Rakuten, etc...

Maybe a silly question but can you use mulitple discount sites at the same time? I currently use Rakuten but notice that RetailMeNot and TopCashback have better deals. Which is your favorite?

Top Cashback

Be Frugal

Rakuten

@bargainsgirl - No, you cannot use multiple sites because you first go to your desired rebate site, then access your vendor from there. The rebate site documents the purchase and once the purchase is verified the rebate is awarded. They also know if an item is returned and will deduct any previous rebate.

I usually use Rakuten, RetailMeNot, and Top Cash Back, checking each one before I proceed. TCB often has a better percentage. It's hit and miss with TCB paying on HSN purchases, though. Mine are often declined and I don't understand why. It's too much work to make a claim and challenge or dispute them so I will often take a lesser percentage and go with a different site because I know they will be awarded. A 4 % sure thing is better than a 12% that doesn't get paid. KWIM?

I use Rakutan and Tada (formerly EBates) ....stupid name. I check both to see who is offering the best deal.

I looked at some of the other sites and 1.) I find them too much to deal with (but that's just me) and 2.) the more sites I use the longer it'll take me to get to any threshhold to received rebates.

I'd rather just deal with a couple of sites and get my rebates sooner rather than be spread out over several sites and have to wait forever to see any rebate. But, as I said, that's just me.

Also, you can only use one rebate site at a time.
