Free breakfast and better rooms for the same price: Booking’s trick if you use this Apple service

Apple has launched a very interesting offer for those of us who use an Apple Card: by booking on Booking.com, we can get faster access to Genius and get discounts, free breakfast, and room upgrades after a single booking. What would normally require almost two years is now possible in one go. Let’s see how it works.

Genius Level 2 after a single booking

Usual access to Genius Level 2 requires five bookings over two years. With this promotion, completing an eligible stay or rental with our Apple Card is enough to receive the upgrade. You’ll get the new level as soon as that first booking is completed, according to Booking.com’s official page.

Genius Level 2 gives us discounts of 10 to 15% on certain accommodations and cars, as well as breakfast included and room upgrades at different properties. A single stay now lets us unlock those advantages for our next bookings.

You also get 3% Daily Cash when paying through Apple Pay and 2% in Booking.com credits.

The key is how you pay

To activate the promotion, we need to book from the specific link on the Booking.com page, pay in advance, and choose our Apple Card in Apple Pay at checkout.

While Apple works with Chase on the Apple Card’s future and offers discounts on Apple product purchases through Apple Upgraded, this promotion with Booking is definitely interesting, one of the many Apple Card perks.
