Support fund to help hosts impacted by COVID-19-related cancellations

Hi Daniel 

Up until recently there has no mention since March of any such fund by BdC.

However there was something  that caught my attention recently where by a notification said :

Note you can find these in Extranet under  Whatrs New > Legal

A commission benefit to help regrow your business

Dear Partner,

The last few months have been challenging for our industry, but your continued loyalty is extremely important to us. As one of our most valued partners, we’d like to give back and support you while you rebuild your business.

Our commitment to you

We’ve created a Partner Performance Investment Programme, designed to help you maintain optimal visibility and performance on our platform while offering you a financial break.

How does it work?

We’ve combined our two most strategic programmes, Genius and Preferred, which already help you stand out from the crowd and capture demand fast.

Your commission benefit

As you’re already benefiting from the visibility that the Preferred and Genius programmes give, we’d like to invest in you further to give you all the support we can.

Therefore, any additional commission that you pay for the Preferred Programme will be rebated back to you across all stayed bookings within July, August and September.

So long as you stay in both programmes for 90 days, there’s nothing more you need to do. If you have any questions, please take a look at our terms and conditions page to learn more about how everything works.

We appreciate your partnership and we look forward to continue working with you.

Kind regards, Your Booking.com Team
