Save Money on Your Hotel Reservations

That's a very good question to start your RatePunk journey with! 

A browser extension is a small software program that enhances the browser’s functionality by supporting additional functions and features. 

RatePunk is a free browser extension offering travelers multiple solutions to make the most out of their travel budget. 

It allows users to quickly and easily compare prices of hotels across different providers, such as Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline, and others. RatePunk also finds and suggests alternative providers for AirBnb apartment booking. Additionally, it sends rebooking alerts when price drops happen for an already booked hotel. It also pays cashback after the stay.

In other words: it's a tool that's on the way to becoming the ultimate traveler's helper.

Ratepunk provides you with A LOT of useful information when it pops up. It has 12 (!) main functions for now:

1. RateScore: We aggregate hotel ratings from different major travel websites & calculate a single score, so you have the most accurate rating without any additional research. 
2. Hotel quality: In this section we show you, how the hotel's quality has been changing throughout time, so you know if it's been improving or getting poorer. 
3. Safety around property: RatePunk scans reviews and rates the safety around property, so before booking, you always know whether the neighbourhood the hotel's location is safe or risky. 
4. Comment cloud: We aggregate the main key words from booking websites and list them by the most mentions, so you know what that hotel is popular for. 
5. Price comparison: When you choose a hotel to your liking, the browser extension runs a price comparison in the background and pops up in the corner of your browser if a lower price for the same hotel is found on a different booking website. 
6. Device comparison: Mobile and desktop users get different hotel prices. RatePunk informs you every time your hotel could be booked cheaper on another device. 
7. Insider rates: All of our extension users get access to RatePunk's no-commission booking website, which offers lower prices than most of regular booking websites. 
8. Location change suggestion: Different countries get different hotel prices, so RatePunk shows you which country has the lowest rate. Then you can use VPN service and book your wanted hotel cheaper from that particular country. 
9. Price Tracking: This feature tracks hotel price changes before you book it. It informs you every time the price drops, making sure you book the hotel for its lowest price possible.
10. Rebooking: Once your hotel is booked - make sure to activate rebooking. If we notice a price drop for the hotel you booked, we will notify you so you can cancel your reservation and rebook the same hotel at a lower rate.
11. Cashback: After your stay is complete, we will give you a portion of your booking sum. You will see cashback as pending on your user account - we are waiting for our partners to confirm your stay (please note this may take up to 90 days). When we get the confirmation, you'll see the status of your cashback change. You can then redeem your available cashback right from your account, and we will transfer the funds to your PayPal. 
12. RatePunk Wallet: It's one place to hold all your hotel bookings, get automatic rebooking alerts, monitor all reservations, and pay with one-click checkout, and you can find it in your dashboard after signing up…

We're constantly working on adding more & more features, so this list broadens as we go, and the best way to keep track is by growing together with us. 😉

RatePunk Extension is compatible with Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, Mozilla Firefox & Microsoft Edge browsers. It can also be downloaded as an app on iPhones & Androids. 

Installing it is as easy as saving money with it.

Yes! RatePunk is entirely free to install and use. 

Yes, RatePunk Extension is safe to use. We guarantee you that it does not collect any personal information from users and does not interfere with any sensitive data on the websites you visit.

Access and change data on websites is a standard permission used by major extensions like Honey and Capital One. In the sake of transparency, we request this permission in order to expand to all travel websites. We plan on adding hotel comparison across all hotel websites. Requesting websites in use on every extension update would require users to accept new permissions on every update leading to a poor user experience and churn. We comply with all chrome web store policies and go through the standard 1-2 day code review process on every update. 

RatePunk does not endorse any specific provider, we only show you the price comparison, and you choose the provider you’d like to book with. 

However, our browser extension users now also get access to RatePunk no-commission booking website. It will pop up at the top of the browser extension every time it has the lowest price, and you'll be able to redirect yourself to continue the booking directly with us. 

You don’t need an account to use RatePunk’s price comparison or rebooking (we will need to take an email address for the later). 

However, in order to collect and redeem cashback, an account is required - simply so we can track the cash you collect on your stays, and to pay out once available.
