Martin Lewis’ Money Saving Expert (MSE) has encouraged travellers to make the most of a £100 bonus reward that could be useful for their trip abroad.
The consumer advice site recommends comparing hotel prices with Hotels.com when making a booking, as its updated loyalty programme allows members to earn £100 back after completing 10 qualifying nights. It notes that this benefit can be especially valuable for those who regularly stay at more affordable hotels.
MSE adds: “There’s no point going for a £100 reward if you could save more than that booking elsewhere”; however, if you could benefit, it may be a no-brainer.
How to get the £100 Hotels.com reward
Explaining how the scheme works and how to maximise your rewards, Hotel.com notes that each stay must meet certain eligibility criteria.
Hotels.com Rewards is free to join, allowing members to earn £100 in Hotels.comCash – the platform’s rewards currency – after completing 10 qualifying nights. Each £1 of Hotels.comCash is worth £1 and can be redeemed at eligible hotels whenever you choose, either all at once or in smaller amounts, with no blackout dates.
To qualify for the reward, your booking must have an average nightly price of £75 or more, including taxes and fees. Nights paid for using Hotels.comCash or vouchers will not be included when calculating whether your booking meets the eligibility criteria.
After completing your 10th eligible night, you will receive your £100 Hotels.comCash reward in your account. There is no need to book all 10 nights at once – you can earn qualifying nights across multiple trips and collect your reward once you reach the required total.
What is Hotels.comCash?
It explains: “Hotels.comCash is our rewards currency. After you stay 10 eligible nights, you receive a £100 reward in the form of Hotels.comCash.
“OneKeyCash earned on other participating brands may be eligible for use and will show in your shared account as Hotels.comCash if so.
“Sometimes you may qualify for extra Hotels.comCash from an eligible offer or promotion on top of what you normally earn. This extra earn won’t appear while you’re shopping or at checkout, but as long as you meet the offer conditions, it will be added automatically as pending Hotels.comCash after your booking and unlock according to the terms and conditions of your offer once you’ve completed your stay.
“These promotional rewards follow the same basic rules as your other Hotels.comCash but may have different expiry dates, so make sure you check the specific offer terms for details.”
When does Hotels.comCash expire?
Pending Hotels.comCash and qualifying nights will remain valid as long as you complete an eligible booking or redeem Hotels.comCash at least once within a 12-month period. Any available Hotels.comCash balance in your account will remain active as long as you make an eligible booking or redeem Hotels.comCash at least once every 18 months.
Travellers should be aware that promotional Hotels.comCash may be subject to different expiry rules. Hotels.com recommends checking the specific terms and conditions of each offer to understand the applicable requirements and validity period.
