any good online sources for hotel gift cards?

[lishie]

I want to give my parents a hotel gift card so that they can go away. I've attempted to find something for an online travel agent, so that necessarily be tied to Marriott, or another company, so I didn't want to buy directly through them.

Has anyone done a giftcard to travelocity or Orbitz or another online travel broker? Any issues with using them or having restrictions on what you could use them for?

If you used ebates to purchase such a card, did you get ebates credit for the purchase, even though you were purchasing a gift card?

I haven't done a gift card, but I booked my last hotel through hotels.com because it was the best deal. No idea on ebates.
