Shopback Plus users get 13% cashback, 12% Cashback for Hotels for regular users.
Here's some important tips to make sure you're paying the lowest prices:
Booking.com may display a higher hotel rate / price when shopping through a cashback provider . This is usually the case for a lot of chain brand hotels. I recommend opening two different types of browsers (e.g Firefox + Chrome), one with cashback enabled and one without, and compare the prices side by side to see which hotels raise their prices.
Prices displayed on the Desktop site and through the Mobile (App) can be quite different. I recommend doing your preliminary research on the desktop site first, but complete the booking through mobile app. About 50% of the time, I usually get offered a lower price (Mobile-only discont)
Be sure to read the booking terms properly as some of these discounted options come with a big catch (non-refundable booking). If you are booking far in advance, it's worth paying the extra money for free cancellation, just to cover your buttocks in case your travel plan changes or if you find a better place elsewhere.
From my experience though in booking 2/3 star hotels in Singapore and Japan, I didn't see any price increases with the cashback activated, but your mileage will vary depending on the brand of the accommodation.
The usual terms are as follows:
