Receive Cash Back from EBATES Just in Time for the Holidays

We are a nation of consumers, but that doesn't mean we want to throw our hard earned money away. If you have to make a purchase why not be rewarded with cash back in the form of a "Big Fat Check?" With the Holidays right around the corner, getting money back makes giving that much easier. Instead of heading to the mall or local shopping center, buy your items online through EBATES.com and save money. The following steps will show you how.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet Access
  • Acceptable Payment
  • Mailing Address
  1. Step 1

    Head over to ebates.com and register. Joining is free, and the website offers incentives for joining now. You'll enter your email and the email address of the person who referred you if any. Tell your friends and you'll both benefit from the EBATES referral program.

  2. Step 2

    Select your bonus incentive. (Right now, it's up to a $10 gift card.) After navigating to the next page, you will enter your full name, mailing information, and gender. Hit select and start shopping. ----It'll take you longer to read this article than it will to register.

  3. Step 3

    Search the special offers from stores where you normally shop. Some are offering double discounts just in time for the holidays! There are offers from SEARS, Borders, Lands End and over one thousand other retailers. You may find retailers you can not readily reach in your area.

  4. Step 4

    Stick to your spending limit when you shop. By spending within your regular budget and taking advantage of the discounts in the form of percentages off, fixed dollar amounts off and rebates (ebates), you can save on your purchases.

  5. Step 5

    Check your mail for your "Big Fat Check". It takes up to 12 weeks to receive your EBATES check in the mail, but it's your money to do with as you please. Perhaps you'll spend it on another purchase through EBATES.com. Happy Holiday Shopping!

Tips & Warnings
  • For noticeable savings, stick to your normal budget.
  • Don't buy more because of the discounts.
  • When you receive your check you will have saved more than traveling to the mall.
