- Silver: Get 15 per cent or more off member pricing for 10,000+ hotels, plus three per cent OneKeyCash (aka rewards points) towards future stays and hotel food or drink perks.
- Gold: Save 20 per cent or more on thousands of hotels, plus room upgrade and 4 per cent OneKeyCash and hotel food or drink perks.
- Platinum: All of the above, plus six per cent OneKeyCash and VIP customer support.
You earn ‘OneKeyCash’ reward points on eligible bookings, starting at two per cent, the reward amount increases with each tier listed above. These accumulated reward points can be used towards future hotel or car hire bookings.
As well as Hotels.com, the One Key membership can be used on partner sites Expedia and Vrbo, meaning more opportunities to build up your perks and discounts.
You will automatically build up your OneKeyCash pot in your account after completing eligible trips, and your balance won’t expire, as long as you make at least one eligible booking within 18 months.
