We’ve seen some pretty good cashback and mileage earnings deals on hotel bookings recently with AAdvantage eShopping offering 10 miles/dollar on Marriott bookings and eBates offering up to 12% cashback on IHG bookings but now TopCashback’s UK site has gone one better by offering up to 20% cash back on UK hotel bookings made through Hotels.com.

To be clear, you need to be a member of TopCashBack.co.uk to take advantage of this deal (it’s not available through the US site) and there are terms and conditions you should be aware of.

Secondly, existing customers will only get 16% cash back and then only if they choose not to earn Hotels.com rewards – that makes this a better deal for short stays as you’ll be giving up less.

Thirdly, the cash back rates shown above are from TopCashback.co.uk ‘Plus’ members – Classic members will earn 4% less.

Bottom Line

There are quite a few restrictions here but if you’re happy to open a new Hotels.com account and to not earn any Hotels.com rewards the 16% – 20% you can earn here should be a fantastic saving to have.

Hotels.com bookings are classified as 3rd party bookings by the big chains so you won’t earn points or elite night credits for stays booked through Hotels.com and you won’t have elite status honored either….but for 20% cash back that may not be all that big of an issue.
