15X at Hotels.com via Capital One Shopping: good deal, fine print matters

Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers are running a daily deal for Hotels.com purchases up to 15X back, but the multipliers vary — Stephen sees 14% on Shopping and 10X on Offers, while others see 15X on both. The 15X is on completed hotel stays, with car rentals earning 3X. Payouts take up to 45 days and require booking within 24 hours of clicking through, and the cashback is only redeemable for gift cards. Using non-Capital One cards with Offers may fail to trigger, so Shopping is the safer bet for those without a Capital One card.

the play

Check Capital One Shopping's home page for the offer of the day, and if you don't see 15X, test the link anyway, then book within 24 hours using a Capital One card for the Offers layer or rely on Shopping alone.

This drop was reframed from a real reader question asked around the web. Written with the assistance of a language model in the voice of Amelia Yeaher.

Trip.com deal: 17.5% cashback is solid, but past rates hit 36.5%.

Capital One Shopping and Offers are running a deal on Trip.com today (September 9) with up to 17.5% cashback or 17X miles on hotel, lodging, and car rental bookings. Flights earn 3.5%/3X, and other categories like tours or transfers earn 2.5%/2X. Rates are targeted, so you may see higher offers. The cashback from Capital One Shopping is redeemable only for gift cards, not cash. This is a decent return, but note that past deals (like in March) offered up to 36.5% for hotels, so this is a step down. The deal expires today.

Log into your Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers accounts, check your targeted rates for Trip.com, and book any eligible travel before the September 9 deadline.

Don't book on TopCashback's 16% Klook rate until you read the fine print.

TopCashback has boosted rates across IHG, Radisson, Viator, GetYourGuide, Klook, Expedia and more, but the 'up to' qualifiers change the deal. Viator's 15% is only for new customers, while existing customers earn 10%. Expedia's 10% applies only to new customers booking activities, with existing customers seeing 5%-8% for other travel. IHG's 12% is limited to Iberostar, though all IHG brands earn 10%. No expiry is listed, so compare rates on Cashback Monitor or Savewise before committing.

Check the 'up to' terms on each rate, then compare on Cashback Monitor before booking.
