THE POINTS GUY: Get 5% Cash Back by Booking Hotels with The Guestbook

Looking for something a little more tangible from your hotel rewards program? A new travel site, The Guestbook, actually gives you 5% cash back for booking directly with more than 450 independent and boutique hotels around the world, including 255 in Europe, 140 in North America, 35 in Asia, 18 in South America, nine in Africa and four in Australia.

The site is really easy to use — just sign up for a free account (via email or Facebook), search for participating hotels and book directly through The Guestbook or the actual website of the hotel you want to stay in. Each available hotel will then appear, showing the going rates for booking direct — click on the nifty Compare Rates button to see how much the same property is listed for on Hotels.com and Travelocity for those dates.
