Ads, partner offers, and Travel guides
Where sponsored cards can appear, how booking commissions work, and how to use or report creator guides.
Limbo features are free for everyone, with no display ads. Paid placement never changes your crew's plans, ballot results, or the order of organic recommendations.
Sponsored cards
All accounts are ad-free. No Pro subscription is needed to remove display ads.
Partner booking links
You may also see Partner links such as Compare rates or Check availability beside a relevant stay or activity. These are user-requested booking utilities, and are available to everyone. Limbo may earn a commission if you book; the disclosure appears beside the link.
Before current in-trip booking context is placed into an outbound partner link, a confirmation names the partner and shows every trip field that will be shared. Depending on the offer, that can be a coarse destination, relevant travel dates, or an exact selected public place that came from structured place data. Limbo does not send exact coordinates, inferred crew size, private notes, arbitrary free text, or raw account, trip, plan, email, or invite identifiers. Tap Continue to send the displayed fields and open the partner's current link, or Cancel to send no click. Once the partner page opens, the browser or device may share normal connection information and cookies under that partner's privacy policy.
Booking happens with the named travel provider. Limbo does not change the provider's price, hold your booking, or handle its cancellation or refund.
Travel guides
Travel guides are not available in the browser app. Old guide links return to Home. The guide instructions below apply only where guides are available in the mobile app.
When the creator-guide collection is available, open Travel guides from Home to browse free itineraries from approved creators. Limbo can hide the Home entry from the server while no guides are ready, then enable it later without changing your trips.
Tap Use this guide to copy its itinerary into a new private trip. The copy is yours to edit and never adds the creator or their private information to your crew. Booking links are not copied into your editable plans.
If a guide cannot load, tap Try again. An incomplete link shows No guide selected instead of continuing to load. Choose Go to Travel guides to browse another itinerary.
If a guide is unsafe, spammy, or misleading, tap Report. Tap Block creator to hide their original guides, including saved guides on this device. Trips you have already copied stay yours to edit. Blocks made on another device take effect here after you reconnect.
Where a guide is eligible for creator attribution, its creator may receive 30% of Limbo's net commission after an attributable booking is completed and the partner actually pays Limbo. Impressions and clicks alone do not earn a creator payment.
Read a saved guide offline
When Offline travel packs is enabled, a travel pack includes the approved guides linked to that downloaded trip. While offline, Home shows Travel guides when the current pack contains at least one: open it to browse the saved list and read each guide's itinerary.
If Limbo needs to check which creators you have blocked, reconnect and open Travel guides before reading saved originals offline. Your copied trip and downloaded files remain available.
Offline guide reading is view-only. Limbo hides Use this guide, booking links, sponsored cards, Report, and Block creator until you reconnect, so an unavailable network action cannot look as if it succeeded. See Working offline for downloading, refreshing, and authorizing a pack.
