Ebates

gazelle77 — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:04:06 GMT

I recently joined Ebates and wonder why I waited so long! Free money back just for shopping for the things I would buy anyway!

My question is why QVC is not participating in this program? EBay does as well as HSN and with HSN I not only got a rebate, I received a $10.00 coupon on my order!

QVC just DOES NOT GET "IT". They are such a tight wad in giving back to the consumer who is their bread and water. No Paypal, no, coupons, no REAL markdowns.... I just am getting to the point where I would rather give my purchase money to those companies who appriciate their customers. More and more I am shopping elsewhere than QVC.

Perhaps this "tightwad" effect at QVC boils over into the pay of their hosts and vendors compared to other networks... and thus why they have lost several very good hosts/ vendors and losing more....

It is good to be frugal, but, to be CHEAP is a whole different thing. Easy pays are not a big deal... everyone gives easy pays, and the other channels offer them all the time. Time for QVC to wake up and join the real world of shopping where treatment of the consumer comes first.

I use mrrebates and QVC participates. No reason to not use both mrrebates and ebates.

Thankyou Krimpette. I was not aware of mrrebates.

I use both also. And sometimes IF a particular retailer doesn't do either of those, they use Upromise . . . I've also earned almost 300.00 through them . . . use to LL Bean didn't use both, same for Belk/Parisian . . . I've said it here before . . . I just click through www.evrewards.com to see who has the "best if any" rebates or free shipping codes or extra % off codes . . . as it does vary between the main two . . . ebates & mrrebates on percentages. And THEN I "click-thru" there to the best deal vs. checking them individually. Oh also shopdiscover shows up on the evrewards list too when it is available.

OVC DOES participate in the Ebates program. The hard part when first getting started, is to remember to go to Ebates first, before accessing your shopping site. If you forget, they can't correct things after the fact.

QVC is on ebates. They give 2.5% back.

I only use Mr. Rebates. I like having everything under one location.

I prefer ebates . . . IF all else is equal . . . i.e. % . . . because of the tracking ticket ability they have. I've lost out on a rebate or two through mrrebates . . . but ebates with the tracking ticket almost immediately credits the rebate ""while they investigate"" and then it become a permanent credit upon their completion. Doesn't happen often but it does happen with all of them it seems . . . probably on the retailers end . . especially IF they ship your larger orders in multiple shipments.

I guess I tried using QVC on Ebates and it did not work for some reason. I will check into it. I do like the little extra savings as every little bit helps. A coupon or two would be nice from QVC as well... but you can not ask for the world...

I'm not sure what you mean exactly but you can track through Mr. Rebates as well. I had an issue with some purchases through HSN and was able to go on Mr. Rebates and under My Account there is a Click Summary and it shows the date, time and store that you were on when you went through Mr. Rebates.

Doesn't work for A-D's or Easy Pay.

I guess they've added that feature then. I've been with both for going on almost 10 years now and never noticed MR added the tracking feature. Just got a payment from them earlier this month and I think due for an ebates payment next month. Thanks for letting me know they've added it.

Does Mr Rebates work on AD and Easy Pay ..... anyone?

My experience is that Mr. Rebates does NOT work on AD items. It will only give you the rebate on the first shipment only, not on future shipments.

I have always had Mr. Rebates give me the rebate on the full cost of what I buy even if I choose to use easy pay. So if I buy something that is $30.00 on 3 easy pays of $10.00, I get the rebate on the $30.00 when I order, then nothing after that.

Re: Ebates

Qwackertoo — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:44:33 GMT

Well, I checked . . . looks like ebates now offers the rebate on Easy Pay . . . but still only first shipment of AD's. Seems they are loosening up the rules . . . I guess with fatwallet and all the other programs they have to keep up to remain competitive.

I don't order much from QVC these days. Once in awhile a beauty TSV.

i use mr rebates the most, but i also use ebates, extrabux, and bigcrumbs. i never have a problem getting a rebate on the first shipment of an auto delivery OR any item that is on easy pay. i have been using them since 2006 (via a link from someone on this board) and have gotten a very nice sum of money back over these years. i also get referral rebates from friends and family who i have given the sign up link.

Try checking out ShopAtHome, they offer a 110% rebate rate guarantee. if you find a higher rate elsewhere, you report it to them, and they give you that plus an addl. 10% of it. I always compare rates on Ebates, Fat Wallet, Mr Rebates, Extrabux and Big Crumbs first.

Re: Ebates

Shelbelle — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 20:27:24 GMT

Right now ShopAtHome is offering 6% back from the Q.

I've collected over $4,000. From Mr. Rebates. My favorite thing...Free Money! I get a check almost every month. Got $85., for September and have it applied to eBay where I use it for mad money.
