Seatfrog Reviews 

About to report. I’m inundated with spam & marketing emails. If & when I want to find an upgrade I’m both intelligent & independent enough to plan by myself.
Every time I press the “unsubscribe” button I’m sent to the upgrade/ buy page. I press “help” & presented with facile useless “help” or stupid question list!
I ask how to unsubscribe/stop emails & nothing. So reporting both on App feedback & now going to TrustPilot.
24hrs - then I block as spam, close account with removal of ALL personal data. Finally will submit a data protect complaint.
UPDATE
Managed to finally reach msg centre. Oddly not once in my review did I indicate that I didn’t subscribe for marketing emails. What I complained about is the garage - if inundated with marketing emails -sorry that IS spam. I don’t need daily emails & particularly when I have only accessed app on 3 occasions in 18mths!!!!
I know how to use app; I know what & when I travel; I know if, or not, I wish to upgrade; I don’t need daily emails & more often if I have accessed looking at what upgrades are available - more importantly whether worth it.
I have now unsubscribed as I’ve found that I tend to travel when both prices are high or no auction available. With advance booking & FREE seat reservation never had an uncomfortable journey. That includes open returns where seat reservation is not possible on return journey back.
Good to hear that the link to unsubscribe has now been fixed. Now maybe u should reconsider your definition of spam, even where customer has subscribed.

Great service from Seat Frog. My train was declassified and no 1st Class service was available. Seat Frog assessed my claim and gave me a full refund. Thank you

Ella V, responded in great time and with lots of enthisiasm as well as delivering excellent news!

My journey from Newton Abbot at 10.06 on 6th October 2026 was cancelled at Taunton because of the emergency services dealing with an incident.
I therefore lost my 1st class upgrade.
I contacted the team at Seatfrog to request a refund.
6 days later i received the refund!!
I often use Seatfrog and will continue to do so.
Great service, thankyou Ella!!

Ella responded very quickly and it was no hassle obtaining a refund for my outward and return journeys. Thanks Ella

Great support from Ella when my train was cancelled! Quick and helpful response

I always use Seatfrog and will be again this afternoon. On my way up, my train was cancelled and so I couldn't use my upgrade. The refund process was slick and easy and completed over the weekend. Great comms and service 👌👌

Ella was very quick to sort my request and wow her email was so kind and thoughtful!

First time using Seatfrog for an upgrade to first class after being recommended by a friend. Had my reservations but it was supprisingly easy to navigate through the auction and my bid was accepted. Very happy.

Got to Paddington last night and the train i had booked an upgrade on had been cancelled, typical, but not Seatfrog's fault. Managed to get on another train with my standard ticket, so no problem. Immediately followed the customer service option on the app to apply for a refund and Seatfrog's Ella has contacted me today to say that the refund has been accepted. Thanks Ella.

So although this transaction didnt work out as I wanted, Seatfrog has handled it brilliantly. Will definitely be using Seatfrog again and hoping that GWR don't cancel the service.

Crisp clear information from Ella in great time from my query. Thank you!

My first time using Seatfrog for an upgrade and my train was cancelled! Very disappointing but Ella at Seatfrog soon sorted out my refund. Hopefully I'll be able to use it next time.

Great service and never had any issues. On one occasion my train was cancelled and I was given a full refund for my upgrade - thanks Richard!

Needed to contact customer service for a refund due to very disrupted Avanti train travel. The process was quick and easy and my refund is on the way. Thank you very much 😁

I’ve always been very impressed with Seatfrog since they launched a few years ago. It gives you the opportunity to upgrade, ordinarily at a very low price. It varies from train to train, but I’ve had some absolute belters.

However, I particularly wanted to highlight just how exceptional their customer service is.

Recently, they very kindly gave me a refund because my train was so overcrowded that people were even standing in the toilets, so there was absolutely no chance of enjoying a First Class seat.

What impressed me most was the human touch. Their communication was exceptional throughout.

I felt compelled to leave a quick review because genuinely great customer service can sometimes feel quite rare these days. When you also compare the price of a full-fare First Class ticket with what you can sometimes secure by bidding through Seatfrog, it really is a no-brainer and can turn First Class travel into an affordable luxury.

Thanks particularly to Richard for the excellent service.

Excellent customer service - train was cancelled before travel so I couldn't use my upgrade, the guidance was clear and the process straightforward. Received confirmation of the processed refund quickly, highly recommend.

Seatfrog is a great way to jazz up your journey. I’ve won a few auctions and it’s made the journey sweeter. I’ve also had the misfortune of winning an auction for a train that was then declassified so unable to use the win but Ella at Seatfrog support sorted a refund for that one. Seatfrog is one of those things you don’t want everyone to know so your chances of winning are greater. And excellent customer service from Ella. More people should be like Ella

Great idea and service. Special shout out to Ella who helped me navigate some last minute travel disruption and keep my seat upgrade without additional cost.

Issue with upgrade. Richard fixed it on no time. Great Customer Service.

Ella gave great customer service and handled my query with speed and efficiency. Thank you!!

Hi Seatfrog team,

I wanted to reach out and thank you for your support. You resolved the refund for my cancelled train journey quickly and professionally. I appreciate your excellent service!
