Earn money on the work trip: book hotels with cashback

Norwegians travel a lot for work: conferences, client meetings, courses and away days. Hotels, flights and transport are costs the employer often covers. But did you know that you can earn cashback on those bookings, money that goes to you personally?

How it works

When you book a hotel through Sparebørsen, you get cashback on the booking regardless of who pays. Your employer covers the hotel, you get the cashback. It is entirely legal and works the same way as airline loyalty points.

Popular hotel partners for business travellers

• Radisson Hotels: 2.8% cashback on every booking. More than 1 100 hotels worldwide, including Radisson Blu in every large Norwegian city.
• Strawberry Hotels: 2.1% cashback. The largest chain in the Nordics, with Comfort, Quality and Clarion hotels across Scandinavia.

A worked example: the typical business traveller

Say you travel twice a month and pay 1 500 kr per night, two nights per trip. That is 6 000 kr a month, or 72 000 kr a year. At 2.8% cashback it comes to 2 016 kr a year, straight back to you. Without doing anything differently other than clicking through Sparebørsen first.

Tips for work travellers

• Always book directly on the hotel's own website after clicking through from Sparebørsen, not through third parties.
• Combine cashback with the hotel's own loyalty programme for a double return.
• Check all travel partners at Sparebørsen before you book anything travel related.

Next time you book a work trip: start here. It takes ten seconds extra and gives you money back all year.
