Apple Card users can now access Booking.com’s Genius Level 2 loyalty perks after completing a single eligible booking. Multiple outlets report that cardholders are upgraded to Genius Level 2 following one qualifying stay or rental car booking made with an eligible reservation using Apple Card. The offer is described as automatic once the qualifying booking is completed.
Booking.com’s Genius program is a free tiered loyalty system, and Genius Level 2 is associated with benefits such as discounts of about 10–15% on selected stays and rental cars. Sources also say the tier can include free breakfast and/or room upgrades at participating properties. Both outlets note that reaching Genius Level 2 typically requires more activity: ordinarily, users must make five bookings within a two-year period.
In addition, one outlet reiterates that Apple Card has been a Booking.com partner for some time, including enhanced Daily Cash and/or Booking.com Travel Credits when booking stays and rental cars using Apple Card with Apple Pay.
