Hi guys,

First time I post a deal on Ozbargain and I am not an English native so sorry if there is some mistakes…

I found this deal on Dealabs.com, a french like of Ozbargain.

Basically, book any hotel on Booking.com for a minimum amount of 225€ (338 AUD) and get 75€ (112.5 AUD) Back.

You have to click on the link and check that there is an insert below with this message:
"Book now and get € 75 back!
All you have to do is book and you'll get € 75 back after your stay! Minimum booking cost € 225."

    how does it work? booking price is automatically deducted?

    • Kods on 10/07/2017 - 11:22

      No, it's a cashback on your CB after your stay.

      • NigelTufnel on 10/07/2017 - 11:31

        cashback or store creditback?
        As in, does the €75 go back into my bank account/card where I can use it to buy other things, or does it go on my booking.com account and can only spend it on other bookings at booking.com?

        • knobbs on 10/07/2017 - 11:35

          Pretty sure it is cash back, I misread the T&C in my comment below, apologies.

          @knobbs: Yeah, looks like it. Here's the translated dealabs post about it.

          You will be credited with 75 € (after confirmation / validation of your booking) via the CB with which you paid

    • knobbs on 10/07/2017 - 11:26

      Looks to be a sort of 'store credit' from what I can tell.

      Edit. My bad I read incorrectly, the credit is forfeited if you do not supply them with a card linked to your login. It does go back as credit to your card.

    • tzd116 on 10/07/2017 - 11:37
      +10

      No, you pay full price and get that 75 euro credited into your credit card after your stay. Please note that it's best not to use Amex for this deal as this is in T&C "American Express is not currently an accepted credit card."

    Screenshot the offer page also.

    Have had many issues with these sorts of deals over my life.

  • No Child Support on 10/07/2017 - 11:53

    Anyone had experience with these sort of promos from bookings.com? How long can we expect to get the cashback into our accounts?

    • hamza23 on 10/07/2017 - 11:59

      From the previous US$40 back offer, I received an email from booking.com the day I checked out/got back asking for my credit card details as follows:

      Welcome back!
      We hope you enjoyed your trip! Now that you've stayed, it's time to cash in on the reward we promised.
      Note: We can put your rewards money faster on Visa cards due to recent changes in Mastercard regulations. Although not all Mastercard credit/debit cards are affected, at this time we cannot guarantee that your rewards money will be paid on Mastercard.

      I entered Visa details on Sunday and got the cash on my credit card Tuesday. I didn't try AmEx, I thought I'd just enter Visa to be safe as AmEx wasn't issued above.

      • nickeveli on 10/07/2017 - 12:56

        From my experience they do not allow cashback to be paid to AmEx.

      • Skrambled on 03/09/2017 - 23:04

        anyone used Mastercard recently? Late August/September?

    • tzd116 on 10/07/2017 - 14:18
      +1

      I booked something last week but it's for a stay in October. So, don't know how long.
      BUT, did receive this email probably 3 days after the booking:
      "Receiving your € 75 reward from Booking.com

      We hope you have a great trip! After your stay, you will receive an email on receiving your € 75 reward from Booking.com. The reward is paid on your preferred credit card and sent to you shortly afterwards.

      Earn money by referring your friends

      Now that you've booked, why not earn yourself a little extra spending money for your trip? Refer your friends yourself, and you'll get a reward each time one of them books and stays (max 10 friends) - your friend will get the reward too!

      To get earning, simply share the link below with your friends."

    I'd rather have up front discount TBH…all these cashback things aren't all that reliable especially if you happen to use a coupon to book. Nowadays I pretty much just bother with CheapTickets 16% off.

    • bargrin on 10/07/2017 - 14:58
      +3

      yup agree, but good thing about this deal it (seems) to work on all hotels including those that the 16% dont work on, namely the big branded hotels

  • povertytrap on 10/07/2017 - 12:11

    I had similar experience to hamza23. Would recommend.

  • maybeamacy on 10/07/2017 - 12:14

    Do you have to book in Euros?

    Does the card you book with have to be the same card presented to the hotel to get the cash-back?

  • dw121212 on 10/07/2017 - 12:36

    Could this be over multiple nights?

  • summerhot on 10/07/2017 - 12:44

    Do I have to be the first time user? I have already had account and booked hotels before. If I go through the link and book with my account, can I still get cash back?

