Booking.com is a site for reserving flights, cars, cruises, and hotels, while ChargePoint sells charging equipment for electric vehicles and also offers more than 280,000 charging stations across multiple countries.

‌Apple Card‌ users can get three percent Daily Cash back from Booking.com on eligible prepaid stays and car rentals when purchasing using ‌Apple Card‌ with Apple Pay, though Apple says that its special Apple Card link needs to be used when booking. Eligible stays include those that are paid for using the "Pay Now" rate.

As for ChargePoint, ‌Apple Card‌ users will get three percent Daily Cash when using ‌Apple Card‌ with ‌Apple Pay‌ to pay for electric vehicle charging at ChargePoint charging stations, as well as home charging purchases through the ChargePoint website.

Apple has several other partners that provide extra Daily Cash as well, including Duane Reade, Mobil, T-Mobile, Uber Eats, Ace Hardware, Nike, Uber, and Walgreens.

Panera Bread has also been one of Apple's partners to offer three percent Daily Cash, but starting on February 1, 2025, Panera Bread Daily Cash back will be limited to two percent.

Surprising they don't try to get more retailers, with the Christmas shopping season upon us. I know I checked to see if they had anything going with Coach last week when I ordered some gifts for my wife and was disappointed by the offerings.

We don't (and never will) use these aggregators for travel. The discounts you get for going direct, plus loyalty points for booking direct, far exceed the meager extra 2% Apple is offering. In addition, hotels only offer a limited selection of rooms to these companies. On Bookings, there may be only 2 rooms left. But call the hotel, and they have 20. Same with airlines. They allocate extremely limited seats to frequent flyers.

Better to get a Fidelity Visa. No fees, it pays 2% on everything, and if you get a debit card, it picks up out of network charges at ATMs, with no limits. Use Apple Pay at the Apple Store and get your 3%. Or use your Amazon Prime card, buy your Apple goods at Amazon, and get 5% credit to your account. And usually a price break as well.
In my experience, the exact same flight + hotel is cheaper by a few hundred $ through a third party than booking direct. The itinerary is exactly the same, just $400 less from Expedia including any taxes and fees.

Maybe it’s because they are giving a discount for booking a hotel and flight together, but it *was* cheaper to not book direct.

But it's trivially easy to check both ways. Last week I saved $45 on a Hilton room by booking through hotels.com, while the time before it was a better deal to book direct. No big deal.

I have used my Apple Care less and less. GS as a bank is a joke and it's pretty apparent from the reports we read here they don't care and are just done.

So I've been using other cards instead since it's just not reliable, but would love a bank like Chase to come in and take over.
