Cash Back Website Spotlight: Ebates

Ebates Chrome extension notifies you when cash back is available

Ebates is a cash back website that allows you to earn a percent of your purchases back. The exact percent back varies - they often do sales where you might get as much as 12%-20% cash back. You can either navigate to Ebates first, then search for the store you want to shop at to be redirected there, or you can install their Google Chrome extension and it will automatically notify you if there is a cash back offer on a site you are browsing. If you create an Ebates account using my referral, you will earn $10 back after your first qualifying purchase. Ebates pays either via PayPal or a check. Just by activating the Ebates extension, I've earned $230 back over the past two years. When I need to make a purchase online, I always compare cash back offers between Ebates, Swagbucks and Ibotta to see which has the highest percent. This is another really easy way to earn money back for purchases you need to make.
