Ebates is the pioneer and leader of online Cash Back Shopping. The company was founded in 1998 (the year I gradulated high school!) by two Deputy District Attorneys who used to prosecute online fraud & identity theft before starting Ebates (so you can be sure they are very into secure online transactions!). Joining Ebates is always free - you'll never pay anything. And four times a year, they will mail you a "Big Fat Check", or transfer the money to your PayPal account. They can even send the money to your favorite charity. All 100% free. But, how can they afford to do something like this? Here is how they explain it:
The best thing is, IT'S EASY! Before you make a purchase just go to the Ebates site and search for the retailer you're looking for. (9 times out of 10 they will have coupons codes for these retailers that will save you even more $$$!) Click "shop now" the retailers site will pop up in another window. Then shop & check out as you normally would....that's all you have to do. You'll get an email later telling your your cash back has been verified & the $ will be placed in your Ebates account within a couple days. SO much better than Mail in Rebates that often require cutting out UPC's and filling out forms."It really is quite simple. Just like almost every other online shopping center, we get a commission from the stores when you make a purchase. Instead of keeping that money - like almost all other sites do - we share it with you! So, as long as 1200+ of the world's top online stores are happy to pay a bonus to attract the new, valuable customers we send their way, Ebates is going to continue to send Big Fat Checks to our satisfied customers across the globe."

Since signing up a year ago I've saved $100's with cash back and coupon codes....no joke. I'll give you an example of how easy it can be to save: Every Christmas one of the gifts we give to our moms is a photobook from Snapfish with pictures of the grandkids from that year. They've come to expect them and would be terribly disappointed if we didn't get them. I got an email at the first of Dec. from Ebates....they had 20% cash back at Snapfish! I went to the Ebates site and searched for Snapfish. I ALWAYS check the coupon codes on Ebates before I click "Shop Now" and I found a code for Buy 1 photobook get 2 free & FREE shipping! The book I normally get is 8X11 and costs about $40 each. This year since I was able to get such a great deal I "upgraded" to the 12X12 book ($50) & I ordered 3 copies (Yippee! I got a copy for myself for FREE). Here is the difference:
WITHOUT Ebates
TWO 8X11 Photobooks Total = $79.98 + tax
WITH Ebates
THREE 12x12 Photobooks Subtotal $149.97
Coupon Code - $99.98
Paid =
Ebates Cash Back - $10.00
Total Cost Out of Pocket = $39.99
This is just one example. I could give you tons more, but this post is already long enough! :) My check should be in my mailbox within the next 2 weeks. Now the question is what am I going to spend it on???
