Thomas Cook Cashback Offers & Discounts

Instead of having to carry cash around with you when you go abroad, or use a debit or credit card, you can opt for a Thomas Cook prepaid Travel Card.

It can be loaded with British Pounds, as well as Euros, US, Australian, New Zealand or Canadian Dollars, South African Rand and other foreign currencies, and be used to pay for goods in shops and restaurants, or to withdraw money from millions of ATMs worldwide. When you purchase or top-up your Travel Money Card, you will ensure that you exchange your travel money at the rate shown on the day.

To have your Travel Money Card delivered to your home, just choose the currency and the amount you want and it should be with you within three working days. Alternatively, you can reserve it online and pick it up from one of more than 500 Thomas Cook stores. What's more, their Multi-Currency Cash Passport Card can hold up to 10 currencies, meaning you will be able to use it for numerous holidays.

Their 'What's the Rate' currency calculator, which is available for Android and iOS devices, will allow you to check the latest exchange rates and trends. Lock in the exchange rate you see on the day you reload your card, while the app can be used to pre-order and reserve currency or a prepaid Travel Money Card for collection. You can manage your account online, while an ATM locator is also available. You will also benefit from 24/7 Global Emergency Assistance, which will provide you with a replacement if your card is lost or stolen.

Thomas Cook offer extra reassurance with their 24-Hour Hotel Satisfaction Promise in selected properties where their reps visit.

If you see the logo as part of the holiday description on the Thomas Cook website, it means the Promise applies to that hotel. As a result, if, on arrival, your chosen hotel is not as described, they will either resolve the issue or offer to move you to another hotel of the same standard within 24 hours of you contacting their rep service in person or by telephone.

Although unlikely, if they cannot either resolve the issue or find you somewhere else to stay, you can choose to either take the next available Thomas Cook flight home and get a refund for the cost of your holiday or carry on with your holiday at the hotel you booked and they will send you a voucher for 25% of the amount you paid for your holiday. You can use the voucher when you book Thomas Cook holidays online and stay at one of the hotels where the 24-Hour Hotel Satisfaction Promise applies.

Thomas Cook offer low-cost flights and packages to a range of destinations, whether you are planning a city break in Europe, a beach holiday to the Caribbean, a skiing trip to Austria or are going on safari in South Africa. With Thomas Cook Airlines, you can fly from the UK to more than 60 popular destinations.

The Thomas Cook Airlines fleet is made up of 94 aircraft. If you are jetting off to one of their long-haul destinations, you will most likely travel on one of their 18 Boeing 767s within the Condor fleet or 11 Airbus A330s in the Thomas Cook Airlines and Scandinavia fleets. Their short and medium-haul routes are operated by 15 Boeing 757-300s, 14 Airbus A320s and 36 Airbus A321s.

If flying economy class, adults and children aged 2-12 are allowed one piece of free hand luggage (including Trunki cases) weighing no more than 6kg. If flying premium class, you are entitled to one piece of carry on baggage weighing no more than 10kg, which must not exceed 55cm (h) x 40cm (w) x 20cm (d). You can also take on board one of either a small handbag, laptop/tablet (including case) or umbrella.

Add Flexi Book to your package during checkout and you will be able to change your destination, as well as your hotel and the names of people travelling, right up until eight days before you travel (terms and conditions apply). This will protect yourself should your plans suddenly change and you will not have to pay any extra fees.

You can check in for your Thomas Cook Airlines flight 24 hours before departure, though it will close two hours before. This means that you can print off your boarding pass or load a mobile version onto your smartphone or tablet in advance in order to make your way through to the departure lounge more quickly. You will need to be at the departure lounge at least 45 minutes before your flight.
