I don’t normally use an online travel agency. I’m somewhat obsessed with re-earning my Marriott
hotel status and need all my night credits! But when you are booking a boutique non-chain hotels, that’s a perfect time to turn to sites like hotels.com and Orbitz for deals, usually in the form of discounts and coupons.
Orbitz has a bit of an interesting one today. In “celebration” of tax day, if you book today they will rebate up to $250 in taxes and fees back to your Orbucks account for your next booking. It’s valid for hotel only or air+hotel packages (which, by the way, can be a solid deal compared to booking separately).
Note that, sadly, it does not include rebating any fees you pay at the property, like resort fees.
Best part? Ebates is offering 5% back at Orbitz today – so you can totally double dip for up to around 30% off.
Taking advantage of this? Let me know here, on Twitter, or in the private MilesTalk Facebook group.
New to all of this? The “introduction to miles and points” book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points is available now.
