Google owns ITA software which many airlines themselves for ticketing, as such they know more than the airline itself does about what's a good deal.

So adversarial they spend tons of money on advertising and pay Google to use ITA's software to sell tickets to their own customers.

Somehow I think Google would manage to outsmart them at their own game.

Note that this is a temporary promotion:

> Price guarantee is available between August 13th and September 2nd, 2019. You'll see the price guarantee badge on select flights where travel is completed by November 24th, 2019.

Still sounds like a great deal, but this explains why it's not a huge liability.

Or they're adding new power users as they add new users in general...

Yes and it was quite a bit more work to integrate. Stripe hit the sweet spot of being easy as possible and integrated into your site.

The PayPal form also involved redirecting all your users over to PayPal. Stripe has always integrated into your site/service which is part of what made that form so nifty.

Because you or I don't have a way to flag Universal's account? It seems odd that a third party has direct control over your Soundcloud account (which you may have paid for) without any recourse.
