Let’s explore which travel merchants provide enhanced earnings at TopCashBack.

Get up to 15% cash back on hotel bookings

You can enjoy savings on major hotel chains with lower earning rates, such as 15% on bookings at IHG Hotels & Resorts. However, be aware that TopCashBack specifies that only certain brands qualify for earning, including InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, Even, Hotel Indigo, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, and Avid. Exclusions include Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants (in North and South America), Mr & Mrs Smith hotels, Six Senses properties, Army Hotels, and all hotels in Israel.

Specific properties within the IHG network are also presenting distinct cash-back offers, such as 9% cash back at Voco, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn, Even, and InterContinental locations.

ALL — Accor Live Limitless is providing up to 6% cash back on select stays as well. Bookings at Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, Raffles Hotels & Resorts, and Swissotel Hotels & Resorts earn 3% cash back, while other Accor brands in the U.S. yield 6% cash back.

Moreover, you can earn 6% cash back at Marriott, 9% cash back at Hilton, 5.05% cash back on Best Western bookings, and 10.1% cash back on international stays at Radisson Hotel Group properties.

If you already have a reservation with one of these hotel groups, consider whether it makes sense to cancel and rebook your stay. This can be a wise choice if you can cancel your current booking without penalties and if the new rates are similar to or better than your original rate.

Save on rental car bookings with TopCashBack

TopCashBack also offers several enhanced cash-back rates on rental cars. You can earn 10.1% cash back with Hertz and Sixt, 5.05% cash back on Dollar rentals, and 2.02% cash back with most other major U.S. rental car companies, including Enterprise, Avis, Budget, and National.

The platform is providing 8.08% cash back on Europcar rentals across the U.K., U.S., France, Germany, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal.

Regardless of your rental location, use a credit card that includes a rental car damage waiver. This can cover any damages to the rental car, preventing you from needing to claim it on your personal insurance. Additionally, you can save money by skipping the damage waiver offered by the rental company. Be sure to check your credit card's insurance policy to understand what is covered.

In summary

TopCashBack is providing enhanced earning opportunities at numerous hotel and rental car companies, helping you maximize your travel budget.

If you have already booked a hotel or rental car, consider canceling and rebooking through TopCashBack to benefit from the increased cash-back rates. Additionally, if you anticipate needing a hotel or rental car soon, it might be wise to secure your reservation now to take advantage of the higher TopCashBack rates. You can always cancel if you choose a flexible rate.