  • Coffeesnod8 on 10/07/2017 - 13:18

    So, do I book and pay in AUD, but I get a refund in pounds? Should I use my 28 degrees for the booking (it is a mastercard though)? Does a refund of pounds get charged a international transaction fee if I don't use my 28 degrees card? So many question :(

    You can request the refund to go to a different credit card than the one used to pay.

  • povertytrap on 10/07/2017 - 13:37

    Under "All Bookings" the promotion will show as follows:

    Friend Booking Status

    My checkout date is 24 July 2017 so I assume it means they will pay the cashback +2 days.

    After looking into this a lot closer it seems to be a bit of a have

    For example,
    Grand Mercure Phuket Patong from 10/10/17 to 15/10/17 (5 nights) is AUD$787 if I go through the Ozbargain link. so AU$787 - EUR75 is AU$675

    Alternatively, buying this through the australian expedia is $664. So its actually cheaper if I dont use the discount.

    • muncan on 10/07/2017 - 23:03

      Yes always shop around when booking hotels. I booked a hotel the other day with Priceline.com which was several hundred cheaper than all the big guys for a 1 week stay. Booking confirmation email came from Agoda. Next day I'm seeing Agoda ads everywhere for my hotel so I have a peek… not only is my hotel $50 cheaper it includes breakfast whereas my original booking did not. Thank you very much free cancellation policy and the breakfasts they're "paying us" $50 to eat. ;-)
      Just had a sticky beak again for same hotel with this deal… it's $500 more than I paid, and without breakfast. So yea, nah.

  • Repstar on 10/07/2017 - 19:59

  • griftr on 02/08/2017 - 08:58

    Anybody know if this works for hotels marked with "Low rate - no money back"? Is that referring to no refund or not eligible for this promo I wonder…

    • Bargain-er on 02/08/2017 - 09:41

      Hmmm that's a good question. I picked the low rate - no money back but till got this message:

      FREE cancellation before 23:59 on 28 August 2017
      You can cancel or change your booking easily and for free! Simply follow the link from your confirmation email

      AND

      After your booking has been verified and confirmed, you'll receive your € 75 reward!

      So… not sure what it means

      • SydChamp on 02/08/2017 - 10:28

        No Money Back - just means you can't cancel it, if you can cancel no refund. I booked the same cheap rate with NO money back but still got an eamil for cash back 75

        • griftr on 02/08/2017 - 14:53

          Thanks SydChamp. I took the chance and made my bookings assuming that was the case. Same as andri77, i gor the "booking has been verified…" message.

          I used 4 cards to make 4 bookings for 2 rooms. I could have gone 6 bookings and created a reservation for each and every day (staying 3 nights) but chose to minimise the risk of being moved around by booking 2 days + 1 day. The confirmation of the credit came through for the VISA card but the 3x Mastercards are still waiting…. once was a debit card.

          Will update if anything new comes to light.

        • Bargain-er on 08/08/2017 - 08:34

          My Visa bookings seem to have it but not the master card. Wondering if we still got the refund regardless. The email stated € 75 should be refunded but not in the web. Thanks.

        • griftr on 09/08/2017 - 06:26

          @andri77: only the account with the VISA card has been charged and an email sent confirming the cash back entitlement. The 3x Master Card used still hasn't been charged so no email confirmation has come through.

      • acidantics on 05/08/2017 - 13:17

        My rebate came into my account yesterday. I got $107 back. Strange that @reveen got $113 back. Maybe it's due to euro fluctuation.

          I actually received $116.43 into my Visa credit card which came out to $113.14 after a $3.29 fee:

          31 Jul 2017 CRED VOUCHER BOOKING.COM_XXXXXXXXXX BELFAST GB FRGN AMT: 75.00 EUROPEAN MONETARY COOP FUND $113.14

          Should've used a fee free foreign exchange card to receive the refund. You live and learn.

          (BTW I definitely received $113.14 nett. The formatting Westpac use above is confusing but I reconciled the figures against my closing balance to make sure.)

          Also I'll add that the entire process varied after I made a second booking for later on in the year, ranging from differently formatted e-mail confirmations to cashback quoted in AUD for an overseas stay. Whereas the first booking cashback, a local stay, was in EUR. See my comment here where a banner in AUD was displayed.

          This is a good promo but it is all over the place as there is no consistency.

      where it says "Go to Deal" in the top right of this page. Under the image of the swimming pool. Here's the underlying link https://www.ozbargain.com.au/goto/317791

      When you get to the booking.com website, there'll be a floating/sticky green bar at the bottom of the screen with details of the promotion.
