eBateseBates is an online rebate portal. You get cash back on your online purchases by going to eBates site first and then clicking through their links to reach the sites you’re planning to do your online shopping on.

Payments for the previous quarter are sent on or before the 15th of the month in February, May, August, and November via Paypal or paper check and they’re set up so that no Paypal fees get taken out which is nice.

This past quarter I shopped at drugstore.com, eBay, iTunes, Sephora, and Vista Print and got $48.18 back.

I’ve been a member of eBates since 2004 and have now received a total of $509.66 in cash back just for clicking through their site before placing orders I’d be making anyway.

If you’re not already a member it’s definitely worth signing up. If you’re planning to sign up I suggest you use one of my eBates links so that we both get $5 when you make your first purchase.

Disclosure: Some links in this post are affiliate links and I will receive a small compensation if you make a purchase after clicking through them. Affiliate links are an easy way to support Carrie Actually at no additional cost to you.
