Another ~£18 (20 Euros) Booking.com Discount

Yesterday the Deal Daddy posted about a promotion that PayPal is currently running, which offers a £20 discount when you spend £150+ with Booking.com. You can register for that offer here.

I was having a read through the terms and conditions and noticed that there are actually two different promotions that you can take advantage of – the £20 discount, and a 20 Euro discount (register here.) 

The general promo terms are clear that “you may save both the Euro offer and the Pound Sterling offer” and I have successfully registered both on my account.

Both offers state that you need to pay by 14th July, but the stay can be anytime between now and the end of the year. The Pounds Sterling offer only applies to stays in the UK and the Euro offer only applies to stays in Eurozone countries.

Bottom line

Both of these offers are effectively a discount of 13.3% on Booking.com reservations. I normally aim to get significantly more than that back from my hotel stays (cashback, hotel points, etc), but Booking.com does provide a lot of accommodation options and discounts/rebates of more than 4% are rare.

    Is it the location (UK or EU) or the Payment method (£ or Euro) will determine whether the cashback is paid or not?
    Assume you can book EU accommodation in £ and vice versa.

      I think the currency (at least the default currency) is decided by the location/ which paypal link you click. Switching it may or may not work in practice, but to be certain, I’d stick to the terms.
