15 USD cashback for hotel booking

topcashback.com lists onetravel.com with 15 usd cashback on each hotel booking. just checked for the hotel i was looking for, and the price was not higher than on hotels.com. might be different for other hotels...

Strange but true...

The $15 is indeed shown on TCB,
clicking through...it wasn't too hard to find a $10 hotel (BKK)
or $11.41 completed, instant charge.

With the difficulty of getting TCB to pay out,
and the uncertainty of no-shows qualifying,
I don't think it is worth playing for me,
but if might work for some. ^

on european cashback sites, those amounts are seen widely. even expedia.de (germany) used to pay out 20 usd per booking. others still do.

by the way, i use topcashback.com all the time. they are paying out very quickly.

Then you have done well.
I used TCB for 6 stays during the Carlson promo.
They had some meltdown...
and after 10 weeks 4 finally paid out.
The other two became not worth the trouble@ $5 each.
But I am not complaining about free cash.

for example web.de, 13 euro cashback via qipu.de
or gratistours.com, 15 euro cashback via qipu.de
or ab-in-den-urlaub.de, 10 euro cashback via qipu.de

alright - those are the packaged rates, for my destinations packaged rates for the german market usually have far higher rates, e.g. V Hotel Lavender 139 EUR with gratistours or 119 SGD with any OTA that is more than double the price. furthermore, they require mostly a 3 day advance booking which i mostly cannot do.

aidu would work, though they are now redirecting to their hotelreservation site which only pays out a smaller commission...

still, thanks a lot

i have seen it both ways. sometimes packaged rates are cheaper than regular rates. also, urlaub.de pays 14 euro cashback and sell expedia inventory (but they have a min purchase amount requirement).

Is there a limit on how many times I can claim the cashback? Suppose I want to book a hotel by individual nights consecutively, if you know what I mean...
