍

In My trips, open “My private access link.” Save it somewhere only you can access, such as a password manager, and open it on your other device. This private link grants access to your trips and savings. It is different from the group invite—never put it in your group chat.

If your original browser still has its access key, you can open My trips and copy the link again. If both the browser key and your saved private link are lost, there is no email or password recovery. You may rejoin a group as a new participant if a spot is available, but you cannot recover the lost identity’s editing access.

The organizer can edit the budget, adjust the group size, replace invite links, remove the trip, and restore it with Undo. Each member can change only their own nickname, emoji, and savings total. The organizer cannot reduce the group size below the number of people already joined.

Everyone in a trip can see its members’ nicknames and reported savings totals. Only joined members can view the full group record. Anyone holding a valid invite can join until the trip is full, so send it only to your travel group. The organizer can replace an invite link; this blocks future joins through the old link, while existing members keep access.

No. Starting amounts help you explore a budget. They use distance or broad departure regions, destination, travel style, and simple seasonal assumptions. Suggested U.S. cities have starter budgets. For another place, type its name and enter your own prices; there is no live location or fare service. They are not market averages or real-time quotes. Enter current prices in “Check or change prices” before committing to travel.

The group budget is split equally. We subtract what you have already saved from your share, then divide the remainder into weekly contributions before departure, rounding up to whole dollars. The first contribution is today, then every seven days before you leave. Once the departure date is reached, the weekly target pauses until the organizer picks a new date.

Getting there and back, stays, meals, experiences, local transport, and a buffer. Stays assume up to two people per room; meals and experiences cover nights plus one day. Add baggage, insurance, visas, taxes, tips, and any other extras to your editable prices or buffer as needed. Check what each actual quote already includes to avoid double counting.

No. GoalAway is a travel budgeting and progress tool. It does not book travel, hold deposits, or connect to banks. Savings are totals that members enter themselves.
