Frequently asked questions

Can I redeem cashback for cash?

Tokens are tradeable on partner exchanges; you can convert to fiat. 25% of cashback is also redeemable on the IMPT Visa debit card.

Does cashback work on cancellations?

Cashback is processed at booking. If you cancel before the property charges, the cashback is reversed. After stay completion, cashback is final.

Can I stack cashback with hotel loyalty points?

Yes — IMPT cashback is separate from hotel-side loyalty programmes (Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, etc.). You earn both.

When does the cashback hit my account?

At booking confirmation, not after the stay completes. Cancellation reverses the cashback if the property has not yet charged.

How does this compare to credit card cashback?

Credit card cashback (1-2% typically) is paid in card credit, expires, and has tier conditions. IMPT's 5% is paid in tradeable tokens with on-chain proof and no expiry.
