Hold on - before I get dirty looks for giving a bad review for a site that seemingly hands out free money, hear me out!

I've been using ebates for about a year now and thought it was like a gift from heaven. And they have honored the free $10 gift card and all cash back promises.

HOWEVER -- DO NOT USE THIS SITE FOR LESSER KNOWN WEBSITES! My friend alerted me to the fact that there are MANY stores on ebates where, if you click through ebates, you're getting a much higher starting price--hence you actually don't save (sometimes even pay more!).

I looked at sites like dog.com and wag.com just to test this theory out. I went directly to one of the sites, and found a product, saw it marked for $6.99 msrp. I then went through ebates and found the SAME product by SKU and saw it was listed as $8.99. I did this test across MULTIPLE PRODUCTS and MULTIPLE SITES and was shocked to learn what the hell they have been doing!

Sites like macys.com and other bigger, more well-known vendors, do not seem to employ this, so I would make sure you CHECK before using a lesser known site with the promises of xxx% cash back!

So deceiving...

Not sure why there are negative comments for Buy.com. I have been long time customer and have always been very satisfied.

Latest experience - Placed order for Samsung UN60D8000@ $2599 (cheapest price on the day anywhere) on Thursday evening. Immediate email notification on confirming the order. Friday credit card charged and shipment made. Prompt notification. Saturday TV at the local sort facility. Scheduled delivery for TV. Delivery happened on time I requested, in the house, in first floor at the place I wanted by a very courteous delivery man.

Though I paid for normal shipment, overall experience seemed to be expedited.

Just loved the shopping for a high end item at Buy.com

I am yet to open the box and check the product - so far - EXCELLENT

L. O. V. E. this site. Free money that's all I can say. Everytime I'm going to purchase something online... I go to ebates and login and search to see if the vendor I'm about to purchase on is listed on ebates. If they are, you click on the link and that's it. Whatever I purchased I get a percentage into my ebates account. It's great. Go to ebates.com to read more on how it works. But, I've been a member for three years now. In three years I've earned $137.00. And, this is from purchasing from sites I was going to purchase on anyway.

This company suchks... was looking for a new game and found that buy.com had it in stock supposedly when eveyone else had it sold out... ordered it waited a week and no game... sent them an email that said please ship game or take off the fact that its in stock on your website... the return email was "your order has been cancelled". This was a couple of years ago... so far they've missed out on at least 5K in sales since I will never do business with them again and advise others the same...

I have been using eBates.com since 2008 and I received cash back over $1000 so far from just only clicked the link through their website when shopping or using service, booking flight and hotel or car rental, etc.

EBates is not website who gives the highest % cash back compare to other leading sites, always 1% less but I still enjoy using it. I'm a fan of many cashback websites and learned that the highest % cash back doesn't guarantee you get the best deal. It means nothing if it's never been rebate.

EBates customer service will always be there when I needed or requested to investigate my lost cash back. Sometime they took several days to resolve my problem but at last every questions got answers and I've never missed my cash back any cent!

Recently, I shopped at Macy's. I already forgot that I supposed to get some cash back. EBates sent me email to ask if I received cash back yet? Macy's trackable link broken that day then they worked out to get cash back for me. Thank you very much. Appreciated!

As others have said, PriceMinister.com is a con. I ordered a book, they debited my card and then said they couldn't deliver. They then told me they had credited my "e-wallet". My bill was 7.50 but you need to have at minimum of 10.00 in your e-wallet to be able to remove funds, and even then they want your bank details, they cannot credit the card you bought from. I'm not giving my bank details to these dishonest scumbags, so basically it is money lost. Don't waste your money on this site, you might as well flush it down the toilet.

It has been over a year, but I still don't like it. There was a great price on their site for movies. I ordered a couple of them, received a confirmation that the order went through, and waited. And waited. And waited. Upon contacting them, they rudely told me that the price was a mistake, and that they had canceled my order. The price wasn't so far out of whack that they couldn't honor the price quoted and complete the transaction. If not, they should have at least contacted me about it. I consider it somewhat dishonest and their phone staff were rude about it.
