Ebates for Online Shopping

Anytime I shop online, I check with ebates to see whether they offer cashback for the store website from which I am making a purchase. Even if I’ve already added items to my shopping bag on a website, I’ll close out of the website (the items usually stays in the cart for a period of time), log on to ebates and link back to the website from ebates in order to receive cash back.

Often ebates will list coupon codes for additional discounts at the store website. Ebates usually offers double cash back for select stores at different times---up to 15% or more, which can be significant, especially if you use a coupon code on your order. I usually google for coupon codes before I make any purchase and often receive free shipping or a percentage or amount off of my purchase (for example google “old navy coupon code” and you’ll come to a list of websites that post coupon codes for that store. I usually look at a couple of sites and see if there are any applicable coupons to use---this also tends to be when I remember to log into ebates to get my cash back). You’ll receive an email when Ebates has credited your account with cash back from a purchase within a few days.

I’ve been a member of Ebates since 2007 and have already received $54.95 cashback---for doing nothing but entering the store website through ebates and referring a few members. You can receive your cash back checks by mail or have them deposited into your paypal account. You’ll receive your rewards approximately 4 times/year. You can also designate a charity or a friend to receive your cash back.
If you use my link, you will receive a $5 bonus when you sign up and make your first purchase (full disclosure—I will receive $5 too). Refer friends from your unique link and receive $5 when they sign up!
