Ebates is offering 12% cash back on Marriott.com bookings.
If you aren’t already an Ebates member, join, and we’ll both get credit with your first booking or other purchase through their site — you get $10 credit as long as your purchase is for $25 or more.
Historically the payout was less than 2%, so this is an amazing deal that probably won’t last. It’s worth it to make any Marriott (including Starwood) bookings through the site, and to make as many as you may need quickly. Indeed, making cancellable bookings that you may need can make good sense.
Since you’re sent from Ebates to Marriott’s own website you will of course earn elite credit and have elite status recognized, as well as earning Marriott points for your stay and availing yourself of their member rates.
Terms and conditions:

Hey Gary, has there ever been a known case for points/nights to not post for a marriott stay from ebates? I did a quick search and it seems like most times points/nights post as expected. I have a stay coming up for 9 nights, that I switched over to a reservation thru your link thru ebates. BUT im short 10 nights from my 75. Id hate to find out after the fact that the 9 nights dont post. I cant find anything int he ToC that says we wont get the night credit. any insights? Thanks
@Bobby, I’ve never had an issue. It’s just a shopping portal, it works the same as if you went to marriott’s website directly.
