A Reddit user describes booking a $2,000 Norway trip entirely through Claude, saving $800. Key practices: never paste card numbers into chat (training data risk); use Anthropic-approved MCP connectors from the directory (tried SlickTrip and Otto Travel, settled on LetsFG); only trust payment rails like Stripe or Revolut where neither the merchant nor Claude sees the card; approve purchases via email. Claude's edge: comparing 200+ sites, airline reliability histories, and thousands of hotel reviews.
