The Guestbook has launched an instant cash-back hotel booking rewards program, a first in the travel industry. Members earn 5% cash back on room rates at more than 300 participating hotels worldwide, plus an additional 5% cash back on qualifying restaurant and spa purchases at participating properties. Enrollment is free, and members may book through The Guestbook platform or directly on a property’s website.
Redeeming cash back is straightforward. Participants can choose from options such as PayPal deposits or gift cards from major retailers. The Guestbook also supports stacking rewards, allowing members to combine cash-back earnings with other loyalty or rewards programs where permitted.
“Today’s business and leisure travelers want competitive rates and a personalized stay experience, which can be hard to get through generic online travel sites,” said James Gancos, founder of The Guestbook. “Our instant gratification booking and rewards program reconnects travelers and hotels, enhances the guest experience, and helps build loyalty.”
The program features independent and boutique hotels in popular destinations across the United States and Europe. New members currently receive a $25 bonus reward applied to their first booking made during the holiday season.
