As always, check prices via booking directly at the hotel you want to stay before booking via Booking.com. In some circumstances, it may be cheaper to book / pay directly with the business and forgo the 12% Cashback.

(Some users noted the Booking.com Genius discount stacks with Cashback)

12% cashback valid on purchases made between 10am and 6pm, 12 August 2024.

    Shopback don't payout substantial amounts. They owe me $380 from a booking that was completed in January. The booking was tracked and completed. Shopback are blaming Booking.com but continue to promote their deals.

      I had the other day a Shopback Booking.com payout, all was fine and normal and only took 29 days from completion of the stay to payable in my account.

      • adamjohnson on 12/08/2024 - 14:35

        They seem to payout smaller amounts YMMV

          It was $435.50, granted I paid upfront with zero cancellation. It does take significantly longer if you have chosen to pay at the property as the property does need to send the commission to Bookings.com.

    • itsmoe on 12/08/2024 - 14:39

      I have the same issue with booking.com but through raiz, says tracked for 242.13 and then says reversed for 161.50 and still nothing for more than 4 weeks now. Shocking! Paid in full too.

      It's always a gamble 😂 Don't take it too seriously.

      Now I make my Booking.com via Bupa rewards, usually a good deal is there

      • CyberMurning on 12/08/2024 - 15:36

        agree. tracked means nothing.

    • sqheaven on 12/08/2024 - 14:49

      Just checked, Bupa has 15% discount lol

      They paid me like a breeze as well..

      Total 21% discount. 6% paid back by booking.com if you use your master card. Have to use before September

      • CodeXD on 12/08/2024 - 14:54

        Never knew Bupa has a rewards systems!

        For a limited time, save 15% on participating accommodation with the Getaway Deal 2024 deals with Booking.com when you book and stay before 30 September 2024

        Damn looking to book for Octover 2024, looks like shopback will have to do!

      • CyberMurning on 12/08/2024 - 15:37

        damn didnt know wohoo will boook tonight
        where is the 6% clause?

            @CodeXD: fyi i see the t&c says only certain properties indicated by the "getaway deal " badge not sure what that is

            • CodeXD on 12/08/2024 - 16:44

              @CyberMurning: It is explained in the t&c

              Minimum 15% savings available on new accommodation bookings at participating properties indicated by the ‘Getaway Deal’ badge on the search results and room selection pages.

              • CyberMurning on 12/08/2024 - 16:47

                @CodeXD: yeah so need to be careful also some room doesnt have that green getaway deal so make sure read - not just hotel, but each room types

        re the bupa offer
        i see the t&c says only certain properties indicated by the "getaway deal " badge - its the green label.

        • sqheaven on 12/08/2024 - 16:47
          +1

          Yes. I booked the one with the badge. Otherwise, nothing comes back from booking.com.

          You'd get the 15% reflect in your checkout I guess, 6% back from bookings

          • CyberMurning on 12/08/2024 - 16:49

            @sqheaven: ah yes 6% back as wallet credit ie only can be used with bookings.com again but not bad hopefully never expire

            • sqheaven on 12/08/2024 - 16:50

              @CyberMurning: When I booked last year, they paid me the entire 21% as a single payment. I paid the full amount in the checkout.

              Hopefully, it would be a lot better than gambling with shopback losers.

              • CyberMurning on 12/08/2024 - 16:52

                @sqheaven:

                1. All Credits have an expiration date, which you'll find in the Rewards & Wallet activity of your Wallet.

            @sqheaven: @sqheaven can we book from bookings.com app if going via bupa app? i seems to open website only on my mobile. are the prices on boookings.com same between app and website?

              @CyberMurning: I don't suggest using the phone. Use your PC. You will see when you are redirected from Bupa, there is a banner which says you are using Bupa's affiliate link lol

              • CyberMurning on 12/08/2024 - 18:59

                @sqheaven: Ah yes see that banner too. Okay. I just thought using app will give us futher discount but probably not bookings.com but i got mixed up with others (maybe agoda)

                    @sqheaven: Im consufed. On the very last page booking but i cant see the discount provided by bupa. I mean there is a big discount but it says bonus saving, from the hotel (18%)
                    And then 10% discount genius.

