Anyone who knows me knows I love shopping online and that I won’t hit the purchase button without making sure I have the best possible deal. I’ve traditionally used coupon codes to save money, but I have also added earning cash back to my arsenal with the help of Ebates.com.
I’ve been using Ebates to save money since 2011. In total, I have received almost $350 in cash back by simply clicking through their website.
What is Ebates.com?
Ebates.com is an online shopping portal where you earn cash back on all purchases made through the site. Ebates is connected to over 1,700 online retailers including Kohls, Target, Macy’s and even travel booking websites like Expedia.
How does Ebates.com work?
Ebates.com is simple to use and completely free to join. It takes less than a minute to sign-up and only an email address is required. To earn cash back, all you have to do is click over to your favorite online retailer through Ebates and make a purchase. Ebates creates a tracking ticket and is automatically notified once you complete your purchase. Each retailer offers various cash back amounts with some offering double and triple cash back throughout the year. I took advantage of this when I bought my RTW backpack, read about it here.
Four times a year Ebates will then send you a Big Fat Check! Other payment options include having the money automatically deposited into your PayPal account or given to a charity of your choice.

Why should YOU join Ebates.com?
You should join because you can earn up to 25% cash back on online purchases. In addition to the cash back earned through Ebates, you can still take advantage of sales and coupon codes from retailers.
For example, Ebates is currently offering 10% cash back at Macys.com. Macys.com is offering a 20% off coupon code. I need to buy a dress for an upcoming wedding and found the perfect one at Macy’s for $80. I will use the 20% off coupon code from Macy’s and by simply clicking through Ebates to Macy’s I will also earn 10% cash back on the purchase.
Regular Price: $80
20% Macy’s coupon: $16 off
10% Ebates: $6.40 cash back
Final Cost: $57.60 (total savings $22.40)
Lastly, Ebates is currently offering a $10 gift card sign-up bonus (Ex. Target and Starbucks) if you make a purchase of $25 or more within the first 90 days. You can sign-up for up Ebates by clicking through this link.
