Since the 1990s, I have had an Ebates account and have saved hundreds of dollars simply by clicking through to the most popular online retailers.
Companies I buy from for which I click through from Ebates include:
- Home Depot – save 2%, and you can order your local purchases online so instead of paying face value in store you can save 2% and have them get your purchase ready or have it sent to your house.
- Blinds.com – save 4% just by clicking (and I got free shipping)
- Overstock.com – save 4% just by clicking
- Target
- Travelocity and others.
Sometimes they even have DOUBLE cash back and awesome coupons you simply click to use.
There is seriously no catch, and like I said I have been using Ebates for more than 15 years.
No sign up, just a click through.
Ebates makes their money through affiliate agreements with thousands of online shops.
They pass on part of their fee to you, the online shopper. The info that you clicked from Ebates is stored in the cookie, in your browser, so the online shopping site knows to give you the discount.
Instant savings, no promo codes.
Please be a smart online shopper for my sanity (and for the bonus I’ll get for you using my link) and sign up for Ebates.
Even if you are of the wealth-minded school that it’s better to make more money than cut coupons, clicking through Ebates doesn’t take any more time than shopping directly with the site.
It’s seriously easy and seriously a no brainer, both for your small business shopping and personal shopping.
Choose how to get your big fat rebate payment.
You can have Ebates deposit your earnings online or have them mail you a check at no charge.
