i love ebates.
it is brilliant. and it is simple: you get money back from every online purchase you make. (well, just about every, i have to caveat that. some ecommerce sites don't have a relationship with ebates) you get a check in the mail every few months for a % of the purchases you made through ebates. while most sites offer less than 10%, it really ads up. a couple months ago, I got a check in the mail for $50. granted, i shop online a lot, but still.
how it works: ebates is what you call an "affiliate." they work through an affiliate marketing program, meaning every sale they send to an ecommerce site they have a relationship with, they get paid a certain % of that transaction, a commission. they then pass on part of that commission on to you, the shopper. ebates posts links to all your favorite sites. all you do is click on the link to activate tracking. ebates does the rest to follow your purchase and calculate your cash back.
So, go sign up right now!
tip of the post: always check ebates before you confirm your purchase.
1. shop around, find something you want to purchase
2. go to ebates and see if the website where you are about to buy from is on ebates. they may have additional coupons and shopping tips too!
3. click on the link to go back to the site you were shopping on (make sure this the last thing you do before making your purchase to ensure the tracking works)
4. make your purchase
5. wait for your check in the mail
