I’ve been using Ebates since 2011, I got hundreds of cash back so far.
Especially Ebates is very useful when I shop for sale items during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Ebates often increasae the percentage, often double or triple Cash Back during these times.
For example, my favorite 6 piece towel set at JC Penny normally $84 was on sale $30 during Cyber Monday. I used 35% off coupon, plus Ebates 18% cash back, ended up paying only $16.
Ebates is not limited to goods. You can use it for hotels, Airlines, Car rentals and more.
For example I’ve used Ebates for below in the past:
- Hotels.com
- Expedia
- Amazon
- JC Penny
- Office Depot
- Bed Bath & Beyond
- Macys
- Kohl’s
- Best Buy
- Walmart
- Target

When you purchase anything online (goods, service, hotel, air, or anything), right before you checkout, go to Ebates !
When you go to Ebates, you see the list of Cash Back,
the list of sales and deals,
but in behind, there are hundreds of stores registered in Ebates.
To find the store you are using,

Click “All Stores” and
Select the alphabet of your store. For example, if you are going to buy good at “Walmart”, click “W”.
