CASHBACK EXPERIENCE - EBATES

Recently a few cashback sites have popped up and everyone is looking for a few extra bucks. Well there’s no harm if anyone is expecting to get a few extra bucks ….

Even i was looking for a few extra bucks.A friend of mine just vaguely mentioned about few cash back sites to me,the concept initially sounded bizarre and i dint buy the idea and totally threw those sites in the Scam list even before trying it out.

One day while searching for a product online i just stumbled on Ebates advertisement. I thought of giving it a try. Since then I’ve been an regular Ebates user for close to two years and done well with it. To be honest, I didn’t buy into the idea at first as already mentioned. I’m sure you’re a little hesitant too. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be on my blog right now looking for an Ebates review.

EarlierI was an ignorant about saving money, I had no idea what affiliate marketing was, but now it makes perfect sense. Let’s clear the air. There is no “Ebates Scam.”

WHAT IS EBATES?

Ebates is a company that gives cash back if you click through the links of stores listed. The company is an affiliate to many online stores.

What’s an affiliate? An affiliate is a person (or company, in this case) that makes a small commission for referring people.

Simply stated Ebates is an affiliate to over 1700 stores, like Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Kohl’s, and Etc. By clicking through Ebates links to the store you so wish to shop at, Ebates offers you a percentage of the revenue they earn from by being an affiliate.

WHYS DOES EBATES PAYS YOU ?

I will try to explain the concept using an example. Hope i would be able to do it…

Example: Wal-Mart gives Ebates 2% of every referred sale. If Ebates sends a customer to Wal-Mart, and the customer buys a $500 computer, Ebates makes $10 on the sale.

Wal-Mart is paying Ebates to advertise. Ebates takes that $10 (the money Wal-Mart paid them) and gives you half ($5). This results in a 1% cash back rate.

It’s a sweet deal! Online stores (e.g. Wal-Mart, Target, BestBuy, etc.) win because they get the sale. Ebates wins because they get a commission. You win (as an Ebates user) because you get extra cash for doing next to nothing.

WHAT EBATES OFFERS??

Apart from the shopping commission, Ebates also offers Joining Bonus. Yes you read it right. this site offers you Joining Bonus.Currently they are offering $10 joining bonus. Sweet isn’t it …

HOW TO START EARNING ?

When you’re ready, search for a store and click on the store link. This establishes a ‘tracking code’. Once you visit the online store from Ebates, you have 30 days to purchase what you want.

HOW DO I USE EBATES?

I’ve done reasonably well in the last two years. Most of my accrued cash back came from buying general shopping like buying stuff on Amazon, Walmart, Ebay, Best Buy and So..on.

My Earnings:

MY TAKE

It doesn’t cost a dime to sign up, and all you need to do is go to Ebates.com before each purchase, search for the store you want, make the purchase, and you’re done! Why not take the free cash?!

If you sign up through my link below and make purchases through Ebates, I will earn $5. This in no way affects you, but I want to be transparent.
