2. $100 Hotels.com Gift Card for $90
Ebay has $100 Hotels.com gift cards at a $10 discount. There’s a limit of 2 per person. So you could get $200 towards a hotel stay for $180.
Save $20 on a $200 Stay at Hotels.com! Plus, You Can Stack This With Other Deals for Even More Savings!
You can earn points and cash back by paying with cards like:
- Barclaycard Arrival Plus – 2X Barclaycard Arrival miles per $1 spent on all purchases
- Citi AT&T Access More – 3X Citi ThankYou points at online retailers
- Citi Double Cash – 1% cash back on all purchases and 1% cash back on all payments
- Discover it – 1% cash back, doubled at the end of your 1st year if you’re a new cardholder or previously registered
For example, if you buy 2 $100 Hotels.com gift cards with your Citi AT&T Access More card, you’ll earn 540 Citi ThankYou points (3 Citi ThankYou points X $180 spent). Citi ThankYou points are worth at least 1.25 cents per point in paid travel booked through the Citi Travel Center, if you also have the Citi ThankYou Premier card. So you could earn ~$7 towards paid travel.
Here’s how to stack this deal to save even more:
- Check evreward and Cashback Monitor for the best shopping portal deals at eBay. Currently, you’ll earn 4% cash back at eBay when you click through iConsumer to make your purchase.
- Earn 2% back in eBay Bucks to use towards another purchase when you make your purchase through PayPal.
- Pay for your Hotel.com gift cards with a miles, points, or cash back card like the ones listed above
- When you’re ready to book your stay with your gift card, check evreward and Cashback Monitor again for the best shopping portal deals at Hotels.com. For example, you can currently earn 7% cash back at Hotels.com by clicking through TopCashBack. Be sure to read the fine print to see if your booking is eligible.
- Earn Hotels.com Welcome Rewards – 1 free night for every 10 nights. The free night is worth the average price of your 10 nights.
However, keep in mind that when you book through Hotels.com, you won’t get to take advantage of elite perks like free breakfast and room upgrades. And you won’t earn credits towards elite status.
So do the math to see if this deal makes sense for you!
