    Does anyone know are you limited in the number of separate bookings that you can make?

    I'm pretty sure this can only be used once. I've got the refund for a stay I completed last week. It showed up in the details of my current booking as I used the link in the OP but I don't expect to get the refund.

    The T&C say "Booking.com will only recognize one Eligible Reservation per Participant per campaign to count for an Incentive Bonus."

    That would make sense...i was windering how they could afford to give away so much. Has anyine received multiple €75s back? I could rebook (again) two of my bookings, one in each parents name as the three of us are travelling together. You'd think given that you are logged into the website that it either wouldn't ket you use the discount again ir would give you a warning that you have used it because when i go i to my bookings i can see it says x4 this stay is eligble for €75 refund (or whatever it says)

    Just wondering, we are going on holidays soon, and have multiple bookings with booking.com. Some of the places are booked out now, with re booking them would we run the risk of losing the accommodation ?

    You need to run a dummy booking on the website to see if the hotel you are staying in still has rooms available and the prices. If they do and the price is the same, book those and then cancel your original booking.

    Same as that, another booking on the sane account, and the discount is applied. Heading for contender for Bargain of the Year (will be a runner up, though, nothing beats the Halfords socket set :D)

    Just a bit of info that may be helpful to anyone who has made or is thinking of making a booking. I originally booked a stay using the $40 refund option but cancelled and rebooked using this €75 deal.

    I completed my stay on Sunday and received an email today stating I have been refunded the €75. Excellent offer, thanks OP.

    I have a place booked on a 'free cancellation' basis with payment made on arrival...I presume I won't see the €75 back until I actually pay there and then?

    Thanks OP, still working. I had almost booked before I remembered this. Had to use a different browser to get it though.

    Was reading T&C but the following wasn't clear:

    Is it possible to pay cash at the hotel and still get the cashback?
    Wold it work if there is no cc stored in booking.com profile?

    Booking.com have the card stored on their side, in case I cancel, etc.

    I also made two bookings, the first was completed last weekend.

    I got this email today.

    Strangely, the T&C discuss the 'refer a friend program terms'.

    Something about not being able to guarantee the reward if using Mastercard as well, but not all mastercards affected? Hopefully wont be an issue for anyone.

    Have claimed the 75 anyway, so hopefully will be in the cc account soon.

    Thanks OP. Just saved more than 40% on the very apartment I was about to book on Airbnb. It was already hundreds cheaper on Booking.com.

    As an aside, the Airbnb markup is frankly ridiculous. If you are looking to book on Airbnb, I'd suggest just doing an advanced search of the property description. You're likely to find the same place on Booking, Housetrip, Flipkey or any of the Tripadvisor sites for much cheaper. I saved 200 quid last year after finding the exact same listing on Flipkey. Why anyone would pay the Airbnb hipness tax baffles me.

    Agreed, I just don't get the attraction of AirBnB, it always seems a lot more expensive to me and I feel like I'd be creeping around someone's house, like an old style B&B.

    Tnx for the link Op, used €75 off for next week.
