Apple Card Enhances Booking.com Perks for Users

WireByte Staff · August 4, 2026

Apple Card users can now earn Genius Level 2 at Booking.com after just one eligible stay or car rental, unlocking benefits like 10-15% discounts and free breakfast. This partnership offers enhanced Daily Cash rewards and Booking.com Travel Credits.

Key points

  • Apple Card users are upgraded to Booking.com's Genius Level 2 after one eligible stay or car rental, not five bookings within two years.
  • Genius Level 2 unlocks benefits like 10-15% discounts, free breakfast, and room upgrades at select stays.
  • Users receive 3% Daily Cash and 2% Booking.com Travel Credits for booking stays and car rentals with Apple Card and Apple Pay.
  • The partnership is part of a long-standing collaboration between Apple Card and Booking.com.

Apple Card users have gained a new benefit through their partnership with Booking.com. As of now, users can earn Genius Level 2 after completing just one eligible stay or car rental, rather than the usual five bookings within a two-year period. This upgrade unlocks several perks, including discounts of 10-15% on select stays and car rentals, as well as free breakfast and/or room upgrades at select stays.

Booking.com's Genius loyalty program is free to join, and users can take advantage of these benefits when booking stays and car rentals using Apple Card and Apple Pay. This partnership also offers enhanced Daily Cash rewards and Booking.com Travel Credits, making it an attractive option for Apple Card users.

The Samsung Galaxy Card, a new credit card launched by Samsung in partnership with Barclays, offers similar financing options for Samsung Galaxy devices. However, it remains to be seen how this new card will compete with Apple Card's existing benefits and rewards.
