Milepoint Premium Membership is Now Available!

Milepoint Premium membership was available a few weeks ago for a brief period of time before it sold out.  It cost $59 and if you travel with Hyatt and United it's likely worth buying just for the bonus points.  I'm not going to go into a whole lot of depth here as I think the included benefits speak for themselves.  I did take advantage of the offer when it was available previously.

Don’t leave Cash on the Table – 15% back at Priority Club Hotels with MrRebates.com

I'm not sure how long this sale is going to be running but I believe this is close to 3x the usual cashback amount for IHG hotels.
 

 


I’ve used other cash back sites over the years, including Big Crumbs, ebates, and TopCashBack.  I started with BigCrumbs, added ebates.com when some sites weren’t available on BigCrumbs and then eventually moved away from those sites as Mr. Rebates seemed to have a better selection of retailers and the best payouts.  TopCashBack does frequently offer slightly higher rebate percentages than Mr. Rebates but I've sometimes had problems with the transactions showing up in my account and getting credit.  I've never had any problems of the sort with Mr Rebates which is part of the reason they are my go to cash back portal.


What is Mr. Rebates?
Mr. Rebates is a shopping portal which provides cash back on purchases at select merchants.  Many of the major online retailers are partners with www.mrrebates.com and I tend to use them as my go to shopping portal as I find their cash back rates to be some of the best available.  They give you a $7.50 sign up bonus after your first purchase through their site and they do offer referal credits, so if you do choose to sign up I'd be appreciative if you'd use one of my links– if prompted for a referral email address, just use pointscashmiles@yahoo.com.
