Member since 2008

I love Ebates





Is there anything else like Ebates? Other shopping portals that give you cash back too?

Mr. Rebates is great. Always pays a higher % back so I don't even compare anymore.

That's so interesting! I've found that Ebates is always higher, so I've stopped comparing it to Mr. Rebates. I guess it depends on where you shop!

I mainly use ebates because I find their process for when cash back isn't credited to be more forgiving than Mr. Rebates. I also occasionally use upromise which is generally 5% for any store they have.

Ebates is $471 for me. I find it mostly higher than Mr. Rebates, too.

$525, don't know offhand when I joined. It would probably be higher but I do a lot of Amazon shopping and forget to go through it for that. I haven't compared with other rebate sites and probably should.

Evreward.com is a great site to see what each cash back site, miles, upromise etc are offering for each merchant. I always go there first and then decide who to purchase through.

$485 since 2012. It would probably be more but I often forget to activate it. I use the automatic feature which I kind of love/hate. It has this annoying window that pops up as soon as you open a participating website. Usually I activate it if I know I am going to buy something. Other times I turn it off immediately if I am browsing because it's so large and it hovers- but of course I usually forget to activate the tab again when I go to buy something.

Ebates is $1283.71 since 2005, but I find better amount on Mr. Rebates at 1416.57 since 2010. I always check evreward.com and use upromise as well but find I get confirmation and can request monthly paypal from mrrebates so it's my preferred.

Me too. Love evreward!

I've gotten $556.40 Total Cash Back since...I'm not sure since when! I think 2008. I've earned $198.67 from Mr Rebates, and I use Discover rewards, too.

I was an early adopter, around 1999 and the early days of online shopping! We used to get ridiculous discounts from babycenter and others I've forgotten lol

I have $1814!

I can't find my join date, but I know I've been a member for half of forever. Used to get cash back on my phone bill with AT&T. That was great!

Not trying to hijack the thread but I haven't joined any reward sites and this is interesting. When I shop on Amazon I go through the link provided to me by my church so they get a kick back - let's say I were to join ebates, I couldn't then go through the church link anymore, or could I?

Nope. The Smile program has it's own "entrance" to the site, so going through Ebates would bring you in a different way.

I hate buying things from places that are not on Ebates! :)

Not sure where to find when I joined, but I have earned $446.30. Hotel bookings have helped get me lots back... and Christmas shopping.

Would you like a referral to Ebates? I would love to give you one and help you start earning money back.


Who would like to send me a referral for Mr. Rebates?

I have around $250 back from Ebates, but I probably didn't start using it until around 2010 and the demise of Bing cashback. I use Mr. Rebates and Upromise heavily, depending on which offers the best cashback. I have also found Saving Star to offer the highest cashback recently, but I am not sure I have really received all of it, so I am a little wary...

Since 2012, I've gotten almost $400. I've got $56 pending. I've booked several hotels through Orbitz. Also purchased Disneyland hoppers thru Orbitz when it was a double cash back, IIRC. I got $100 back on that purchase!

I just wanted to add that I used to forget a lot. However, I discovered that if you use Chrome as your browser, you can add an Ebates extension. If you have it installed, the extension will alert you when you visit a site if ebates are available.

This was Nov 2013. My rebate was 10%. I'm sure I got wind of this through the Disboards. It was awesome since it helped us save when we upgraded to annual passes.

I believe DL tix are categorized under activities, IIRC. This is from the ebates site:

8.10% Cash Back on Cruises
3.75% Cash Back on Activities
2.00% Cash Back on Hotels
1.25% Cash Back on Packages
$3.75 Cash Back on Cars
$2.25 Cash Back per Air Ticket

Oh cool

Thank you

I know that in Feb 2014 they had a cashback for 20% on Disney tickets.

$108.28. Unfortunately, many places I like to shop do not do eBates, plus I have cut back my personal shopping a lot post-Biscuit.
