If you settle your travel bookings like air tickets and hotel stays via online, then you will love shopback.sg as much as I do. Imagine getting some bucks back as a form of cashback after purchasing your travel needs. Too good to be true?
Well, the concept behind is rather straightforward. Shopback.sg is an affiliate marketer to various travel merchants like Expedia.com.sg, Hotels.com, Agoda.com, Air France, Qatar Airways and even Groupon!
Shopback.sg will receive a commission for every sale it generates on these travel sites. And in turn, it will pass on some of the earnings back to shoppers like you and me. That cashback is in addition to whatever points/ rewards which you will be getting from the merchants and your credit cards.
For example, the cashback offers at shopback.sg of the above-mentioned travel merchants are as follow;
- Expedia.com.sg @ 8.0%
- Hotels.com @ 6.0%
- Agoda.com @ S$10.00
- Air France @ 1.0%
- Qatar Airways @ 1.0%
- Groupon @ 10.0%
Perhaps to illustrate better with these scenarios;
Scenario 1 (what I used to do)
1. Head to Hotels.com to search and book my hotel room
2. Collect 3 miles* per S$1.00 spent locally with my DBS Altitude Card
3. Clock in 1 night for Hotels.com Rewards Program after the stay
Say the hotel stay is S$200 per night means I would get to;
(A) Collect 600 Miles on my DBS Altitude Card
(B) Clock in 1 night stay for Hotels.com Rewards (1 free night after 10 nights stay)
*Current DBS promotion for online Flight and Hotel transactions, the usual is 1.2 miles per S$1.00 spent locally.
Scenario 2 (what I’m doing now)
1. Head to shopback.sg and look for Hotels.com under Travel category, click on Hotels.com link to register your visit *important!
2. Collect 3 miles* per S$1.00 spent locally with my DBS Altitude Card
3. Clock in 1 night for Hotels.com Rewards Program after the stay
4. Collect 6% cashback from shopback.sg after the stay (Hotels.com offers 6% rebate currently)
Now, it’s similar to what I will be getting in Scenario 1 but with additional cashback YEAH!!
(A) Collect 600 Miles on my DBS Altitude Card
(B) Clock in 1 night stay for Hotels.com Rewards (1 free night after 10 nights stay)
(C) Collect S$12.00 from shopback.sg
*Current DBS promotion for online Flight and Hotel transactions, the usual is 1.2 miles per S$1.00 spent locally.
For my upcoming trip to Europe in November, while the air tickets which was sadly done without shopback.sg. I have booked 10 nights of accommodation out of a total of 13 with it (The other 3 was booked directly with the hotels). So I will be looking at a cashback of S$102.00, which is not too bad at all!!
The cashback breakdown of S$102 comes from;
Agoda.com S$10.00
Hotels.com S$78.00
Accor Hotel S$14.00
If only shopback.sg was around long ago, I would have gotten back much more LOL. But well, it’s better late than never right? Go on and sign up at their website, find travel deals with ShopBack and start earning your cashback now!!
Hi will you be able to still claim for hotels.com best price guarantee AND still earning the cashback from shopback?
Hi Irene, pardon my late reply. I do get the cashback for my bookings. And thanks for dropping by!
