Thanks I just followed the link and booked a room in Galway

You have to tick on a box on the booking page to "Use this card for your reward". So the $40 is refunded to the credit card that you use to purchase, AFTER you checkout of the hotel supposedly.

I'll try and post back when I get the money next week :pac:

Have you seen the T&Cs. They are paying you to do a good bit of work after your stay.

I've two bookings for the next 3 weeks but the price is higher now than I paid so I could save a small bit but don't fancy the hoops to jump through after my holiday.

Bawnmore · 02-06-2017 4:42pm

Is it paid directly back onto your card, or added as credit to your account for a future Bookings.com purchase? I can't seem to find any reference to it in the T&C's.

Don't think thats the case. Its just generic t&cs that cover a lot of their different offers. Some involve booking through app, some involve reviewing this one just involves a eligible booking. At least that's my reading of it.

gizmo81 · 02-06-2017 7:35pm

Is Free cancelation excluded?

Doesn't look like. I get free cancelation but still says I'm eligible for the reward.

gizmo81 · 02-06-2017 7:40pm

Brilliant will give it a go now thanks

Pistachios & cream · 02-06-2017 8:01pm

Thanks op just used this. Cancelled a place I'd already booked and rebooked to get the offer.

messinkiapina · 05-06-2017 3:03pm

Do u have to book in USD?

callaway92 · 05-06-2017 4:04pm

Thanks,

Went for the deal for a weekend in Belfast which I was planning anyway. Will hopefully get it credited back a few days after the stay.

shardylan · 05-06-2017 4:14pm

Just a word of warning when booking with booking.com .Always check your bank a/c because twice that I booked with them that I would pay when I got there and twice they took the full money & the last time they actually took it 3 times .Took a long time to get it sorted with them blaming the hotel and hotel blaming them.
I'm sure it's a rare occupancy but just wanted to warn people

loobylou · 05-06-2017 4:25pm

Not that rare, has happened to me too. Had to go through so many hoops to get it back I gave up.

gizmo81 · 05-06-2017 4:32pm

Happened me too. I pushed and pushed got the money back and €200 in compensation.

Ludo · 05-06-2017 6:28pm

Interesting...have used booking.com many times without an issue. Will be keeping close eye on my statements after reading this.

Thanks OP by the way. Just cancelled a booking I have with them and rebooked with the discount.

gustafo · 08-06-2017 10:16pm

I think it's after your stay that its applied. That's what it said on my booking anyway when I finished up.

I had a problem with a place in London from booking.com before that double charged me by both taking the cash for the room as I checked in and then also taking it off my card at the same time. That cash was what I had for the trip so resulted in frantic phone calls to the bank trying to figure out why I couldn't get money from the ATM.

abberr · 09-06-2017 6:09pm

I had a problem with a place in Thailand, free cancellation (pay in hotel once you stay) but got charged so I cancelled waiting for refund and instead of refund I got charged again.

I investigated and pushed on booking.com so eventually got everything refunded (wasn't supposed to be charged in the first place) and got a copy of reservation booking.com sends to hotel.

So it was a copy of fax - with all my credit card details - just being emailed to some hotel in phuket in Thailand. No security at all .. I had to cancel the credit card.

I prefer places like Agoda or eBookers as they charge you themselves instead of hotel and than they transfer money to actual hotel.

Yes,can anyone answer this?I've a booking with them in August.So do I cancel,then re-book in dollars?Then just pay the hotel (in euros) using my card,then I'll get $40(in euros) back onto my card?
Does that make sense to anyone??!!!

Daniel112 · 12-06-2017 1:04pm

Just received this email from booking.com but have no idea what to do now! The email doesn't contain any links and the green box isn't clickable!

Tinie · 12-06-2017 3:55pm

When does this offer expire? Thanks

I'd say you prob don't have to do anything should be just lodged into your card that you paid with.
By the way was your booking in euros or dollars?

MarkY91 · 12-06-2017 9:38pm

I've 6 weeks of travelling coming up. Am I better off making a few accounts and taking advantage of this? I've a visa cars and 2 revolut master cards if having more than 1 card is needed..

I booked in Euros :)

ImARebel · 14-06-2017 7:34am

also have had a bad experience with booking.com advertised a room that wasn't available at the property that I paid extra for. They won't accept it's false advertising. Assholes.... I won't be using them again. They are painful to deal with and their customer service crew are so rude.

suave.4u · 19-06-2017 7:47pm

cheers OP, I also booked and got this message:

We hope you have a great trip! After your stay, you will receive an email on receiving your US$40 reward from Booking.com. The reward is paid on your preferred credit card and sent to you shortly afterwards.

MarkY91 · 19-06-2017 9:04pm

Will this work on multiple bookings? I booked twice and seems to have went through twice.

doxy · 19-06-2017 10:41pm

How long after should you get the email?

I stayed at a place this weekend that would only accept cash when I got there (I did reserve the room on booking.com with a debit card though). I'm wondering if I'll still qualify?

toby2111 · 19-06-2017 10:49pm

Has anyone actually got the money back into their account??

andy125 · 21-06-2017 1:08pm

Been nearly 2 weeks since I stayed in hotel and no email, I paid with card also

Oh I just checked there and I did get it back 2 days ago, 35 euro

SmallTeapot · 22-06-2017 12:00am

Thanks Op, just booked using the link for a trip later this year...

Stated in my booking confirmation email that I would receive my cashback after checkout

Coming up to 2 weeks since I stayed at the hotel and have received nothing yet. Is there anything I need to do after my stay eg. leave a reveiw??

Skuxx · 22-06-2017 12:49pm

Offer is still available, booked a hotel in UK for a meeting next week! Thanks OP!

I got it back on my N26 card 3 days after staying in the hotel.
Didn't have to do anything, no review, nothing.

SmallTeapot · 22-06-2017 3:30pm

Quick question:

If I wish to make another booking, can I avail of the offer for a second time and can I use the same account....or do I need to set up a new account?

interlocked · 23-06-2017 2:10pm

Stayed in hotel last Friday, got €35 back in my account yesterday.

camz09 · 24-06-2017 9:10pm

Anyone know if it can be used more than once?? If so, would you be required to use different cards for each time? thanks!

Curb Your Enthusiasm · 02-07-2017 1:40am

have people gotten the cashback multiple times with the same account? My multiple bookings seem to have applied the discount on each confirmation on the same account.

sector_000 · 03-07-2017 10:42am

Just recieved my $40/€35.17!

You booked the other stays on the same account yes?

sector_000 · 03-07-2017 1:03pm

Yep, same account.
Fingers crossed!

gizmo81 · 03-07-2017 1:09pm

FYI:

Got my friend to check his invite and earn section for a booking he made in an Irish Hotel with $40 refund and it's not showing. Showing on mine for both the $40 and €75 refund on American Hotels.

miso1983 · 06-07-2017 10:34pm

Stayed in Killarney on saturday 1st July to 2nd july. Paid 90 euro for the hotel. Got my 34.56 today. Happy days.

I did leave a negative review tho

.. guess you have to leave the review to get reward.

Have another 3 bookings coming up in August so fingers crossed

$40 back a $80 stay on booking.com
