Buenro Credits are our way of rewarding Curators—those who lead group trips and bring people together. Credits act like a discount and are subtracted from your share of the booking total at checkout.


1. What Are Buenro Credits?

Buenro Credits are:

  • Promotional credits issued by Buenro

  • Applied to your share of a group booking at checkout

  • Not transferrable or withdrawable as cash

  • Automatically applied to eligible bookings

You can check your credit balance in the app by tapping the ☰ menu > Credits & Referrals.


2. How Can I Earn Credits?

There are two active campaigns for earning credits:

The Curator Campaign

Earn 50% cashback in credits on your room when you:

  • Start a group trip (5+ bedrooms)

  • Claim the first room

  • Invite your crew to claim the remaining rooms

  • Confirm the full booking

🎯 Example: For a 5-room stay costing €2,000 per room, if you claim the first room and the group completes the booking, you earn €1,000 in credits.

The Buenro Base Campaign

Stay at the Buenro Base and earn 20% cashback in credits per night, up to €500.

If you’ve already stayed this summer, your credits should be available in-app.


3. Where Can I See My Credit Balance?

  • Open the ☰ menu in the app

  • Tap Credits & Referrals

  • Review available balance, expiry dates, and usage history

Credits will also be shown at checkout if you're eligible to apply them.


4. What Can Credits Be Used For?

Credits can be used for:

  • Your personal room share in a group booking

  • Any eligible booking within the app (see Explore)

Credits cannot be used for:

  • Paying for the full home (i.e. all rooms)

  • Buenro service fees or taxes

  • External services (e.g. tours, insurance)

You’ll see the option to apply them just after the pricing section during checkout.


5. Do Credits Expire?

Yes—most credits expire 12 months from the date of issue, unless otherwise specified. Expired credits:

  • Are removed automatically

  • Cannot be reinstated


6. What If I Cancel a Booking That Used Credits?

  • If your booking is eligible for a refund, used credits may be returned to your balance

  • Expired credits won’t be restored

  • If the booking is non-refundable, used credits are forfeited
