Ibotta is offering increased cashback rates for several travel sites this week. While not all of them are the highest portal rates available, a few, including Choice Hotels and Hertz, are, making this worth a closer look.

- Booking.com – 7%
- Choice Hotels – 9%
- Travelocity – 7% (hotels only)
- Orbitz – up to 9%
- eBags – 13%
- IHG – 8%
- Hotwire – up to 6%
- SiriusXM – $17
- Hertz – 9%
- HP – 2%(?!)
Key Terms
- Expires May 20, 2019 at 2:59am.

Quick Thoughts
A few of these retailers can be ignored, like HP at only 2% and eBags at 13% seeing as several other portals are currently paying 15-18% for eBags.
There are a few mildly sweet spots in this list though. 9% cashback on Choice Hotels bookings is good seeing as the highest rate elsewhere is only 7.2%, unless you’re booking a Cambria property, in which case go with TopCashback for 10%. Clicking through from Ibotta takes you directly to Choice which means you’ll earn points, stay credits and benefit from status, plus your stay will be eligible for Choice’s latest promotion.
8% back for IHG reservations is also pretty good, although TopCashback is currently offering 8% and Mr Rebates has it at 10%. If it’s been a while since you’ve used the Ibotta app though and you still have a balance sitting in there, clicking through from Ibotta could be worthwhile as it’ll extend the expiry date of your cashback.
Hertz is another good deal, as 9% is higher than you’ll get through any other cashback portal. 9% is also being offered for Orbitz, although that’s only for car rentals and cruises. Ebates is still paying 15% for car rentals booked through Orbitz as part of its birthday week celebrations, although that rate is due to end today (May 13).
There’s no direct link to these offers as they can only be accessed through the Ibotta app. If you’re new to Ibotta, feel free to sign up with one of our referrals with our thanks:
