    I only get the 'Don't forget, you'll get your e75 after you complete your stay' if I go through the OP link. It's not there if I just go to booking.com as normal. Is this still ok? There's nothing on the email either. It's a new booking from yesterday

    I think this is secretly an IQ test. And the results aren't too flattering.

    Did you scroll down the end of the page? It's underneath the reward total on mine.

    If not try book again.

    Click the link in the OP make sure the green banner is there, complete the booking. Then go back and check the invite and earn.

    Yip. Can't cancel now as it's not refundable. But the banner was there when I was booking. I'll see in October in I get it or not anyway :)

    Thanks all, didn't realise I could look up the rewards part. Was wondering how/why I couldn't see any mention of the €75 off anywhere on the booking.

    I have a pending booking there, I assume that's the one?

    Yep, like one of my bookings states 'under review'.

    Did you use this link?

    https://www.booking.com/index.en-gb.html?aid=339530;label=refer-UmFuZG9tSVYkc2RlIyh9YRJR2a5OI-C65IcxO70gaeZmOjc1ilaUjwdmkv191PyPB0ZKldpUroxqcba0JKISQA;sid=0ad19f198bf2387f4624a13114e199e7;sb_price_type=total&

    If you did, then log into your account and beside the log in details at the top you'll see 'invite and earn' at the top of the page, click here and scroll down to bottom to see if it's there.

    Debit card is fine

    Do you need to pay with the card you used to book to get back the €75? Didn't see anything about that in the t&c.

    Thanks to the OP if this works!

    Have you read the t&c....think you have to leave a review etc


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,389 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    booked a hotel there, in the invoice & earn nothing about the €75
    just has this
    BOOKING : Under review
    The status of this booking will be available soon.



    but it does say in the email that I get €75 back... if it happens its a really good deal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 310 ✭✭luvlyjubbly


    Thanks very much OP. Just to confirm I completed the stay and a few days later got credited the €75. Also paid with a different card but refunded to original card.

    Same here, just got the €75! I love free monies :D

    Does it still work for new bookings? When does it expire?

    It worked for me earlier this week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 128 ✭✭north south east west


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭mel.b


    Thanks OP. Just rebooked 3 stays I had booked for Dec for the same prices but am now getting the €75 off each one and have booked another stay that needed to be booked, also now getting €75 off :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭valor


    when do you get the 75 euro credited to you? my relevant stay ended a few days ago, wondering how long it takes

    Less than a week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,178 ✭✭✭killbillvol2


    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.

    Can this be applied to existing bookings?

    Wasn't showing up on existing bookings. I was lucky my hotels were still available at the same price so i cancelled and rebooked

    No rebook if possible.

    Just booked two nights in October for the wedding anniversary - deal is still on! Great find op


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,093 ✭✭✭cletus


    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)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭iPhone.


    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.

    See do you get it back first


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,914 ✭✭✭Polar101


    Nice one, was just booking a €250 stay in August so won't mind getting some free money back :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 377 ✭✭Whipping Boy


    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?

    Of course


  • Registered Users Posts: 714 ✭✭✭feelgoodinc27


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

    worked for me on a new booking yesterday too


  • Registered Users Posts: 713 ✭✭✭soirish


    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?

    Then how would the give you the €75?


  • Registered Users Posts: 713 ✭✭✭soirish


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


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 875 ✭✭✭mean gene


    can this work twice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,644 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    I made two bookings on same account and both have the 75 promised. I assume I will get it twice??

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭joeKel73


    Just used this for a €280 last minute booking for this coming week - thanks OP!

    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.
