Instant Cash Travel Programs

The Orbitz Rewards Program Gives Back Money Instantly

— April 23, 2014 — Marketing
It can take over a decade for most people to accumulate enough travel points with certain credit cards or travel programs to actually get something back, but with the new Orbitz Rewards program, you see rewards with every purchase! The simple program rewards you faster than anyone else and you don't have have to worry about calculating points; it's completely hassle-free.

When you sign up for the program and book through Orbitz, you can earn up to 5% back on hotels, 2% back on flights and 1% back on vacation packages. One Orbitz Dollar (an Orbuck) is equal to $1 USD in travel savings. Also, if you still want to commit to your flyer miles you can: they will be added on top of your rewards.
