Shopback is not so useful with Agoda because Agoda will mark up the price if you use Shopback. I compared the base price before and after using Shopback and most of the prices increased. Also the coupons and promotions from Agoda are not useable so it is better to bypass Shopback when booking in Agoda.

I booked a hotel this morning. My observation is it depends on the hotel price. If the price is less than rm 300, there is a mark up (ex. rm 173 with Agoda only, rm 180 with Shopback). One hotel has rm 301 per night and the price is still the same with Shopback.

Edit: After I compute, you still pay less with Shopback but it is not always 6%. If less than rm 300, the effective cashback rate can be 2.5% because of the mark up.

Shopback is cheating me. I bought a VPN with 55% cashback but they gave me only 2% cashback.
