Ebates...

Always gives you at least $5 for an active referral...




Their normal promotional bonus is $5, on a rare occasion they offer more and I will be sure to let you know when that happens so you can invite your friends.

Now I know you're thinking you have to go to their website and purchase their products... not at all. EBates is a program where you will find more than a thousand retailers that you can shop through.

Here are a few examples of the stores you find at Ebates:

• JCPenney
• Hotels.com
• Barnes & Noble
• Alamo car rental
• Target
• Disney
• Restaurant.com
• Starbucks
• Petcare RX
• GiftCertificates.com
• Shutterfly

You will get your rewards bonus ($5 provided you make a purchase within 30 days of signing up) and any money that you earned by signing up your friends that followed is saved. When the money you have earned through shopping totals $5.01 or more, you will get the rewards money and your money for shopping though them. They is no expiration date and no time requirement to meet to get your $ earned by shopping. That money is not put on a time basis... it is yours as soon as your cash back from shopping through them equals $5.01 or more. Also... if you shop enough to have $5.01 in your shopping rewards, you get a check from them every three months, or if you'd rather, they can pay you through Paypal

What is Ebates? What's the catch? Ebates offers rewards when you sign up through them and then go shopping. They have thousands of retailers that not only give percentages back from your purchases, but they often offer coupons/codes that you can use at retailers to save you money on your purchases.

I'll give you all the info up front... in order to cash out on that $5 (or more if you get friends to sign up through your link-more details on that below), you have to make a purchase through them. One within the first 30 days to keep your sign-up bonus.

Ebates is a great program to use if you ever purchase anything online. I don't shop online a lot, but I find that with Christmas time creeping up I usually find a few deals that I can run through Ebates to get my rewards and save money on my purchases too.

I've been a member of Ebates for about a year and found them to be a good company use. Often if they don't offer a percentage back at the retailer I'm wishing to shop at, they have a coupon for them that saves me money.

Their service is absolutely free... it will never cost you a red cent and you get $ back for shopping. What a great time of the year to offer bonuses for shopping online for Christmas! (something I'm gearing up to do right now)

One way to make the best of signing up and getting the bonus assured right away is by making a purchase on Restaurant.com through their site. If you've never heard of them, check them out for some nice dining at discount prices. Check out my info. here about them.

An easy way to meet your requirement to get your $5 sign on bonus is Restaurant.com. Restaurant.com is a discount dining program on it's own so you can save on dining and meet the requirements for the $5 in your account. See the latest Restaurant.com dining discount code to make your first purchase even more beneficial at my post here.

For example .... I was recently looking at a gift certificate through Restaurant.com that is for $25... their price is $10, apply the 70% off code if it's available and you pay $3 for your $25 gift certificate (some of the certificates at restaurant.com have specific requirements to use them so read them carefully before choosing).
