I’ve been using TCB for about 2 years now and clocked up about £1800. I find I just know all the hotels I want to book and I just wait until I see either expedia or hotels.com do a great offer. I managed to snag a number of hotels when hotels.com were doing a 20% cashback offer but I’ve been watching for the last few months and haven’t seen Hotels.com go above 13%. Expedia normally stays at 10% and occasionally goes up to 11-12%.

Its also great for booking breakdown cover, I just switch between the AA and the RAC and get about £60 cashback a year. Car insurance normally gets you £25.

However as other people have said not every company is on there. If you need to book a hotel through booking.com or airbnb they aren’t on there but are on the shopping portal so I always book them through there if I need to. I have definitely found myself using airbnb and booking.com less though because of this, I will try and use vrbo and then because expedia normally list vrbo places see if I can book the same place through expedia to get the 10%.

I normally find the payout arrives within a couple of months.