      I just got back from a recent around the world trip.
      Had over 1k in cashback (booked a few months out) using these promos.

      all paid out no problems. did all my withdrawls last week.

      So happy with the service.

    • DingoBilly on 12/08/2024 - 17:02

      I have none of the issues others mention.

      Have had hundreds of dollars paid out by booking. Com/shopback.

      The price on site is always way cheaper. I just booked accommodation for $1500 that was $2700 on the hotel website for example. If I check on booking.com with a logged out account it's $2200. Genius discount and shopback make it way cheaper.

      Not sure what I'm doing different but booking.com and shopback have been great for me.

      • BigBirdy on 12/08/2024 - 17:34

        I find a small number of property prices go up using Booking.com (& other online agents) when clicking thru from Shopback. Agoda is one of the worst, sometimes with big price hikes. I also find some prices go down when clicking thru from an aggregator, like TripAdvisor, probably because they know you're comparing prices.

        Hotels.com is also a good place to try. It doesn't have the large cashbacks, but it's free night after 10 stays has worked well for me. This can be stacked with it's typical 3% cashback. Occasionally it even has the best price.

        • ddhar on 12/08/2024 - 18:03

          I never turn on cashback with Agoda for this very reason! Fortunately Agoda prices are often the lowest for me so that's okay. Unfortunately also I can't pay in the local currency so invariably end up paying AUD through Agoda's conversion rate.

      • King Khanh on 12/08/2024 - 20:00

        Just tested this theory,

        Looking at hotels for Cairns in July next year.
        10-20% more expensive… what the f…

        Novotel Cairns
        Crystalbrook

    • WhatsTheBigDeal on 12/08/2024 - 19:58

      Yes I'd go with the same % with Cashrewards anytime cos it tracks easily and paid on time. Last experience was close to $750 cashback amount from a $6000+ booking for a family holiday last December.

  • s26f84 on 12/08/2024 - 14:37

    i did booking without shopback last weekend! shopback showed 40% markup on booking without shopback. unsure if anyone faced same before.

    • Igaf on 12/08/2024 - 16:09
      -1

      There's almost always a markup but 40% is way ott.

      As Scrimshaw suggested : As always, check prices via booking directly at the hotel you want to stay before booking via Booking.com. In some circumstances, it may be cheaper to book directly with the business. I'd go further and suggest you ring the hotel you're keen on and ask for their best price (tell them what you're getting obviously). Many reasons - no hassles with cashback, you can ask about room location options, and you may even get a slight discount or free/cheap breakfast option in lieu.

    • tee cee on 12/08/2024 - 17:09

      Definitely the prices are marked up when using Shopback. Only when they increase the cashback amount to say 10-15%. On the standard 5% the prices are actually better.

  • adamjohnson on 12/08/2024 - 14:39

    IMO the 11% Expedia through Cashrewards a better deal as no foreign transaction

    • JVHifi on 12/08/2024 - 14:51

      I’m finding because you can’t book via app for cashback on Expedia, the cashback is worthless. The hotel I’m looking at is around 10% higher on their website as opposed to the app. Unless I’m doing something wrong

      • h4lcyon on 12/08/2024 - 19:29

        I've sometimes found booking is cheaper on mobile web (equiv to app pricing) vs desktop web.

    You can combine Genius & Cashback

      Can you explain?

    • BigBirdy on 12/08/2024 - 16:24

      Clicking thru Shopback to the Booking.com webpage shows the logo at the top In partnership with Shopback while offering (me) 10% Genius discount on selected properties. The appearance is certainly that they stack, Genius and cashback.
      Clicking thru Shopback to the Booking.com app also shows the Genius discounts, plus a few in-app discounted properties. I assume they stack, but it's not clear.

