DO YOU USE EBATES?

Tinkrbl44 — Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:49:48 GMT

I have been signed up for almost a year and really like it.

However, I was trying to buy a couple gift cards online for an Ebates store and the "active" sign always goes away ..... does Ebates refund for gift cards?

I did, but found Mr Rebates covered more stores that I used. Get about $100.00 or so back several times a year!

Yes. I used it about 5 minutes ago on an Ulta order and will use it later for Talbots.

I use both Ebates and Mr.Rebates. I always look to see which one offers a higher percentage of the site I want to purchase from. Ebates sends you a check quarterly, Mr. Rebates you have to request your check. I like having to request the check because I like it to accumulate my refund.

Can you use both on a purchase .... or is it either / or?

I use either Discover Deals or Mr. Rebates. I take my checks once a year which means they are always substantial. I love free money.

I use shopathome.com because they offer a 110% guarantee; if you find a better cashback deal, they'll honor it and add 10%. It does mean I have to look at a few other sites to compare but I would do that anyway. Many sites have exclusive coupon codes (such as ebates and coupon cabin) so it pays to look around and then double back to shopathome!

No you can only use one. That's why you should always check out both to get the best deal.

I use ShopAtHome alot, they offer a 110% rate guarantee, which means if you find a better rate on a competitive site they honor it and add 10% more of it into it too.

Ebates does have very good CS.

...And speaking of Ebates. QVC sure cheaped out on them for CyberMonday.

QVC for years gave 2.5% thru Ebates. Not a lot. Then it went down to 2%. Today - for CYBER MONDAY where many places have doubled their rebates back through Ebates -- QVC is giving a "whopping" 3% back. How very generous (she writes sarcastically).

I use ebates and like that they have the little button that I added to my browser that flashes. I don't have to remember to go through them to get the rebate.
