Hotels.com 15% Discount on GCs...But What if You Cancel?
eBay currently lists $100 Hotels.com gift cards for $85. I'm thinking about using some of these for upcoming stay at a no-loyalty-program hotel.
Hotels.com indicates that there is no cancellation fee until a couple of days before check-in.
If you pre-pay on the Hotels.com website with Hotels.com GCs, then cancel, what happens to the funds?

Usually you can buy hotels.com gift cards for 20% off , but 15% is good too.

It's not bad getting 5x points on an INK card and sometimes shopping portals accidentally give you cash back. I don't know of any portals that allow for CB on gift card purchases.
Also, make sure you use a coupon code when booking. I don't believe you can get CB on bookings made with gift cards.
