? about purchasing Ebates/Orbitz tickets when ticket price goes up

[sgrap]

Question about the Orbitz tickets. We bought them in for our May 2013 trip and then upgraded to AP's. They actually bridged the full price of the 5 day AP (it was the buy 4 day get 5th day free like it is now). So let's say we buy them now and the the price goes up before our November trip. Would they give us the current price ($300) toward the AP or the new higher price of the 5 day hopper toward the AP? Basically I'm asking that if we are planning on upgrading to AP's anyway, is it worth it to buy them now, or does it not matter because they will just give us the current price --whatever we paid for them basically--toward the AP anyway? I keep hoping the Ebates Orbitz rebate will go up. Also, if they only give us the price of the hopper at the time we bought them, would it be better to wait and see if the price goes up so we get a percentage of a higher amount (meaning more $ back)? Hope this makes sense!

You'll get the value of the tickets when you paid for them. If there is an increase you don't get the current value after the increase. One reason to buy now would be that you spread out the cost of the APs more than if you buy the tickets right before upgrading.
