Yep that’s right, for 48 hours (hurry, ends Friday at 11.59pm) we’re offering members £20 cashback on all of your Hotels.com bookings. All we ask if you don’t make more than one booking per person and that the booking is for at least £20 (there are a few more Terms and Conditions, make sure you read them below).
So how do you earn your cashback?
1.Make sure you’ve signed up or signed in - you’ve done this bit, go you!
2.Find a hotel room on Hotels.com - click the button below and search Hotels.com for a hotel. Do not use the search function on EarnAway as you will not find Hotels.com listed.
3.Earn cashback - once you make your booking, your £20 cashback will track into your account (normally within around 6 hours) and we’ll pay you this money around 6 weeks after you’ve completed your stay. You’ll earn £20 cashback on any Hotels.com booking made up to Friday 27th May at 11.59pm so if you book a £20 hotel room (though admittedly these may be tough to find), the room is completely free. If the room costs more you can still earn £20 cashback. Again, to reiterate the offer is only valid once per person and any subsequent bookings will not be paid.
Although the booking needs to be made by Friday 27th May at 11.59pm, your stay can be for whenever.
So some great deals to be had, and all we ask you to do in exchange is tell your friends about EarnAway (you can even make money doing that) and come back to EarnAway and use us to book your future hotel rooms (we promise to ensure you get the best deal on ALL your hotel bookings).

Hi Raj, we're working in partnership with Hotels.com. So when one of our members make a booking on Hotels.com, Hotels.com passes this information back to us. We give you the commission that we make from Hotels.com in the form of cashback. Hope that makes sense.

Hey that's exactly the process, well done it's not clear to most :smiley:. The hotel notifies the booking provider (in this case Hotels.com) who then notify the Affiliate Network (who track the activity). The hotel then pays the network who pay us. It is pretty inefficient and so it can take between 6-8 weeks after checkout (depending upon how efficient the three parties are) before the cashback is payable. We're looking at ways to speed that up (e.g. try and get paid immediately if you can't cancel the room) but the providers are obviously not entirely happy with this.

Also worth noting that HUKD itself has links to Maple Syrup Media too. All very secretive, but essentially, all these companies - Quidco, EarnAway, HUKD - are owned by the same people.
One thing that these brands have in common - awful websites. EarnAway website didn't work for me. Took ages to load on a superfast connection. Couldn't be bothered so went elsewhere.

It doesn't make sense to me. How does Earnaway would know about hotels.com booking?

Thanks, but it doesn't mentioned on the earnaway website. I'm not sure why this is being advertised through Hotukdeals. Surely you can update you website with this offer.

Hey, please go through this link, if you're already signed in, else go through the sign up process from this post. Hope that helps.
Well, I for one want to say a big thankyou it will certainly be of use to me. Out of interest, how long does it go from say Tracked status to Payable. I guess the hotel actually has to confirm you completed the hotel stay first, so does the hotel notify Hotels.com first , before they then notify you? Sounds like could be a lengthy process? How long does this process take before a transaction goes to Payable after completing the stay?
