2% on Hilton via ebates
Last week I signed up for the ebates via the conga here on FT. I just logged in and noticed that they now have a 2% payout on bookings for Hilton. Since most of us here are doing it anyway, I thought I'd post it. Here's a link to the ebates conga thread:

This is fantastic. I just cancelled and rebooked about a half dozen pending stays. This is $$ for nothing.
Thanks so much.

I was going to post this yesterday, I already completed a trip and got my 2% back, on the hotel via Hilton.com and 2% for my car rental via Travelocity
It's only $9, but it's better than nothing.
And yes, I am getting all my points and bonus points for the stay
Will highly recommended, with hotels not giving a booking bonus, this is awesome

If four weeks is normal, then I won't worry about it for a little while longer.
(edit to thank jfe for his quick response.)

Hmmm..so if you book your own travel, but then charge it back to your company, client, etc. Do they get the rebate....I think PWC got busted for this a while back... So play nice!
Oh Found it. $41.9M PWC paid out....

Can anyone confirm ebate and points, which does seem like it wouldn't be a problem, but you never know.
Also, is the 2% on the total folio? If so, it actually would be worthwhile to book reward stays and get the 2% on incidentals.

I placed a few reservations through ebates and am waiting for my rebate. It's only been about 2 weeks, so I'm not concerned yet. I did see the following exception on their site:
Hilton Hotels: Orders made within the HHonors program do not qualify to earn Cash Back.
What exactly does that mean? Hopefully I still get my rebate...
