Orbitz Cashback: Every Portal's Rate, Compared
No single Orbitz cashback rate wins outright; the table below shows what each portal offers.
Orbitz cash back rates by portal
Every rate below was read from that portal's own Orbitz page, and every row shows when we last looked. Where a rate has a catch, the catch is printed next to the number rather than underneath it.

Rates move without notice, so treat anything more than a couple of days old as worth re-checking at the portal before you shop.
How to get Orbitz cashback, step by step
No portal we track pays a flat everyday rate on Orbitz right now, so there's no single portal to send you to. Pick one from the table above, open its Orbitz page from the source link, and the steps are the same as on any other merchant page here: click through from the portal, shop in that same session, and check out without leaving for another coupon site.
Getting paid, portal by portal
Each portal's own help pages, as written there. The source link on each row goes to the page it came from. These are the portal's terms, not Orbitz's.

How these Orbitz numbers were produced
- Read directly from each portal's own merchant page, never copied from another comparison site.
- A rate we could not read is reported as unread. It is never converted into a zero, and a failed check never overwrites a previously good number.
- "Up to" and new-customer-only rates are labelled as such and are not allowed to win the top spot over a lower rate that everyone actually gets.
Orbitz cashback FAQ
Which portal pays the most for Orbitz cashback right now?
No portal we track pays a flat everyday rate on Orbitz right now. What each one shows, including ceilings and flat amounts, is in the table above with its catch next to it.
How long does Orbitz cashback take to pay out?
On a click-through portal there are two waits, one after the other: the portal has to confirm the order with Orbitz, which mostly tracks Orbitz's return window, and then the confirmed balance has to be paid out, which is the portal's own rule. Buying Orbitz's gift card through a portal skips the first wait: that cashback is paid when the card is bought.
- CouponFollow: Pending for up to 60 days, to ensure a purchase isn't returned or refunded. Payout: Monthly: paid on the 25th to the linked PayPal account, arriving by month end; rewards earned on or after the 25th roll to the next month.
- Mr. Rebates: Rebates post to Pending within 1 to 3 business days of the order or ship date, then stay Pending for 90 days from the posting date before moving to Available. Payout: On request, once $10 in Available Rebates has accrued.
