Why are they removing percentages and going with coupons only or just no discount at all?  Is it because no one is buying from their brick n mortar store?
you would think they would welcome any business their way, especially if the said purchase is not a sale item but full priced merchandise.

I've noticed this too. Macy's, which used to offer generous rebates, has cut them out completely, as of a couple of weeks ago. They used to really add up!

I got Macy's rebates at Mrrebates last week.  There was a sign about amazon at mrrebates, that amazon is choosing not to participate at this time.  Amazon only had sporadic rebates on certain items, or certain depts.  my guess also is they are dealing with a cut in personal

I rarely use Rakuten anymore since their rebates are a lot less than Topcashback. Mr. Rebates isn't offering rebates for Macy's anymore either (just checked)

Topcashback has 10% rebate for QVC at the moment.

Because the stores are really struggling to survive without customers shopping and therefore can't afford to pay the rebate places a percentage of what little they are making now.

@Pearlee -ding ding ding.  We have a winner!!!

Retail, and the economy in general, is not in such great shape right now.  I'm surprised ANY retailer is still offering cash back.

Buy and use American companies. Rakuten is owned by Japan

A larger rebate might entice customers. I know it makes a difference to me.  Fortunately, there are quite a few places still offering it. Topcashback has 20% rebate on select stores today.
