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:

^ Since the ebates link bounces you back to the Hilton site, there doesn't seem to be any risk of losing HHonors points and benefits on the booking, either.

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 :cool:

Will highly recommended, with hotels not giving a booking bonus, this is awesome :)^^

me too
 

i have conrads stays booked for 50days . i rebooked all and will get a lot of money now...

For jfe or anyone else using ebates....
 

What is the time frame for the rebate to post to the ebates account? My last stay was nearly four weeks ago, and I've yet to see the 2 percent hit my account.

Mike

4 weeks sound about right.

Make sure you have a tracking ticket in your account

The tracking ticket's there, so that's not an issue. I just didn't know whether to be concerned about the time frame or not, though.

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. :)

Got my 2% and points, just for the room rate, no taxes nor incidentals

I had done one stay using ebates 2%, it had not worked for me. not sure why. Anyways, I am going through fatwallet fatcash right now (2% as well and im supporting my favorite website) and hoping it turns out better.

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...

Not sure, but I got my 2% back :cool:

Can't believe I missed this. Thanks for the info! I just used Robt760 's link to join. Here's mine http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?id=27795089 ^
