Hotels.com Rewards: How to Get the Most from Every Booking

Hotels.com offers a rewards programme that links nights stayed to benefits that accumulate with every booking you make. Here's how to make the most of it.

The One Key programme

Join the free One Key programme from Hotels.com — you earn One Key Cash points with every eligible booking and redeem them as discounts on future stays.

How to earn points

• Complete your stay booked through Hotels.com (fully-priced bookings typically earn better rewards).
• The more you book, the higher your programme tier (Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum) and the greater the benefits.

How to use your points

Redeem your points as a direct discount (One Key Cash) on your next booking through Hotels.com, Expedia, or VRBO — all on the shared One Key platform.

Tips to maximise your benefits

• Always book directly through Hotels.com (not comparison sites) to ensure your points are recorded.
• Activate your account before completing any booking.
• Read booking details — some very low prices may not qualify for earning points.
• Pay with a prepaid Hotels.com card to set your budget in advance.

FAQ

Is the rewards programme free? Yes — registration is completely free. Do points expire? They may if your account is inactive — check the programme's terms. Can I use points on any hotel? On eligible hotels and apartments on the platform.
