What more can I say. Simple way to save your hard earned money! Lots of options too. You get a check after you have the minimum.
I get a percentage of all my purchases back and I add to it with my credit card from Rakuten. It adds up to spending money every month.
I've been an Ebates member since 2010 and back then I was getting a fair amount of cash back or gift cards for my purchases. Recently, however, after the change to Rakuten I lost all of my money. So, after 10 years of being with this company I have no balance, and no history. I had a bunch of money saved, to the point where I could go on ebates, and get a gift card to go birthday present or even Christmas shopping. Now, it's all gone. Not cool.

Easy links to websites and customer service contacts you within minutes from my experience. I also received the twenty five dollar bonus for recommending a friend
Schönen Kleidung und gute Materiale. Sehr günstiger Preis.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden und sehr glücklich über alles
They make money by scamming people, and keeping their cash back! Pay close attention, they will NOT give you cash back on every purchase, more people sign up for their services, the more cash back EBATES makes you may make cash back for short period but it goes down hill pretty quickly, EBATES need to be sued for the scam they are running. And so many FAKE positive reviews, get rid of EBATES, they are just using you to make them millions...
I've been an Ebates customer for years. They have been nothing but fantastic during the years I'be used them. No hassles, no problems at all. Just make money doing shopping you were already going to do! I've recommended Ebates to all my friends and family. Several of them now also use them.
I signed up for Ebates few months ago, like other reviewers said, this is "fraudulent" company, they will not add cash back on all of the orders!
This rep: * specifically told me how they "will NOT able to add" cash back to my account unless, I provide a complete proof of order confirmation!
EXCUSE ME< I clearly use your link and in the end EBATES confirms when the cash back will be added to your account! So if the cash back isn't being reported by all the merchants then don't you think, it's your system glitch, or clearly EBATES is just STEALING CASH BACK!
AND< if the merchants aren't reporting cash back, then clearly they are breaking terms and agreements and now wait a second, how come, all the merchants are doing that then? Or maybe, EBATES is running a FRAUD! This rep had the nerve to tell me how "they have no records of my purchases" but clearly EBATES was still able to catch the "shopping trips" JUST NOT THE CASH BACK!
STAY AWAY, this is complete fraudulent company, try Etrabux, and read reviews before hand, beforehand though!

BE VERY CAREFUL, make sure, you are getting cash back on all the orders/ because Ebates will literally scammed you out of cash back and then if you bring it up to them, they just blame it on the merchan, how "it wasn't reported by the merchant."
And, then if you keep brining it up, they will refer you to merchant's terms and conditions but this isn't one merchant specific, and ask you send your order confirmation, more way to steal your info! It happens to with all the merchants you shop on a regular basis and Ebates is just hoping, you won't catch them stealing your cash back because they will only add cash back on some of the orders and NOT ALL!
Look for another cash back service or at least make sure, Ebates is giving you cash back on each and every order and they will screw you!
I spent the $25+ after downloading this app. I received an email saying that my $10 sign up bonus was offered however it's not showing on the app. I emailed customer service and they said send a copy of receipt. They don't care about my issue. They already know how much I spent at which store because it was in my email. If they already have my info and it says my bonus is offered why do they need a receipt. They should want that early on not when I dispute something. I'm uninstalling. Not worth the hassle.
Absolutely amazing customer service from Harley W. From Ebates Member Services! She was sweet, answered me back quickly every time I had a question, and 100% resolved my problem with no issues! I will definitely be recommending Ebates to everyone because of her! (Not to mention Harley was almost my daughters name, I've always loved it lol) Thanks again Harley!
Great customer service. I ordered a laptop from Lenovo's website, but I must have visited groupon recently enough that my order was flagged as originating from it. I was initially irritated because I thought I missed out on the sweet 10% rebate from ebates. I messaged them a couple times to try to resolve it and when they couldn't fix it with Lenovo, they offered me a $100 bonus offer, which they really didn't have to do.
I appreciate the service and rebates, but I've had to request the credit manually for several orders. It's a hassle to have to monitor and reconcile.
I really enjoy the deals and cash back from this site. Whenever I'm waiting for something to go on sale it's usually Rakuten that ends up discounting the item first so I give them my business. The cash back is just icing on the cake.
Tractor Supply always has my merchandise ready for pickup, are very pleasant to work with and have never made an error in my orders.
Cash back for purchases, what could be better! Coupons and other offers for your choice if merchants! I highly recommend this site!
Client Services took care of my issue quick and professionally, from the initial call to the end result- Thank you!
Have used ebates and now Rakuten for years and usually have no issues when it comes to rebates owed or asking why i haven't been credited yet.
I've logged into a site, clicked the rebate banner then ordered and paid for a few items. However, the rebate was not added to my account. Not sure what went wrong.

Answer: Hi Mike, This is a great idea. I'll make sure that our leadership team is aware of this suggestion and I'll see what we can do to make it happen in the future. We know that Ebates is the best Cash Back shopping service, but we appreciate your confirmation of this fact.
Answer: I can't answer about the owner ripping people off. All I know is I have ordered from Rakuten numerous times and have nothing but praise for them. I haven't read the bad reviews but I've gotten nothing but good products.
Answer: I can't tell you I would buy again. I had no help from rakuten when needed. They said they are not responsible for the sellers since they work as an online shopping center. I would suggest you buying at Amazon. I never had problems with them. Regards
Answer: I dont know there some wierred how come I just order some jewelry.com and I order two earring only and its just 30.00 dollars. But when I use debates the price went up to high.
Answer: If it for some reason doesn't show like it should, I contact ebates. I include a copy of the email with the information from the order placed. Normally I wait until the purchase has arrived. This gives ebates and the store to put the transaction in your account.
