The Offer

Direct link to offer for Marriott & IHG

  • Ebates is offering 10% cash back on completed Marriott bookings

 

The Fine Print

  • Unknown end date
  • Cash Back is not available at the following brands: ExecuStay, Ritz Carlton, Edition, BVLGARI, Grand Residences; and at the following properties: The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection, Riyadh Marriott, Saudi Arabia, Aspen Wye River Conference Center (Maryland), The Marriott Ranch Bed and Breakfast (Virginia), AC Hotel Lisboa, AC Hotel Carlton Madrid, AC Hotel Som, AC Hotel Nuevo Portil Golf.

Our Verdict

According to cash back monitor the best historical rate for Marriott is 10%. Normally it seems to sit around 7%. Keep in mind you’re still doing the booking directly through Marriott so you get elite stay credits and points. If you don’t have an Ebates account then consider using my link here.

  • Any way to get a Group Code box to show up on IHG/Holiday Inn siteswhen going thru Ebates? I have to book a hotel for a wedding, need to enter the group code to get the rate (and availability). But the box isn't showing up when I go thru Ebates, either IHG or HI.

    • usually the portals restrict what custom discounts they will offer. you'll likely have to book direct to get the availability/rate

  • can you get cashback when mixing points adn cash/taxes? or only full cash thank you for your time

  • Booked Marriott thru AAshopping portal on Mar 4th for 10x miles. Email offer United Hotels also offering 500 miles per stay if booked thru their link, powered by hotels,com

  • @will Deal is back for today. Seems like a Thursday recurring theme.

    Anyone know if you book a stay outside the ebates referral promotion, does it still count for the referral bonus? Not sure since the cashback will post well after the referral window ends for the stay I just booked

    • If you're asking does booking a stay now earn 10%even if you complete the stay when the cashback drops then yes, I can confirm from personal experience.

  • Did it through their app so hopefully, there will be no ad/javascript blockers that interfere with it

  • Not sure if this was a recent change, but it looks like the list of exclusions has changed (pasted below). For example, in your original post above it says Ritz Carlton is excluded -- but looking at the list below, only the Ritz Carlton Destination Club is excluded, along with the Ritz Carlton London. Seems like other vanilla Ritz properties should be available for cash back?

    Cash Back is not available at the following brands: Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, Design Hotels, Bulgari, W Hotels; and at the following properties: Atlantis, Autograph Collection, Bulgari Hotel, London, Joshua G.E. Medical Corp. Conference Center, Jesse Jones Rotary Conference Center, Marriott Ranch, Protea Hotel Amani Beach, Protea Hotel Mbweni Ruins, The Ritz-Carlton London, U.S. Postal Service Conference Center, Four Points by Sheraton Havana, The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Autograph Collection.

    • Thank you for mentioning this. I was looking to book at a Ritz but thought it was excluded based on my glance the T&C.
      Much appreciated.

  • Part of Travel Thursdays. Marriott, IHG, Ebates Hotels, and cruises through Priceline are the 10% offers this week. As another commenter suggested, check to see if you have an Amex Offer you can stack with.

    • Yes, every Thursday is Travel Thursday at Ebates/Rakuten. The merchants usually change from week to week, but you can usually find a few merchants offering 10% Cash Back.

  • This can stack with a current Chase offer as well. I currently have 15% back on purchases of $100 or more with $60 back maximum
