Online Travel Booking and Bidding Agencies - eBay Hotel points help
Not sure what to do on this one. Yesterday I Bid through the eBay link on a Priceline bid and won 2 nights at a 4* hotel in Chicago after following the steps and entering my ebay username. I'm not seeing any credit showing up for this bid. Now I'm seeing that it goes through paypal, and still not seeing any free points in my paypal account. Was there something extra that I needed to sign up for? If so, I'm not seeing it. I guess I'm just wondering how to get these points credited to my account.

Hi Kde09,
Welcome to FlyerTalk!
It takes 2 days to get the points credited to your account. You should be getting 1,500 points for your stay.

You have to link your eBay account with your PayPal account. Follow the instructions on the eBay Anything Points page how to do this. Sometimes points are awarded the following day and sometimes it can take longer.
My guess is that I blew it w/ this bid???? I did go through eBay and I entered my ebay i.d. when it asked and then won the bid. However, it wasn't until later on yesterday that I realized there is a link on ebay that says "Start earning points, register today." You click it and get a confirmation. I didn't do that until after I won the bid, not realizing that this might be necessary. I wonder if I'll get the points, I'm guessing NOT.

You will find it out relatively soon. It is always wise to register for promotions before activity.
