Loyalty points and check-in
Because the reservation is made through trip1 rather than Premier Inn directly, it usually does not earn Premier Inn loyalty points or count towards elite status. Check-in itself is unchanged: bring the ID that matches the guest name on the booking, and the hotel treats it like any prepaid reservation.
Cancellations and refunds
Each rate shows its cancellation policy before you pay. If you cancel a refundable rate within the window, trip1 refunds you to your original payment method. Refunds are calculated in the fiat amount you paid, so the crypto you receive back reflects the exchange rate at refund time.
