@David ******
thanks that’s excellent. I thought they might be using their crappy ATM conversion. I fear accidentally hitting yes when i am not concentrating.

@Julane ******
yeah I won’t book anymore with it. Because it just doesn’t always happen. Also if you read small print. If under a certain amount Agoda also take a certain amount. Example ,can’t remember exactly $1US so most times you get nothing anyway.Major Scam. I just wish all these boggy people would latch onto this and expose them. Unfortunately I am just way too old to fully get into it. Sad but true.🍻

@Ryan ******
totally agree. I always book just one or 2 night blocks to get my total stay. Cheaper. And if the hotel turns out not to be what you expected. Most have cancelation these days and I just cancel the remaining days and find somewhere else

We have been travelling in Asia over 2 years now.

Some tips.

Check prices using different VPN locations.

Clear your browser history.

Some of the cheapest prices I get from the same company come from when I go to Google maps. Search hotels in that area I want. Select the hotel. The prices here are usually cheaper than Agoda is quoting me as a VIP member. It is absolute bullshit really. They are such scammers.

@Leon ***
clearing your browser history too results in cheaper prices too.

@Zeki *******
agree Agoda is always cheaper for me. They are both owned by the same holdings company anyway.

also the hotel has to confirm this cash back thing. In 700 nights of hotel bookings in the last 2 years I can tell you in my experience 30% dont and you never see it anyway.

Check their prices with different VPN locations and clear your browser history. You will be amazed at the different prices you get quoted. Often cheapest if you go to Agoda via trip advisor app too.
