Ebates.com- Why not save on something you're buying anyway?

Before I buy something from a mainstream website (and not a boutique), I log into Ebates.comto see if they are part of their participating vendors.  If they are, Iclick through their link, make my purchase, and a few weeks later, apercentage of my purchase ends up in my Ebates account as a cashrebate. Every three months that I have a balance over $5.01, Ebatessends me the money via "Big Fat Check."  It’s that easy.

You can get an average of 5% cash back from their partner stores(over 25%) and their stores include places you probably already shop atlike Target, Robeez.com, WalMart.com, Buy.com, Babies R Us, A Pea inthe Pod, The Children’s Place, Mimi Maternity, Smart Bargains,RedEnvelope, Oriental Trading, you get the point.  They also includecoupons but you are also allowed to use your own coupons.

Over the past year, I’ve received $228.35 back in rebates fromEbates.  I’ve shopped at Boden, Hallmark Flowers (my favorite place tosend flowers from), Lillian Vernon, One Step Ahead, Apple,  A La Zing,Old Navy, Uncommon Goods, Circuit City,  FTD, Teleflora, ValueMags, andEquifax.

Since we’re all starting to shop for the holidays, I thought I wouldshare this great service with you guys. Plus, they deposit $5 in bothmy account and yours when you make your first purchase through them.And it works that way when you refer a friend who makes a purchase.And through November 15, if you sign up and make a purchase, the bonusis $10, instead of $5.

So sign up today and start shopping!
