WHAT'S YOU FAVORITE REBATE SITE?

 

When they first came out, I tried several. 

 

Various pros and cons.

 

Rather than have my purchases scattered around, I have been using TopCashBack exclusively, but I'm changing.

 

So ... currently .... what's your favorite rebate site ... and why?

 

TIA

Topcashback and Retailmenot--they both tend to pay the highest percentage.

I used to use several, then decided I want to keep 'all my eggs in one basket". I narrowed it down to Mr Rebates. They've never messed up by not granting the rebate. Payment is by PayPal, Amazon coupon code, or paper check in the mail. I like getting the check in the mail the old fashioned way.

I used to use Mr Rebates but at some point, had too many problems getting HSN rebates, so I switched to Top Cash Back.  They generally offer higher rebates and periodically offer an extra $2.50 with a $15 purchase.

I use Rakuten almost exclusively.  I have used Mr Rebates and have money in the account, but can't figure out how to get it....?

 

Rakuten sends me a check quarterly.  Lots of times they offer a gift card in the exact amount of my refund.  Doesn't have to be in increments of $25 or $50, can be an 'off' amount like $157.33 as an example.

I’ve used Mr. Rebates for probably about ten years now and I have been happy with the service they provide.

@Tinkrbl44   I like MrRebates best. It was my first and it is easy and reliable. And I can get Amazon gift cards. If Amazon gift cards are not a payment option, I lose interest. 

I don't know how much money I've gotten back from MrR but I've gotten quite a bit back from Ibotta, my second favorite.

 

I use these two because I don't have problems getting paid. There are a few sites that offer bigger rebates but, if they don't work, they aren't worth anything to me. After a few tried but no rebate events and never once getting a rebate to go through, I stopped trying. It's a rebate; not something I want to get upset and stressed about.

Occasionally I use RetailMeNot when I purchase Yankee Candles for a discount or free shipping. Sometime it works, sometimes not @Tinkrbl44

@Tinkrbl44,

I've used mrrebates for several years and like that they are consistent and send an email usually in less than a day  regarding the cash back you get from using a site. I like being sent a paper check too. It does have to be $10 or more.

 

I used rakutan when it was ebates but I always had a problem having them give credit when a site was used. When I showed them order nos and everything they asked to prove a purchase over and over I thought it's not at all worth it.

 

I looked at topcash back, befrugal  and others and just decided to stick with mrebates, even though they don't have the highest cash back. 

 

Why are you changing from topcashback?
