Yes. In fact in the U.S. all stays are paid directly to the hotel, booking.com is not set up to accept payments. This may not be true in other countries.
Per the T&C's it's one $40 promo per person, not multiple use. It may be targeted, per T&C's; I have used booking.com previously a few times--link worked for me.
I feel quite confident about this offer, as I received a confirmation email after the booking confirming the -$40 promo (as others have stated).
