Ebates rocks. I use it as my landing page before I purchase anything on-line. In a nutshell, it’s shopping site that pays an average of 5% cash back every time you shop on-line. They represent over 800 stores including Barnes & Noble.com, The Gap, Target, Buy.com and Expedia. Get into the habit of using them and watch your savings pile up over time. Plus you can still use your own promo codes get additional savings with exclusive coupons and free shipping offers found on the Ebates site.
Most recently I purchased a couch from Design Within Reach on line and ended up with a nice $160.00 rebate. The catch? They track your spending from their landing page. Now some may think this infringes upon their shopping privacy, but after 3 years of using them I’ve yet to be spammed and frankly, saving $200-$300 a year in rebates is worth them knowing I shop at the Gap for my skivvies. Sign up now and get a $5 bonus when you make your first purchase–For every friend you send their way, they’ll add $5 to your account and $5 to theirs. All they have to do is sign up and make a qualifying purchase.
Extrabux is also a new kid on the block with 600 stores under there belt and slightly higher payouts.
It may seem like pocket change at first but if you’re a die hard on-line shopper like me, the rebates add up nicely over time.
