Apple Card holders now have an expedited path to enhanced benefits on Booking.com. Typically, users must complete five bookings within two years to attain Genius Level 2 status. However, Apple Card users can now achieve this level after just one eligible stay or car rental.
Booking.com’s Genius loyalty program offers escalating perks across its tiers. At Level 2, members enjoy discounts ranging from 10% to 15% on select accommodations and car rentals. Additionally, they may receive complimentary breakfast and room upgrades at participating properties.
This collaboration builds upon the existing partnership between Apple Card and Booking.com. Previously, Apple Card users received 3% Daily Cash when booking through Booking.com using Apple Pay. They also earned 2% in Booking.com Travel Credits, enhancing the value of their travel expenditures.
By streamlining access to Genius Level 2, Apple Card and Booking.com are providing users with immediate value, making travel more rewarding from the outset. This move underscores the growing trend of financial and travel services integrating to offer consumers more seamless and beneficial experiences.
