For over a year, I kept reading on different blogs that everyone should shop through Ebates online. Finally, this fall I decided to see what it was all about, and I wish I would've used it earlier.
The site does exactly what it says... pays you to shop. Who wouldn't like that?!?! All you have to do is create an account and go through their Website when shopping.
How does that work, you might ask...
Every time you want to purchase something online, go to Ebates, log-in (if you aren't automatically logged in), type the name of the store that you are searching for in the search box at the top right, hit the magnifying glass (to activate the search), and then click on the orange "shop now" button that pops up on the store's Ebates page.
It is REALLY that simple!!!
Once you click on the "shop now" button, it will take you to that store's Website and Ebates records the transaction information. They will notify you within a couple of days telling you that they placed cash into your Ebates account.
Each store has different cash back percentages, and some stores offer increased cash back percentages on certain days. Ebates does an excellent job keeping you updated on the current promotions available too.
Then, 4 times a year, Ebates will send you a check for the amount that you have accumulated.
I began using Ebates when I started Christmas shopping online, and I already have $63.09 in my account. On February 15th, they will send me a check for the amount I have in my account.
If you haven't taken a few minutes to look into this Website, you definitely should...

I've heard of that too, but havent checked it out since I'm a sceptic;) how are the prices though? More than other retailers? Or the same since you're just going through a site to get to a regular retailers site? Wondering if they just jack up their prices in order to give you money back....
ReplyDeleteThey are the exact same. The exact same website, coupons, and everything... I usually check out the store websites before going through ebates. Put everything in my basket because most sites save your basket for a little while, and then go through the ebates to purchase. So far, I haven't found a catch. :)
