Sadly this campaign has now ended.
______________________
If you are heading away on holiday or perhaps you just fancy heading away on holiday, I have an amazing offer to make it even easier…
I’m so excited to be able to partner with huge worldwide accommodation booking site Booking.com to offer you NZ$40 (€25/US$25) off your next booking ANYWHERE in the world for bookings over NZ$80!
I’m already a fan of Booking.com and use it to browse and book properties all the time, after all they have 1.2 million accommodations so you name it and they’ll have it.
So you can imagine how my eyes lit up when they called and said, “we’re running a campaign and want to offer your readers a discount, you want in?” They’d barely finished speaking before I shouted YES, and here we are.
All you do is jump into their website using my unique link (below) and if you spend over NZ$80 you’ll get a discount of NZ$40 (which equates to about €25, or the local equivalent in your currency) which will be credited back to your card after you’ve stayed and boom, you’re away laughing!
Here is a pic of what you should see on your screen so you know the link is working…

Note: after you have stayed, you will get an email from Booking explaining how to receive your refund onto your credit card.
Also note: you can only use this link once. If you’ve used my unique link ID before you won’t see the above box.

Hi Megan,
your link seems to be no longer working. Would you please check? Thanks
Hi Cherish, you are right. At the moment it is showing my readers the link has expired, but this is a bug and I am told they will give me a new link to resume the promotion over night tonight. If that happens I will be able to add that and we will be off again in the next couple of days. I’ll add another note here when that is done. -Megan
It’s fixed now. I have added a new code and now you’ll see the screen as per the pic above and your cash back will occur after you have stayed. – Megan
Hi Megan, the new link did work for a while, but now it stopped working again…
Hi Cherish, the link only works once per person – or per credit card.
Hello,
I used your link for a hotel almost two weeks ago, but still haven’t received anything back. The status of my booking is that I am still staying at the hotel.
May I expect that I will be credited in the bext two weeks?
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
Stefani
Hi Stefani, within 30 days after you’ve stayed and paid (because the money isn’t taken from your credit card until after you have stayed, hence being able to cancel within a couple of weeks of staying) you’ll get an email explaining how to receive your credit. I gather that if your status says you are still to stay then you haven’t done that yet, or is that the problem? – Megan
Hi Megan, is your link and offer still valid? I clicked on it and it seems it is but just wanted to confirm that it wasn’t expired. Thanks!
Hi Susie, it sure is! As long as this is your first time using my link. You will then claim your $40 back after your stay. They will email you.
Hi Megan,
I love you blog – and particularly this $40 cash back opportunities. We recently went on a road trip to Wellington and I was careful to use tyour link when booking the 3 properties we stayed at. I have had emails from Booking.com telling me to refer a friend, but none with how to redeem the 3 x $40. Can you help me out please.
Stayed in Taupo, Wellington and New Plymouth.
Many thanks,
Hilary
Hi Hilary
I can see a few not-eligible and a couple of cancelled bookings under Hilary on my list. I have no idea why they would be ineligible but here are the terms and conditions. Have a read and if you think it’s wrong let me know and I’ll ask the PR company for Booking.com to look into it. https://www.booking.com/content/referral-terms.en-gb.html?aid=939121;sid=8c0cee76e37fc2805765d9d58a34b0ad

Hi Megan,
I replied to you last night – but can’t see the post here. Did you receive it?
Basically I read the link and I think its saying you can’t use it more than once – which is at odds with your post. I used your link which says you can use it more than once – with all three recent nights – taupo, wellington and new plymouth.
Thanks,
Hilary
Hi Hilary, sorry for the delay. Yes I did get it and forwarded it to the PR and am asking for clarification on why you didn’t get your discount. I’ll email you when I have an answer and am sorry for this hassle.
Megan
Hi Hilary, I’ve just emailed you to sort this out personally for you. So sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi,
I haven’ t received the $40 credit yet – from my stay on the 21/5/17.
Kind Regards,
Darryl
Hi Darryl, I’ve checked my Booking.com admin and all looks in order. I can send your query to them, but just double checking as the credit will be added to the credit card you used to book your room. Just let me know if you don’t see it there and I’ll take it further. – Megan
Hi Megan,
The $40 doesn’t appear to have been credited yet.
Also, we are travelling to the UK and France soon – am I correct tha the $40 credit is for one time only?
Many thanks,
Darryl
Let me follow up and get back to you. And yes, it’s only valid one per person. You could of course use a different credit card! 🙂
Ok, so what happens is once you’ve stayed you get an email from Booking.com with links explaining what to do. Check your email folders, but I have also sent your email address to my contact at the PR company who will check on it for you too.
