Hostelworld Cashback & Rewards

Specific offers will vary, but our general advice on cashback timeframes are:

• eCommerce: 60-120 days
• Hotels: ~100 days after check-out

In most cases, you should see your transaction as 'pending' within a few business days. To find the exact timeframe, see the platform's offer page

Some cashback sites will offer a signup bonus for new users, the conditions vary, but generally require you to meet a minimum spend or accumulate a certain cashback balance for the bonus to be credited. For example, the above TopCashback offer for Hostelworld could get you an easy $undefined in addition to the usual cashback if you're a new member and NaN.

What's a point worth?

This really depends on your own valuation of frequent flyer points and your point redemption goals, but as a simplistic guide, we at Rewardist are happy to pay at least 1c per point for most frequent flyer programs. If you're planning to redeem these points for flights (particularly in the pointy end of the plane 🥂), you can get some real value out of them, but it's good to keep in mind what you personally value. Here are some good resources to help determine the potential value of frequent flyer points:

How to choose

Using our simplistic valuation of 1c per point, you can easily compare cashback & frequent flyer offers like-for-like.
