Wow now when u cancel agoda booking (booked on free cancellation) can choose in the form of gift cards. Which is good if u r using those cashback card cause it won’t affect the cashback received.

Cc will still record cancellation. But if it is one mth later and after cashback is awarded, i wonder how cc calculate.

No record leh.
At most they crawl back the full cashback lo cause below minimum spending.

I want to book a hostel in seoul but it seems like it only has the pay later option, no pay now option? Any way which I can opt to pay via credit card?

no other ways, if they mentioned is pay at the hotel, means pay there ...
normally is pay now and pay later (both using credit card), or pay at the hotel.

Yes there r pay at hotel option n no deposit/ payment required. Usually booking.com is like that.

expedia agoda hotels.com booking.com
used all of them before ...

booking.com , more of pay at the hotel, unless yours is nr

expedia have, but not alot (if u pay at the hotel, cant use their promo discount)
agoda, mostly is pay now using cc (for fc or nr) , or later (2days) before arrival date. hardly see they have pay at the hotel ...

agree with u ... agoda normally u pay how much, they refund u back
expedia would have the currency conversions ...

15% is considered alot in Singapore instance for Expedia .
Normally is 10% ... sometimes app price seems lower too ...

I have been choosing Agoda because the price we see is the price we pay (for Pay now) for many years now. Imagine my surprise when the amount differs from my credit card bill.

I did a comparison between my payment mode for Oct and Nov 2017. One was done through Paypal and the other through Apple pay but both using the SAME card.

The one paid via Paypal was charged the exact same amount as what the invoice showed and merchant name is PAYPAL *AGODACOMPAN (which I have confirmed with the bank that it is LOCAL merchant).

The one paid via Apple pay was charged more than the invoice and merchant name is AGODA RESERVATION INTERNET GBR (which I have confirmed with the bank that it is a FOREIGN merchant in UK hence the FX/admin fee will apply by the bank).

Conclusion: Either Agoda has shifted its merchant overseas or the mode that you pay through Agoda is important.

Update: Anything booked through Apple Pay goes through the UK merchant which will incur additional 1% association fee (Visa, Mastercard, etc).

Anything booked through Paypal is considered local so no surprise when you get your credit card bill.

Just to check, if i cancel agoda booking and accepted giftcard as return, will my cc record a cancellation? Same goes for shopback?

The cashback refers to the cc cashback.

I was also refering to both shopback and cc cashback. But it seems like my old order have not been cancelled yet.
