Ebates cash back on tickets from Orbitz?

[kaybee1476]

On our last trip to WDW almost 2 years ago, we were fortunate enough to get our park tickets from Orbitz when they had 20% cash back on Activities (such as WDW tickets) through Ebates. Currently they are only offering 3.75% cash back. Does anyone know if they still occasionally bump that up to 20% or even 10% cash back? It was wonderful to get about $250 back from Ebates after purchasing our tickets last time!

Thanks,
Kara

Anything is possible, but I haven't seen anything even close to that over the past couple of years.

I have lots of time til our next trip, so I'll keep checking. I just wondered if anyone had seen any cash back deals lately so I'd know whether to get my hopes up. It was actually because of the disboards that I found out about it the last time. Thanks for your reply!

I got an email yesterday stating that there will be 250 stores with 15% CB to celebrate ebates birthday. Its starts May 9, maybe orbitz will be one of them.

That was the one and only time I've ever seen EBates that high for Orbitz. It's never been that high again. I don't think it's even hit 10% since then.

I got that email too. I'm hoping the same thing!

You can google which retailers participated last year. Orbitz wasn't one of them.

Aw, man! Here's hoping they do this year! With the 3.75% cash back that it is now, it would be cheaper to get our tickets from parksavers.com. Our trip isn't until November, so I'll keep an eye out for a better deal.

We got the 20% cash back two years ago, too! Our check was over $300. I hope someone will post here if they ever see that again.

Have you considered buying with gift cards you get at a discount? I save over 20% on Disney gift cards regularly.

Where do you buy the Disney gift cards from at 20% off?

Just read the Disney Gift Card Deals thread. It takes some work, but it can be done.

I think there are more participating this year.

We will see. I don't get my hopes up as it's typically stores I don't shop at.

I haven't seen it that high since two years ago. I purchased tickets for multiple trips. That was a great deal!

I have read the first 25 pages of that thread (still reading posts from 2012), but there are 889 pages. Can you please give me the Cliffs Notes version of what you're talking about?

A lot of people are posting that they are having good luck with parksavers.com. Maybe you could try them?

That's what I'm planning to do unless I suddenly find myself with 3 days of free time to read up on the gift card thread. Parksavers is definitely the best deal I've found.
