First time I noticed it. It may be only for specific airlines/flights.

Only seen it with mostly spirit. Sometimes Alaska (last minute, expensive flight).

"Important:

You must download the Google Pay app and set it up within 90 days of the departure of the first flight in your itinerary to claim the difference back. It will be deposited into your money in Google Pay. Learn more about the Google Pay app. "

Seems like it's only for cheap spirit flights.
Cap One is better in my opinion.

Pretty sure I saw in the $300 range, also Alaska (don't remember if it was this route, maybe to SAN).

Google expanded this program, and it now includes flights booked directly from the airline, when forwarded from Google flights.

Price guarantee pays you the difference between the flight price when you book and the lowest ticket price between then and departure. To get a payout, the price difference must be greater than 5 USD. You can receive up to 500 USD total per Google account across all eligible itineraries in a given calendar year. You can have up to 3 open Price guaranteed bookings at any one time. This means that the first flight in the itinerary hasn’t departed yet. If eligible, you’ll receive a payout after the first flight in the booked itinerary takes off.

Didn’t want to open a new thread for this, but it appears that Southwest blocked any redirections from Google flights. It used to just not show the price, but at least directed you to the flight you chose on SW.
