If you still don’t have an Ebates account, you need to get on it. Anytime you shop online, you can go through Ebates to get Cash Back on your purchases. Then, you get mailed a Big Fat Check with all of your extra savings!
The best part is that you can still use any coupon codes or promotions that the store is offering. Then, Ebates just gives you an extra Cash Back Bonus on top of it all.
Plus, on your very first purchase, you will get a bonus Cash Back of $5 added to your account!! The Cash Back really adds up fast if you use Ebates for all of your online purchases. And with the Holidays coming up, you can get a HUGE Cash Back check at the beginning of the year!!
Right now, Ebates has Doubled Cash Back for a bunch of stores for Fall Fashion:

If you want to know more about how Ebates Works… keep reading… 
I’ve had a lot of people email and request that I tell you all how Ebates works. It is a different idea, so it can make people a little nervous to use it. But I am here to tell you that it is an awesome service that I use all of the time! And, a great way to make a little money back every time you purchase something online!
Stores like JC Penney, Victoria’s Secret, Aeropostale- they all pay Ebates to basically advertise for them. Instead of keeping the money themselves, they are willing to share it with you!
Before you shop anywhere online, I would recommend checking out if Ebates has partnered with them on their website. If they do, then you can make cash back on top of whatever deal you were getting online!
HOW TO GET YOUR CASH BACK
You will want to sign in or create an Ebates account. Then, you can search in their search engine for the store you want to shop at. Let’s say it is JC Penney.
You can then click on the JC Penney Orange “SHOP NOW” link on the Ebates site. Ebates will then forward you to the real JC Penney website. Going through this process ensures that you came from Ebates and that is how they know to give you cash back.
You will place your order just the same as you always would through JC Penney. You can still enter in promotional codes and get the same great deals. But because you started at Ebates, you will get a percentage of cash back (it is different for each store and changes all of the time). PLUS, if you are making your very first order on Ebates, they will give you a $5.00 bonus or a $10 Gift Card to Target!
After you have finished placing your order on JC Penney’s site, you can close the webpage and be done. In about 2-3 days, JC Penney will tell Ebates the amount you spent and Ebates will put the percentage of Cash back into your Ebates account. They will also add the $5.00 bonus to your Ebates account.
Once every quarter, Ebates will mail you a check or use your Paypal account to give you your cash back! It seriously is awesome! You may think that the little cash back amounts aren’t much. But, if you are always using Ebates to get cash back and still using your promo codes at the online stores, you are getting an even better deal! And it’s fun to get a check in the mail that you weren’t really expecting!
I have received a bunch of checks from Ebates over the three years. They always come and it is a great bonus- especially when you were already planning on buying something online.
Ebates also has the Paypal option to get your money back. I like that because it is an instant payment instead of waiting for a check.
I hope that answers some of your questions about Ebates! Everything is completely secure. You are not placing your orders through Ebates, but rather just changing from Ebates to the store you want to shop at. You still place your order through JC Penney, or whatever store it is and they still handle returns and any problems. Ebates just wants to pay you by starting at their website first!

I used Ebates for several years, but my calculations of cash back and theirs was always off. Christmas 2012 I sent in a 3LB envelope full of my Ebates tickets, order confirmations, and shipping invoices. I had over 200.00 in cashback merchandise that I went through Ebates for. Because of the many times that I had NOT gotten the cash back, I felt I needed to send all of this to them. You see, I got my check for the 4th Quarter and it was 4.oo!!! So, I spent 10.00 to send all that in to them.
I got an email from Ebates, informing me that NONE of the stores I had clearly purchased from had let Ebates in on it. I did a bit more digging and found this out:
1. DO NOT go through any other portals . This means: Have all other open pages closed and off your computer, otherwise you will NOT get the cash back as this seems to confuse parties, either the store you are shopping, or Ebates.
2. This is especially true on wonderful sites like freebies2deals. Even though you will be accessing Ebates,Ebates says, if you go through these types of sites that the site offering the link to Ebates gets the money. If you great people that do the freebies2deal blog would like to see the email where Ebates tells me this I will be happy to send it on to you. I really had a hard time believing that one.
I have only dealt with Ebates twice this year as I never have a single problem getting my cash back on a certain ink store that I routinely use. I’m not sure why that is, as I can have a million things up on the computer when I order that..
I was really irritated by them and was pretty sure I was still getting the run around. However, I have decided that for this Christmas season I will use Ebates again, just watching every single step. Hoping this works out.
