QUOTE(sj0217 @ Aug 31 2015, 08:39 AM) What amount you paid now, the amount will reflected on your statement, unless you are "Pay Later", then it is need depend on currency rate once charge Oh.. ok.. means i pay now for RM516.. but agoda they dont make currency conversion to the overseas hotel? Would they charges the RM516 as based on that day transaction forex rate? As rates now are quite fluctuate.. btw im using hlb platinum mastercard for the payment. Because there's a case when i paid to AIRBNB , website shows is RM1,182 then make payment is using EURO. due to the host side is using taiwan new dollar therefore they needed to have currency conversion for the payment.

I have booked with Agoda, what is the amount I paid, and what amount show on my statement. I believe the currency you selected in Agoda is already include exchange rate, if you want to be sure, you can select between USD & MYR, see whether the amount got slightly different or not

Like BKK, I usually will compare the price between without breakfast and with breakfast, slightly different still acceptable Some of hotels the breakfast can be cost you per person THB300-400, better book without breakfast.. haha Malaysia Hotels usually I booked come with breakfast Most of the time I booked with breakfast, can try it once, then only know whether is worth or not on next staying

Yeah I also feel that it is more worth it to book the room with breakfast. Normally the price difference is indeed not too much difference. Probably it is only less than one ala carte buffet breakfast for one person price but instead if book with room the small difference can cover two persons breakfast which it is quite worth it. Nowadays I always book with agoda, I used to book with booking.com but I realized now most of the time agoda is cheaper for the same room in same hotel. Somemore agoda can earn points.

All the while I booked with Agoda, have redeemed few times hehe Not sure if you are aware or not, you can compare the price between Mobile Apps Agoda & website Agoda, I noticed sometime Mobile apps is cheaper than website Agoda. Currently I do have Coupon (cash rebate instantly) for some hotels during booking, you are able to see the discount on the price list, no idea what this promo is

If ur card is cash back card can even earn extra rebate for the amount paid. Yeah. Yesterday only I noticed got this coupon thing. it seems like it is random. No need to key in anything, just login can see the instant coupon redeemed. Really a lot of discounts can get at agora.

I'm about to make booking for my accommodation on next year too. Yup, I have aware of credit card discount. However, you may need to check between Agoda vs Agoda/credit card, it may still higher if using Agoda/CC discount. Furthermore, you can have a quick look on credit card threads which can earn you rebate (credit card features)

Can use ShopBack.com, they give similar cashbacks as well... Can PM me for referral link if interested, then we both get bonus cashback
