RebatesMe Travel & Vacation Bookings
Yesterday I shared an amazing deal with you for RebatesMe. New members can earn $50 after earning just $10 in cash back on the portal. This is the best offer we have ever seen for RebatesMe and it is an exclusive offer to Miles to Memories! I also mentioned in yesterday’s article that RebatesMe recently added travel & vacation bookings at increased rates too. After looking it over I thought that this deserved a separate post as well. If you have upcoming travel planned this could save you a bundle, especially when paired with the $50 new member bonus. The increased rates are scheduled to end today.
Normally travel bookings don’t pay out until you complete the trip which would make it not work for this bonus. But, RebatesMe terms say you just need to earn the $10 within the first 365 days of signing up so these deals should stack!
RebatesMe Travel Booking Options
Here is a list of the popular travel options and their current rates. I’ll also show what the best rate is showing on Cashbackmonitor.com.
- IHG Hotels & Resorts – 4% (3% on Cashback Monitor)
- Expedia – Up To 6.1% (4.8% on Cashback Monitor) – looks like hotel focused.
- Hilton – 3.5% (4% on Cashback Monitor)
- Hotels.com – 4.3% (6% on Cashback Monitor)
- Priceline – 4.1% (4% on Cashback Monitor)
- Marriott – 4.5% (4% on Cashback Monitor)
- Hertz – 6% (8% on Cashback Monitor)
- Orbitz – Up To 5% (5% on Cashback Monitor)
- Choice Hotels – 2% (5% on Cashback Monitor)
- VividSeats – 4% (8% on Cashback Monitor)
- Alaska Airlines – 2.5% (2.5% on Cashback Monitor)
- Travelocity – 2% (4% on Cashback Monitor)
There are plenty of other options that may work for you too. I bolded any options that were the best rates, or tied for the best, that I saw.
Stacking These Deals
If you are new to RebatesMe, and can get the $50 new member bonus, then these could be a big savings on your trip.
If you have a $200 hotel you need to book that isn’t a points / chain hotel then you could do it through Expedia. You would get up to 6.1% back ($12.20) plus the $50 bonus. That is a discount of up to 31% on your stay.
With how crazy car rentals are you could rack up cash back with the Hertz 6% back offer plus they have a 15% off discount code you can stack it with. If you have a Venture X then you may do better booking the Hertz car through their portal for 10X earning but you could do a side by side comparison. Maybe the $50 new member offer pushes RebatesMe over the top.
If you have an upcoming Marriott, Hilton or IHG stay etc. that you were going to pay cash for anyway you might as well stack these deals to get a huge discount there. The rates are already the best out there for Marriott and IHG so you wouldn’t miss out on anything there. The Hilton stay would have to be $10,000 for the $50 bonus to not cover the gap from RebatesMe’s rate and the top offering out there.
Other Increased Options For New Members
As another nice little perk of signing up you will earn increased rates on your first purchase. This is perfect if you don’t have any upcoming travel that would work. There are quite a few options that popped up when I joined, here are some of them. Use it wisely and you should be able to easily hit that $10 earn mark for the bonus. If you select an option that is giving 10% or more that is like 60% off a $100 purchase when including the sign up bonus. I used mine on Macy’s when I did it a few months ago.
If you have a Sak’s credit on your Amex Platinum card that you still need to use this is a great option too.
Final Thoughts
This is one of the easiest ways to earn $50 that you will see. If you have a two player system then that is a quick $100. I figured it was worth highlighting the increased travel rates in more detail since they go away today. If you were booking a hotel, or house rental, for cash anyway then this is worth digging into. It could cut a nice chunk off the cost.

Just signed up with Rebatesme and bought something using your link. We’ll see how it tracks. I had used TopCashBack but they declined too many of my big purchases and I got tired of the run around.
I have never personally had an issue with tracking with RebatesMe but everyone’s experience is different with these things and with their browser set ups etc. Hopefully it is smooth sailing to your $50!
