Trouble logging in with PayPal was my problem. I turned it over to Ebates Customer Service and couldn't be more pleased with their immediate response and their success in solving my problem. What a pleasure to do business with Ebates!
Nicole from Ebates helped me receive credit after I forgot to hit link through Ebates. She was awesome to deal with. Thanks for the help! I love Ebates!
App still needs some tweaks but customer service is fantastic and was very helpful!
Love Ebates! I get paid to shop on my favorites sites. But more than that is the customer service. I recently had a question regarding the Big Fat Checks. I had a response within 30 minutes. And, it was a response that was very clear and easy to understand.
Thank you Ebates.
I have been a member 10 years and it has only gotten better.
Ebates wrote me back right away, found the answer to my question VERY quickly... exactly the information I needed! Terrific customer service! Thanks :)
Absolutely incredible staff! They helped combine my accounts after I accidently got cash back under my Facebook account. Thank you again!
After referring others and having them make qualifying purchases I still have not received any of the promised credit. I am told by customer service that my referrals have not made any qualifying purchases when I know that they did! I helped my own mother make two purchases after I referred her and because of their "privacy policy" I can't speak of other accounts. I'm definitely feeling irritated and starting to feel like this site is a scam. It seems they like to make you feel incompetent and not give you what was promised.
Alexis, My customer care representative was very helpful and even offered to send me more info on using ebates in the future. She was a very polite and personable representative who made my experience very pleasant. I would highly recommend Alexis!
I have accumulated quite a bit ($900+) from the last 4+ years online shopping through Ebates. They're quick and accurate with posting cashback for my purchases. Highly recommend.
Always, and continuous prompt responses and excellent issues resolutions!
I had a problem and contacted Ebates and they fixed the problem with the first reply back! Thanks Michelle!
When I discovered one of my recent purchases wasn't being reflected in my eBates account, I contacted customer service. Perhaps I have just grown accustomed to slow responses and having to follow up severbal times, but I was pleasantly surprised to receive a confirmation of receipt email almost immediately. And not an automated confirmation of receipt email, but an actual person responding to my inquiry. Long story made less long, although they are currently still looking into my inquiry, regardless of the outcome I will continue to be a loyal ebates customer and fan.
Love Ebates! If you're going to shop, why not get paid for it! I love ebates!
I began my interaction annoyed, having tried—in vain—to unsubscribe from the deluge of emails I had been receiving recently from Ebates. I sent a disgruntled email to Customer Service.
The representative who interacted with me, Chelsea, was so professional, tactful, and direct with her responses, that it left me with a very favorable reaction. In fact, Chelsea responded so promptly and politely to my series of emails, that I am now actually considering re-subscribing to Ebates. Service like that reflects very well on business.
Thank you
I had a wonderful experience with Ebates. Alexis dealt and resolved my queries very promptly and efficiently.
Thank you again
As a brand new Ebates customer, I had questions about the percentages for each retailer and the breakouts by category per retailer (specifically Target). Hannah was incredibly helpful and speedy with her replies. I got all my questions answered in under 24 hours and am very grateful and happy with the excellent service! Thank you to Hannah and Ebates!
I've always had a great experience dealing with ebates. It's a great way to earn money back just by purchasing the things you need.
I had a problem with multiple logins which was causing an issue. It was resolved very quickly with just one phone call! Great experience!
Very good company period. Excellent website very colorful and vivid Web pages, good quality products and millions to choose from. Products arrives on time and in excellent condition. Customer service was just as good, understanding and extremely helpful. Rokuten is by far one of the best websites to order from. Rokuten is like Japan's version of amazon or so they say. Thank you Rokuten for your services.

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.
