I believe I've already included links to the T&Cs, a summary of terms, and warnings about the issue you raise in the original post. Anything specific you suggest I add? Note that cash back typically takes anywhere from days to weeks to show up, but you should follow up with your documentation if the recommended period has passed.
Also since I live outside the US, postage is USD 19.95 - and that's why I was thinking about order as big an amount as possible and overlooked the max 25K pts thing.
I can see on my cash back page that the page to the gift cards are tracked so I really think that they should be able to see it.
Once again - great job Mooper!

Counsellor - Any further information on the topic mentioned in my post #21, above? Your help is greatly appreciated, as is anyone else who can help verify that matter.
Maybe someone else who is a bit braver than I?

Though not offer related, Marriott seems to have recently activated the "Register Your Card" feature in the last few days on https://gifts.marriott.com/default.aspx if you want to track your card balance and/or report it lost/stolen.

I bought 2000 worth of gc's through BigCrumbs a month back and still no record of the transaction in my BC account. Although fatwallet's percentage is little less, it is more reliable and prompt customer support for missing credit inquiries - if any

There are other threads covering BigCrumbs and other cash back programs. Would prefer to keep this one focused on Marriott tricks and promos. Anyone aware of new items I can add to the master post? Happy New Year! Let's hope it is filled with promos galore.

BTW, for a $1000 GC, what do you think is worth more - $100 extra or 10k Marriott points. Its very close in value, but I took the $100 last couple of times since most of the 30k hotels can be had for less than $300.

Both BigCrumbs and now Mr. Rebates indicate that for Marriott hotel stays, negotiated rates will not yield a CashBack savings.
It has been my experience that you get no CashBack from Big Crumbs for AAA rates booked thru their site, and this likely will now be the case for Mr. Rebates, as well -- although if some of you know a definitive answer to this post it.
However, I do believe that if one goes thru MyPoints -- which yields 2 MyPoints per $ spent at a Marriott, one obtains those points even if a AAA or other negotiated rate is used.

Maybe a link to a thread discussing BigCrumbs would be helpful in the OP.

Cash bonus promo versus points bonus depends purely upon the value you assign to your MRPs. That varies by individual, largely based upon how you use them. If you redeem 30K for $300 nights (per your example), then you're better off with the cash. However, if you do as I do and save up and redeem for 270K Travel Packages stacked with Delta/USAirways and other transfer promos and redeem to replace purchases you would have made with cash otherwise, you can easily achieve 1.5 to 2 cents per point. For me, the point bonus is more appealing. For others, it might be Hertz.

I'm still waiting for my rebates for $3k GC purchase through hoopla doopla. They haven't got a reply from Marriott.

My big crumbs cashback showed up today for a purchase made last night. The only difference is that I used IE instead of Firefox a few weeks ago, which still hasn't shown up in my account.

When I purchased the gift card using code MMF, the notation showed in my cart but the total of the card did not reflect the bonus. I'm assuming it will show up on the card itself. For others that have purchased this gift card using the bonus 10%, is that correct? Thanks

When you receive the gift card, it will come with a total value of 110% on it. e.g. gift card will have $1100 for a $1000 purchase.
