My lovely Aunt told me about Ebates. She had just received her first check and even though it wasn't very much, it was something. If you do any online shopping your going to want to sign up. For those of you that have never heard of Ebates let me tell you what it is.
Ebates is an online rebate website. When you are needing to make a purchase from an Ebates approved website you use the link from Ebates and it opens up the website and you shop as normal. After you have made a purchase, Ebates automatically applies your rebate amount to your Ebates account. Each online store has a set percentage for rebate. Here are some examples:
Ebay (yes, Ebay is on there) gives you 1%. That isn't a lot, I know, but if you do a lot of shopping on Ebay it's basically free money.
Sears gives you 6%!
Kohl's is 6%!
Even hotel finding websites. Hotels.com will give you 3.25% in rebate money. So let's do some math here. If you were to stay in a hotel for 5 nights at $100 a night ($500) you would receive.....$16.25 into your Ebates account for purchasing something you were already going to purchase.
The Apple store gives you 1% back so buying an iPad that cost around $500 would put $5 into your account.
Again, it's not a lot, but it's things you were going to purchase anyways.
There are a TON of websites on Ebates that I will not list and they have a lot of coupons as well.
They send out checks quarterly throughout the year. They also can pay through Paypal, which is always my preferred method.
You can sign up for your account here.
If you are an existing Ebates customer please let me about your experience in the comment section below.
