Marriott Bonvoy has increased their shopping portal rate on numerous shopping portals. The Topcashback offer is showing “ends today”, and the others may end today as well.
- 10x American Airlines miles
- 10% back from Ebates (this means 10x MR points for some) – this deal has been returning frequently
- 10% back from Topcashback, but only on stays 4+ nights; shorter stays only get 8% back
Just beware of the excluded brands in the fine print.
Hat tip to reader Feb and to Frequentmiler
Do AAA rates quality for these promos?
I booked a Marriott hotel by going through ebates, now Rakuten, back in November. I haven’t received my 10% cashback yet.
Marriott is charging $10 extra per kid even at Fairfield Inn. In the main booking page it is lumped with the taxes so hard to figure out.
Is this NEW?
I’ve got some really big purchases pending through TCB with Marriott. Really hopeful that it works out.
Anyone have any luck going into an existing reservation, modifying it (change room type, etc) and get the payout?
Conceptually I don’t think it works that way. Ebates for example specifically says in no circumstances can it be applied retroactively.
These sites earn money on the commission of the sale. If the sale is complete and just being modified, no company would pay a commission for that, so no way for Ebates or others tohave something to give you.
I welcome to be proven wrong tho!
So can someone with experience chime in….
If i use ebates the ebates link to book my stay at Marriott, afternoon my stay, then total amount I get charged (including incidentals) will tracker to ebates and i’ll get 10% back?
I believe you only earn cash back from Ebates on the base rate of the hotel (so no tax or room incidentals earn cash back).
As many have pointed out in the past: Avoid TCB. They often do not pay. They seem ok on the nickel and dime stuff but forget it on higher dollar amounts.
Just 5 minutes ago I got another refusal to pay on a hotel stay. They simply put it on the hotel saying they refused.
+1. Losing patience with TCB. I spend too much time submitting tickets for denied claims that have carefully followed fine-print.
This!
Interesting. TCB in my case, has been one of the most reliable ones along with eBates, even with/for high-amount purchases.

I second this. TCB has been highly unreliable, which is sad because they do offer the best return rate on paper.
