Best credit card to use at Booking.com.

Travel

Booking.com is one of the largest global online travel agencies, owned by Booking Holdings (which also owns Priceline, Kayak, and Agoda). Bookings code as travel on every card we track. The honest catch: hotel chains typically do NOT credit Booking.com stays toward elite-night or status counts, and many properties exclude OTA stays from earning their loyalty points — so a Hilton/Marriott/Hyatt loyalist almost always books direct. Booking's own Genius rewards tier and occasional 10% off promos can still beat direct on price for one-off stays.
