With the holiday season bursting through the door and literally right around the corner it is time to start shopping and hit the stores hard to stock up on gifts, presents and holiday decor! As a Mom of four on a budget I want to save as much money as possible while shopping so that we get more out of our money. In 2007 while pregnant and shopping on a very tight budget we met and fell in love with EBATES!
Ebates is an online shopping portal site where users sign up in as little as five minutes in just a few simple clicks and begin shopping, earning and saving! Ebates has two different features and they work together in unison to maximize your savings. Once you create an account you are taken to Ebates homepage where you can browse through today’s double cash back deals, hot stores, and exclusive online coupon codes. Find a coupon or store you are interested in, click on it, you are instantly transferred to the store WITH coupon code and earnings already applied. Nothing more for you to do!
For instance, say I want to shop at Target, I click on the link and Ebates automatically transfers me to Target.com to start shopping. As of today the current cash back earnings for Target is 4.0%. After I complete my checkout, my earnings are automatically in the Ebates system and pending. Simple as that, easy right?
Those of us that shop online it truly does save us money by using the coupons and earning cash back, where else can you do that? Now if you really want to start saving you could earn even more cash back as you double team and earn from Ebates AND your awards using your credit card, it adds up, and quick!
Every 3 months, Ebates will send you a cash back payment for purchases posted during the previous quarter based on their set schedule. But if you have earned less than $5.01 cash back, they will carry over your money to the next quarter.You can get your cash back in three different methods.
- Big Fat Check: Ebates will send a check directly to you – mailing fees are on them. Be sure your settings are updated before they send out a payment to be sure you get your money.
- PayPal: Ebates will deposit your payment in your PayPal account – sender’s fees are on them. Just enter your full name and mailing address into your Address, Email & Password page for verification purposes. Your PayPal account must also be verified.
- Charity/Organization/Family Member: If you think cash back is all gravy, why not send it to your favorite charity, organization or family member? It’s free and mailing fees are on Ebates. Go to the Cash Back Method to send your cash back to a charity, organization or family member.
Sounds amazing right? Since we joined in 2007 we have earned a total of $1,179. We have used over 30 exclusive Ebates coupons and taken advantage of the endless free shipping deals simply by shopping through Ebates!
With the holiday’s right around the corner, now it’s your turn to start earning cash back and racking up the big fat checks! It is literally a handful of simple clicks to get started. Start saving now to take advantage of the huge cash back savings rolling in daily.
