This site is not to be missed! 

With whatever shopping you may be doing, I've just got to tell you my story about eBates.com.

It's a nifty FREE rebate site.  No credit cards to register.  When you join, you get $5 for as a a new account bonus (when you make your first purchase).  You can also earn bonuses for referring friends.    

What's it all about?  Is there a catch?  Here is my eBates.com story:

This site pays you Cash Back whenever you shop online (up to 25%!). It's called Ebates.com, and it has LOTS of name brand stores you'd want to shop at, including Barnes & Noble, the Gap, Target, Dell, QVC, HSN, ShopNBC, JCPenney, Sears, WalMart, Entertainment Books and iTunes or coupons and cash back for places like Overstock.com and so many others! 

Also rebates and coupons for  TRAVEL sites like Priceline.com, Cheaptickets, United.com (Air), Expedia, Travelocity, Hotwire, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Budget, Thrifty, and more! 

They actually have over 800 stores, so if you do any online shopping I bet some or many of your favorites are there too!  You can do better by shopping online through Ebates.com than calling directly or through catalogues or brick and mortar and still deal with the same merchants you already use!

They also list tons of great INSTANT coupons, free shipping deals, and sales from these stores so you can stay on top of ways to save even more. You can check them out on www.eBates.com or sign up for their weekly newsletter to have them alert you to any new deals.

Now, before I shared this, I tried it for a couple months, had money deposited to my account, got immediate coupons that saved even more on the spot with online merchants and so forth. 

But the question remained:  Would I get that big fat check?  Well, they announced by email it was due to come, they announced when it was cut, it was cut on the published schedule, it arrived, it was a check from a real bank, and I was able to deposit it without incident.  Only then did I feel safe sharing this with my friends and family now that I know it's "legit."  So, there you have my "ebates.com" tale.  A nearly $35 rebate check from in about 3 months, not including the instant online rebates that in one case, on one purchase, saved me over $87 on the spot between the free shipping and the discount coupon they had -- that was off a purchase of $349 if you're wondering -- not bad eh? 

Subsequent quarterly checks were for $33, $19, $60, $143, and $423 -- and don't forget the instant savings each time, which literally adds up to hundreds more!  For my forthcoming check, I am already over $51 in rebates. and have had significantly more savings in 15% and 20% instant coupons and free shipping deals.

Just start your shopping on eBates.com, link to the merchant through there, and voila!   

It PAYS to shop at Ebates!

All you have to remember is to just start your shopping at www.ebates.com and let the savings add up
