Ebates 20% back for Orbitz tickets

[umwhat]

Had this ever been done before? (20% from ebates?) Just trying to see if there's a history to this so I don't miss out next time!!

Just got $380 deposited into my Paypal account.

I wasn't expecting this until mid May, but hey I'll take it anytime.

I just got my very first ebates check for $7.55. How in the world do you get such a big check??! I didnt know if there was a secret...

Probably from buying $1900 worth of tickets at 20% cash back?

Is it easy to transfer back to your bank account from PayPal?? Maybe I'll switch to that...

I do it all the time. Takes about 2 business days and cost nothing

How much did you gets for credit when upgrading to annual passes?

I bought 4x 5 day tickets during the orbitz promotion and it seems that I only received 286 credit for each when upgrading to an annual pass. Could sworn I thought I'd get close to $325 each.

Did you use them at least once to enter a park before you upgraded them?

 

[xrayos]

Yes, I did.

 

[disfanforlife]

Yes, I did.

Sounds like the CM you got didn't know about bridging then. Because I got $323.76 credit towards PAP for my daughters tickets when I upgraded them last month. I had 5 day MYW base tickets.

 

[xrayos]

Wow! I'll be heading back to guest relations then

I got my check today.

In mid-March, used Orbitz ticket (5 day hopper, adult ticket) at HS and then upgrade it to a PAP around 2p the same day. I received a $387.xx credit (tax inclusive) towards my PAP. CM was being very generous because, under new policy, she only had to give me a $370.xx credit (tax inclusive price based on the time I purchased my voucher).

From the numbers you're quoting, sounds like you bought a non-hopper ticket.
A 5-day base ticket now costs $323.xx, but if you bought before the price hike, they would give you a $307.xx credit.

What I find confusing is that I can't even figure out where your CM pulled the $286 number from! A 3-day ticket is now priced at $291.xx and was $279.xx before price hike. Maybe you had some kids tickets in there that affects the average you received. But your average credit does sound too low for a 5-day ticket.

Definitely worth talking to another CM. Explain you had a 5-day ticket and should have received at least $307.79 credit per (adult) ticket; a kids ticket would be worth at least $287.55.

Good luck!

Thanks guys. Just got it taken care of. Full value of the tickets. They weren't sure what went wrong, but agreed I got the incorrect value.

 

[travelinggnomes]

I got my check today.

WOW! I would love if they would send out my check as well...but I thought they only send on certain days. Sometime in middle May? I would totally do the happy dance, if I received my big happy check, with just 1 week left before vacation!!!

 

[brandigregory]

Has anyone had success adding days to their ticket package? I bought the 5day non hopper and want to add 2 days. Just wondering how easy it was and the price. Thanks much!!

Can we definitely upgrade or change the tickets we buy through Orbitz? I picked up our tickets last week while we were at Disney. Do not need to use them yet since we have AP's. I asked the CM if I could upgrade these to a DVC AP Voucher. Was told no, since these were purchased through Orbitz. I asked if I could add Park Hopper on and was again told no. Is this really true or do I just need to go to another CM? Is it best to use he ticket first and than upgrade?

Yes, get another CM and yes, use the ticket first.
