It's an online rewards program that pays you back for shopping at other online websites by logging into their website first and then clicking through their links to the merchant.

Ebates is currently offering 20% back on "activities" purchases on Orbitz. Orbitz lists Disney tickets among their "activities" that you can purchase.

Either. You can choose your form of payment. But they only send it out quarterly. The next payment is scheduled to go out on May 15th.

So I'm floored! I could book for a week with flight and tickets and CBR for $3300. This means I'd get $660 back ?! Holy cow! Where has ebates been all my life?!

The 20% rebate is only on "activities", which included Disney tickets. Flights and room reservations made on Orbitz thru Ebates have a different rebate percentage.

And the 20% rebate is a temporary offer. It is usually 10% back.

Well that makes more sense...... Still a great deal. Since I'm new at this, what do I do? After clicking on the link in ebates I have to enter a code or it automatically applies? There is another "code" for $150 of flight and hotel packages. Can you do multiple codes?
