Ebates

If anyone hasn’t heard of Ebates yet, this one is worth the read. 

Ebates is an online affiliate program that can help earn you discounts each time you shop online. You enroll with Ebates (free) and each time you want to shop, you start at the Ebates site and click on the store you want to shop with. Ebates tells you the discount each store is offering to members.  The discount amount ranges greatly and most stores sit at about 4-6% but if you think about it, earning 6% back just for shopping………its FREE money.  ;)  There are also over 800 stores to choose from by searching keywords or browsing by category.

 As an example, I just ordered a very narrow wood console table for our hallway from Bellacor costing about $200 and $12 was credited to my Ebates account.  This particular store offers a 6% rebate. 

 I’ve been a member of Ebates for many years but have often forgotten to start my shopping on the Ebates site, missing out on my FREE money.  But now Ebates has taken care of that for me!  They have a toolbar that you can download and each time you point your browser to an Ebates associated store, Ebates automatically will record/track it to ensure you get your rebate!  How wonderful for some of us mama fried brains! 

When your get your friends to sign up…..you also get a $5 bonus when they make their first purchase.

    Hi Lauren! I\’m Rebecca, the blogger at Ebates.

    I\’m so glad you\’ve enjoyed getting Cash Back! Isn\’t it a pain when you forget to visit Ebates first? Then you realize just how much Cash Back you could have gotten, etc. I recommend getting our reminder tool that you mentioned above. If you ever decide you don\’t want it, you can easily take it off your computer. It\’s just a great way to remember when you\’re visiting the site of an Ebates merchant.

    I\’d like to invite you to check out our blog: http://blog.ebates.com. I also wonder if you would like to add me to your homepage blogroll/links and I\’ll do the same.

    Let me know what you think!
    Rebecca
