How To Use An Agoda Promo Code [And Where To Find One]
Agoda Promo Codes
Agoda built its reputation as the website with steeply discounted hotel rooms.
Basically, Agoda makes money by saving users money. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that Agoda also offers promo codes that allow its users to receive additional discounts on their bookings.
In this guide, we’ll explore how Agoda’s promo codes work.
We’ll cover what a promo code is, how to find and apply one to your booking, how codes work in the Agoda app versus the website, plus why you should create a user account to maximize the benefits of being an Agoda customer.

What Is An Agoda Promo Code?
Agoda offers promo codes to incentivize potential customers to try its website and as a way to keep past customers coming back. Typically, promo codes on Agoda range in value from discounts of 5% to 20%.
“Promo code”, “promotion code”, “discount code”, “coupon code” and “voucher code” are synonymous terms on Agoda. Agoda and its users interchange them, but we’ll stick to the term “promo code” for the remainder of this guide.

How To Find And Use A Promo Code At Checkout
At the top of the home page, click “Today’s deals” (or just click here).
There, you’ll see 2 categories:
Agoda displays five Explorer Deals and four Everyday Deals.
Explorer Deals and Everyday Deals are destinations Agoda is trying to promote by offering discounted rooms. These destinations change often, so re-visit if you’re not interested in what’s currently displayed.
Today’s Deals
Explorer Deals
Explorer Deals promo codes range from discounts of 5% to 10%. For more information about a particular Explorer Deals offer, click the destinations shown. I clicked on Hong Kong in this example.
Click “Copy” or save the promo code somewhere, so you’ll have it ready at checkout. To find a local hotel to apply a code towards, click “Search Properties”. After finding a listing you like, select your room type.
On the Customer Information page, scroll until you see the box that reads, “Enter your promo code here”. This is where you’ll paste your Explorer Deals code.
After you enter the promo code, a green check should appear beside the text box - which means your code is valid. If you see a red X, then the code is invalid.
The discount will apply towards your booking total (beside “Promotion Discount”). As in the screenshot above, the 10% discount was applied to the room in Hong Kong. Click “NEXT PAGE” at the bottom, then then complete your booking. You’ll arrive at the Completed Booking page (screenshot below).

Everyday Deals
Agoda’s second deals category is Everyday Deals.
Agoda features four Everyday Deals destinations per day, discounted by as much as 20%.
Unlike Explorer Deals, Everyday Deals don’t require you to enter a promo code. Instead, Everyday Deals are promotions for hotels in specific destinations. In the screenshot above, Agoda offers discounts up to 17% in Vientiane, Laos.
When you click an Explorer Deals destination, you’ll be directed to a list of discounted properties in that destination. After you’ve found a room that suits your tastes and budget, complete your booking as normal.

Can You Use Promo Codes On The Agoda App?
Agoda’s website and app function similarly.
But one feature left behind in the app is the Today’s Deals page. Explorer Deals promo codes can only be applied on Agoda’s desktop version. If you enter an Explorer Deals code in the app, it will be rejected.
“HONGKONG” Explorer Deals code rejected in the app
As you see in the screenshot above, the app rejected the same Explorer Deals code I got from the website, even though I applied it to the exact same listing.
But the app sometimes offers unique coupon codes and discounts unavailable on the website (screenshot below), so I recommend downloading it if you plan to be a repeat Agoda customer.

Create An Agoda Account To Earn Additional Promo Codes
Agoda sometimes gifts promo codes to repeat users that have an Agoda account. This is why it’s smart to create an Agoda account if you plan to book more than once. Here’s a screenshot of a discount offered in my personal Agoda account.
Apply these discounts using the process shown above. Paste the code into the Customer Information page when booking. In my experience, Agoda offers more promo codes as my total successful bookings increase.

Important Tips!
In my experience, the text for Explorer Deals promo codes is usually the destination name in capital letters, such as “BANGKOK” or “BARCELONA”. I’ve found the text codes to be case-sensitive as well.
Promo codes expire, so take advantage when you find a good one!
