Agoda Cashback Points Redemption Useless

“Agoda Cashback Points Redemption Useless”

Most hotels that I have booked through Agoda (and there are quite alot now) give you Agoda cashback points (via the Agoda website). So I am accumulating this nice wee stock pile of points to redeem, however almost all hotels (in Europe at least) that I book through Agoda do not allow you to redeem your Agoda points for a discount.

You enter your credit card details into Agoda but this is only to reserve the room for you NOT for payment. For payment, you pay directly to the hotel so there is NO WAY you can redeem your points. Net result is I have alot of points which are due for expiry and cannot be used ie waste of time accumulating them.