    • crazyperpman on 12/08/2024 - 16:35

      From my experience the Genius discount disappears as soon as you activate CB/SB.

  • CDG on 12/08/2024 - 14:51

    how many booking can i make?

  • Kaiserschmarrn on 12/08/2024 - 14:58

    Ive found i can always get better prices than the cashback price and my genius discount when im NOT logged in to my account lol.

  • DraggyX on 12/08/2024 - 15:03

    Do they still jack the prices after click thru SB?

    • CyberMurning on 12/08/2024 - 16:20

      its their business model what else do you expect.

  • sitdowndisco on 12/08/2024 - 15:18

    You really need to check in a logged out account, an account with genius on it, also clicking through shopback vs not clicking through shopback and finally, mobile vs desktop. The prices on booking.com are so variable that simply clicking through shopback doesn't always get you the best deal. It often does, but not always.

  • PhilToinby on 12/08/2024 - 15:34

    Booking.com has its place, but it is absolutely worth checking with the hotel directly via their website or their own rewards program. In my experience of staying at Hilton's and various Accor hotels, booking direct with them is significantly better

  • CyberMurning on 12/08/2024 - 15:38

    just last night comparing sb and klook, pretending i can get 12% from sb, versus 10% off straight from klook.
    klook was cheaper.

      Agoda is the worst culprit.

      • RogueWolf on 12/08/2024 - 17:56

        Booking/agoda are both shocking, rates go up equivalent of cashback, don’t know how it’s legal, had to book a heap of stuff recently barely got any cashback as it didn’t make sense once activated, never was this bad years ago

    • tee cee on 12/08/2024 - 17:12

      Also their loyalty program genius is the same. Log in with VPN and check same hotel works out cheaper than Genius level 3 and all of its discounts. What a joke.

  • BigBirdy on 12/08/2024 - 17:38

    We calculate Cashback based on the purchase price, excluding:

    Fees
    Taxes
    Service charges
    Booking fees
    Credit card charges

    My cashback seems to be tracking at slightly over 12% of the total price paid

  • smeng on 12/08/2024 - 17:54

    dumb question, but in order to get the deal you have to select pay now right ?

    • BigBirdy on 13/08/2024 - 13:52
      +1

      Nah, don’t think so.

      Here’s a couple of examples I had that successfully paid out …

      Prepaid Booking (to Booking.com)
      10/07/2023 Booked CRMI (motel) $138.00, paid in full
      10/07/2023 ShopBack tracked at $7.60
      17/07/2023 Stay at CRMI
      07/10/2023 ShopBack confirmed at $7.56, from purchase of $137.28 (5.5%)

      Postpaid Booking (to motel)
      20/07/2023 Booked EPMI (motel) $304.00, no prepayment
      20/07/2023 ShopBack tracked at $16.82
      22/07/2024 Stay at EPMI, pay $304.00 to motel
      xx/xx/2023 ShopBack confirmed at $16.84, from purchase of $306.22 (5.5%)

      Further, at EPMI they have notices in reception, and in the room, and the manager told me, that Booking.com take a large cut and it’s better to book directly, but their direct price was higher than the net amount I paid (after cashback), as well as less convenient, so that was silly. They pay Booking.com via a statement at the end of each month.

      • smeng on 13/08/2024 - 18:18

        thanks for letting me know, the deal is over now but will come in handy next time thank you

  • SuiCid3 on 12/08/2024 - 20:19

    The range of discounts that gets applied to these booking sites are ridiculous.
    There's new customer discount, first time visit discount, mobile device discount, returning visitor discount, member discount, cashback discounts.
    Some hotels are worse than others.
    The only way to check you're getting the best discount is to go through various booking methods.

  • CDG on 12/08/2024 - 21:48

    made 5 booking, all tracked

  • adamjohnson on 21/08/2024 - 15:16
