Mr Rebates denying credit for HolidayInn/Sheraton AAA reservations
In the past, my Holiday Inn and Sheraton reservations with AAA rates would intermittently not post. 
I would wait the requisite time, then use the site to report not receiving credit, and shortly after would receive a manual credit.
Lately, I would get the credit with the warning that the credit probably did not automatically post because of the usage of the AAA rate.
Today, my Holiday Inn reservation with an ENT rate, gotten using Holiday Inn's drop down window was completely denied. The cust service person claimed that Mr Rebates does not get credit for this, claiming that Entertainment Book gets this credit somehow.
This, to my mind, is complete bs, given that this is just another rate Holiday Inn offers, without the need for entering any coupons or codes.
Has anybody else experienced this, or am I the only unlucky one?
Is there any other rebates site, which does give credit for Sheraton and Holiday Inn reservations using AAA rates? I cannot even find another rebates site that gives credit for Starwood hotels reservations.
I would wait the requisite time, then use the site to report not receiving credit, and shortly after would receive a manual credit.

Commission Junction's terms for Sheraton referrals include the following:
A “Qualifying Transaction” occurs when a Visitor of an Authorized Web Site follows a Link to a SHERATON Web Site and within the authorized reference window as set forth in the program Term that Visitor makes a reservation for a Commissionable Room at a SHERATON hotel on the SHERATON Web Site that is consumed. “Commissionable Room” is a room made available for sale on the SHERATON Web Site to the general public, and does not include rooms made available at corporate rates or that require qualified proof of membership in a specific third-party company or organization.

Thank You
sc flier, thank you very much for the info. ^
At least this explanation makes much more sense. Is there any way to check on the terms for Intercontinental/HolidayInn referrals? (or any other vendor, for that matter)
I've tried to navigate thru the Commision Junction website, but what you have revealed above seems to be cleverly hidden from the novice seeker.

Thanks, that clarifies it for me too. I've also noticed Mr Rebates has been cracking down a lot more on using coupons found outside of their website.
