15% Cashback for IHG - Ebates.com Birthday Week

Started at 9 pm PDT tonight (May 8, 2016). 15% cashback for using the Ebates.com cashback portal to book a room at any IHG chain (except Kimpton).

This is the most cashback in years from any shopping portal.

Does ebates 15% work for points + cash? If so, that's like buying 5k/10k points at 0.68cpp/0.595cpp (versus the usual 0.8cpp/0.7cpp).

Thanks OP. Great deal for those of us who book our own travel. I assume anything booked during this period - no matter when the travel is - works? IF so, I will be re-booking all future reso's.

Correct. Even if it is April 2017, you'll still get 15% cashback BUT it won't post to your account until after the stay (normally 5 days) - even if it is an advance purchase rate.

You will not get 15% back on the points cash purchase while making the reservation.

Not sure about Ebates and the 15% promotion, but I did get the rebate for the cash part of the C+P reservation with another cashback site a few months ago.

I haven't used ebates and their website is vague... If a US resident uses the referral link to book foreign hotels in foreign currencies the rebate check is still USDs without weird fees, right?

I know Mr Rebates converts the foreign transaction to US dollars. I assume ebates is the same.

You will be fine. I got my quarterly rebate deposited, via PayPal, today and it included rebates for hotels in at least two non dollar denominated countries.

Thanks for the reminder about the 15% cashback! Made a res for this month that will also get me 7,000 bonus IHG points. (Plus base points, plus cc points....)
