I only use ebates.

I like it because you can download a little button to your browser that will flash if you are at a participating store, just click it to activate the rebate and I like that they automatically send a check quarterly.

Yes, I love ebates. I added an extenstion to my page and it pops up every time I am on a site that honors e-bates. It then pops up and tells you what deals each site are offering...you click on that and automatically applies the cash rebate.

I joined EBates first and then moved on to Mr Rebates.  I did not like the fact that EBates sent the check (no matter how small) automatically - Mr Rebates you request the check.  I find Mr Rebates website more user friendly.  Unfortunately last I checked Nordstrom was no longer on either one - that makes a significant impact on me.

It is so funny you bring this up.

I would be very, very careful about E-bates.

After reading the other computer virus thread, I decided to run a scan on my computer.  It didn't take long and 16 "infected files" were detected.  3 of the infected files said it was malware from E-bates.

A few years ago, someone on this board had posted about e-bates leaving malware on your computer and to be careful but a very large rebate from them for Coach got me.

Ebates is ok- Mrrebates has better rebates generally  though. Although sometimes ebates has on line stores that mrrebates doesn't! I always check the two before making purchases.

I agree with this. It pays to check both because while one is generally higher than another, sometimes they flip or one adds something new. And things change, so one day something may be worth 3% and then it might be 5% for a few days or a week.

You bet twopeas...posters here are always willing to help. That is why I like to ask questions here.

I signed up for Ebates but I sometimes forget to use it. Last night I ordered a dress and forgot again. Two years ago I had to make all kinds of online orders and I completely forgot about Ebates. I do all my ordering on my tablet, I guess they do have an app that can give you some sort of reminder but I haven't downloaded that.

I really wasn't having any issue per se, just decided to run a scan and that's when I saw this.  Otherwise I never would have known about it.
