Good
A great site to start before your purchase & make money when buying items from a variety of sites. Need a 5 dollar balance before you get your money & only a few times a year you can get money.
Online Cashback, Yes Please
I'm a later comer to using Ebates & I joined late Autumn 2018. My brother and sister-in-law, and my cousin have been using ebates for many, many years. I finally joined with much skepticism. BUT now I have earned to-date $65.12. I have received a cheque in early January for $25. I have referred many friends. So, I would log in with ebates and then go to Amazon.ca for example and then I would receive a cashback for my Amazon.ca purchase. I love ebates. I highly recommend it. In my opinion, it does take awhile for the purchases to add up to something significant cash but it is well worth it than just leaving money on the table.
Makes you money but not alot
Although I have recieved cash back, I find they don't have all the stores I need. They seem to have many obscure and custom American shops. I wish they had walmart and more canadian local shops. I also have had problems with them in getting cash back after shopping with Amazon.
Pretty Cool
This website gives you cash back for shopping online. I know it's a small percentage every time, but it adds up and costs you nothing. I mean if you are shopping online anyways something is better than nothing right? I like it because it gives me ideas on where to shop with it's lists of stores and categories. Also, it gives you a heads up on deals at different stores which is cool.
When my friend first referred this site to me I was interested in the idea of getting cash back for things I already buy (and I do buy a lot online). My first cheque ended up being almost $20 in a month, though that was also because I referred my sister and since then I haven't really been too pleased with how much I've been getting back. I still do use it every time, and I do appreciate having some cashback rather than none, but I definitely think that the cashback amounts could be higher since using coupons nets me more back in the end. Why bother with online shopping for pennies when I can save dollars by shopping in store? I'm glad that I can now redeem in Amazon gift cards, but the cash back amount I get still makes it a bit of a pointless venture. I hope things will get better in the future otherwise I'll be using other methods of getting cashback.
