Rewards FAQs

    • How do I claim my reward?

      If your reward is being paid to your credit card:

      All you need to do is create a Booking.com account, then add a credit card for receiving rewards. Go to "Settings" to add/update your credit card info. 30–60 days after checking out of your stay, we’ll send the reward to your card. Don’t have an account? Create one here.

      If your reward is being paid in travel credit to your Booking.com Wallet:

      All you need is a Booking.com account. The email in your account should match the one used to make your booking using your reward offer. After checking out of your stay, we’ll add the reward amount to your account's Booking.com Wallet. Don’t have an account yet? Create one here.

      If your reward is an instant discount:

      All you have to do is select "Pay Now" when you pay. Your reward will be discounted from the price of your booking automatically. However, not all properties offer a Pay Now option. Properties that do offer Pay Now often support other online payment methods like iDeal or PayPal. Look for the Pay Now option on the Final Details page (right before finalizing your booking).
