Yes, but that is not what happend here. You didn't spend anything to get the rebate, since you were reimbursed for the expenses by your employer. If you gave the rebate to your employer, they would not have to pay taxes on it as it was a reduction of the cost of the lodgeing expenses. But you never expended anything since you were reimbursed for your lodging expenses. In other words, if you had paid the lodging bill of lets say $100, then you got a $25 rebate, you are still out $75. But in your case, you are out nothing but are walking away with $50.
