The Platform provides hotel booking cashback services to users. Users submit qualifying hotel booking information through the Platform, and upon verification, may receive a cash rebate at a specified rate.

Cashback credit: once confirmed, the cashback amount will be credited to your Platform wallet
Request withdrawal: you may request a withdrawal of your wallet balance to your personal account once withdrawal conditions are met
