Do you use Ebates?

If you are planning to shop online this Christmas, have you been using Ebates?  I found out about this program last year through Money Saving Mom and have found it to be a good way to get back a little of what I spend.

You get a cash back rebate for the things you purchase online.  One of my favorite stores - Macy's is now getting an 8% rebate!  The amount varies from store to store and is easily found on the website.

You can sign up for an Ebates account here  and you will get $5 credited to your account.  You only need to enter an email address and set a password to join - there is no credit card needed. 

Here is an excerpt from the website to tell you how you get your "Big Fat Check" 

"Every three months Ebates sends to its members the Cash Back that they have earned, provided that the member has earned at least $5.01 in Cash Back Rewards.  If the member has earned less than $5.01 Cash Back, Ebates will carry the member’s money over to the next check. Bonus Rewards do not count toward the $5.01 minimum."

Ebates is also a great place to find free shipping deals and % off deals.  You simply go through the website and it redirects you to your favorite online store.  It attaches a "tracking #" to your shopping and you will see the rebate in your account in a few days.  

I am expecting my "Big Fat Check" for over $30 this month for shopping I was doing anyway!

Also, they have a few great promotions going on now!  They have a big list of stores that are giving double rebates! And I was able to get an extra $10 rebate just for making an online purchase.
