Whether you can earn loyalty points depends entirely on the specific travel brand you are booking with. You also cannot generally use your points against any of these brands to upgrade your flight, hotel stay, or car rental.
Here’s a general guide on what to expect:
Hotels: Most major hotel chains (such as Marriott, Hilton, and IHG) do not award loyalty points or status benefits for bookings made through third-party platforms.
Airlines: Many airlines do allow you to earn points or miles on your bookings. You will typically need to add your loyalty program number during the reservation process.
Car Rentals: Car rental companies generally do not allow you to earn loyalty points when booking through a third-party platform.
We always recommend checking the terms and conditions of the specific brand you are booking with to confirm their policy on third-party reservations.
