Website of the Day: Ebates

How did I, online shopping Jedi, not know about Ebates?! One of my friends just turned me on to this website, which gives you both online coupons and cash back on your purchases from a ton of my favorite online stores.
For me that means Bluefly, Nordstrom, drugstore.com, as well as the Apple Store and eBags (a great destination for laptop bags).

Just sign up (it's free) and once signed in, navigate to the store you want to shop at from Ebates. Once you make a purchase, Ebates tracks it for you and sends you a check for your cash-back credit!

I've also heard good things about Fatwallet, which is similar to Ebates. Sometimes I think the universe wants me to shop.

I've heard of this site before but I like to read lots of reviews about security and credibility for these sites, and so this review from geeksugar is very helpful.

I've been using ebates for about a year, and I love it. And they really do give you cash back, they send you a check one a quarter of the amount you earned for that quarter. Lucky also has a similar site, www.luckymagrewards.com, which I also use, but it is only availabe to lucky magazine subscribers.

I've used ebates for a long while! I also use foryourcause.com which donates in the same way ebates gives you credit, just by shopping.

I've been using Ebates for the last 6 months or so, and I think it's awesome! The only down side is that I sometimes forget to sign in before I place my order... it sucks because this has happened with two orders that were over $100. And if you forget to sign in, they cannot credit your account.

I've found www.savingswatch.com gives back more cashback. They also seem to have a lot more coupons.

I use retailmenot too, but that's just for discount code, not cash back.

I use momsview.com at least every week and have been using the site for more than a year. Great coupons and updated regularly. There are expiration dates so u don't have to apply 50 different coupons b4 finding a current one.
