The rebates used to be larger than they are now, but it's still a pretty good deal. You don't have to do anything besides go through their website to get to the store you are going to shop from. My first check was over $28 because of christmas purchases and referrals. I haven't had much extra junk mail from it so I highly recommend it.

P.S. I'm sending you an email.

I think it's worth it. All you have to do is sign up and go through the site when you shop. I've probably gotten about $40 to $50 back in six months or so. Not a ton of money, but it's really easy to do.

It's nice to get a little something back. If you can use someone's email as a referral they get 5 dollars. I used someone's from this board when I signed up. You can use mine if you don't already have someone but it;s nice when you have a friend or family to do it for. Sometimes you can get gift certs for places you go anyway and then you get money back that way.

Yep, it's worth it!

When you buy $1000 worth of blinds, even that little 3% helps!

I've been happy. All you have to do is shop starting at their site. Most of the time (with my purchases anyways), I can find the best price overall at an ebates retailer, plus get a bit back.

I've personally have seen no downside. (ie, no spam, no bait and switch, no problems actually getting the rebates, reputable retailers, etc.)

It's the greatest! I don't see a downside. It's kind of like "You might as well." That is, if you keep in mind that the goal is to buy things you need at a discount, not just 'cuz you can get 5% back or whatever. :)
