Ebates.com is the shopping website I visit most frequently.  Ebates has over 800 merchant partners that pay them for their business.  Ebates in turn passes savings onto us in the form of a "Big Fat Check."  My first payment totaled $45.61 which I earned mostly from purchasing Christmas gifts online.  I also had 2 Tell-A-Friend bonuses totaling $10.00 in that payment.

It is very easy to set up a free account and you can begin earning cash back the very same day you register.  The site has a feature that allows you to save your favorite stores and coupons.
