      POWER OF ATTORNEY

The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of Steven D. Barnhart and
James R. Gilmartin, signing singly, as the undersigned's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to:

(1)	execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity
as an officer of Bankrate, Inc. (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
thereunder (the "Exchange Act") and Form ID, if necessary, to obtain EDGAR codes
and related documentation for use in filing Forms 3, 4 and 5;

(2)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 or
Form ID, complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely
file such forms with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and
any stock exchange or similar authority;

(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion; and

(4)	seek or obtain, as the undersigned's attorney-in-fact and on the
undersigned's behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company's
securities from any third party, including brokers, employee benefit plan
administrators and trustees, and the undersigned hereby authorizes any such
person to release any such information to such attorney-in-fact and approves and
ratifies any such release of information.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in connection with the exercise of any of the
rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, herby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned acknowledges that the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

This Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from responsibility for
compliance with the undersigned's obligations under the Exchange Act, including,
without limitation, the reporting requirements under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act.  Additionally, although pursuant to this Power of Attorney the Company will
use commercially reasonable
best efforts to timely and accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the
undersigned, the Company does not represent or warrant that it will be able to
in all cases timely and accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the
undersigned due to various factors and the undersigned and the Company's need to
rely on others for information, including the undersigned and brokers of the
undersigned.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned had caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 9th day of December, 2014.
