Make the most of your Cyber Monday with cash back sites!

November 28, 2010 by

Cyber Monday is just around the corner and many stores are jump starting their Cyber Monday sales today. Make the most of your online shopping this holiday season by using a cash back site!  It’s nice to get some cash back on purchases you’d be making anyway!

The two sites that I use most often are Ebates and Shop at Home.  The way that both sites work is very similar:

1. When you are ready to shop online, visit Ebates or Shop at Home and look for the retailer on their site (they have 100s of retailers and pretty much the only one I haven’t found that I use regularly is Amazon). When you click through that store’s link, it will create a “tracking ticket” and then take you to the retailer’s site.

2. Once you get to the retailer’s site, complete your purchase just like you normally would.

3. Within a few days, you should receive an e-mail letting you know that your “cash back” has been credited to your account.  It can take up to 30 days before your cash back credits to your account.  Make sure you keep a copy of the order confirmation that you received through e-mail.  In case you don’t receive credit for your offer, you can contact their customer service and provide them with your order confirmation, and they will credit your cash back to your account.

Which “cash back” site is best?

I like to get the most for my money, so I usually visit both sites and look to see which site is offering more cash back.  From my experience, typically Shop at Home offers higher cash back amounts, but Ebates sometimes has double cash back offers that can’t be beat

Both sites are currently offering a $5 bonus if you sign up:

Ebates ($5 bonus when you make your first purchase or $10 gift card to Home Depot, Beauty.com, Red Envelope, or Magazines.com)

ShopAtHome Banner
Shop at Home

How does payment work?

Ebates sends cash back payments every three months as long as you’ve earned at least $5.01 cash back (excluding any bonus payments).  Payment can be made via a check that they send directly to you or via Paypal.  Here is the payment schedule:

*February 15th (for purchases posted between October 1st and December 31st)
*May 15th (for purchases posted between January 1st and March 31st)
*August 15th (for purchases posted between April 1st and June 30th)
*November 15th (for purchases posted between July 1st and September 30th)

Shop at Home sends cash back payments on a monthly basis when you must have earned at least $20 (this includes your sign on bonus and any referral bonuses).  Right now, they only pay by check, and they send the check to your home address.  Here is the payment schedule:

*January 31st (for cash back earned by November 30th)
*February 28th (for cash back earned by December 31st)
*March 31st (for cash back earned by January 31st)
*April 30th (for cash back earned by February 28th)
*May 31st (for cash back earned by March 31st)
*June 30th (for cash back earned by April 30th)
*July 31st (for cash back earned by May 31st)
*August 31st (for cash back earned by June 30th)
*September 30th (for cash back earned by July 31st)
*October 31st (for cash back earned by August 31st)
*November 30th (for cash back earned by September 30th)
*December 31st (for cash back earned by October 31st)

Will I get a bunch of SPAM/junk e-mails if I sign up for these sites?
I have been with both sites for awhile now and haven’t had any problems with junk e-mails.  I usually get one e-mail from each site weekly highlighting the top deals and any bonus cash back offers.

I have received payment from both sites, so I can assure you that they are “legit” – if you have any questions, let me know!

Save more on back to school shopping with cash back sites!

July 21, 2010 by

If you are doing your back to school shopping online and you haven’t signed up for a cash back site yet, you really need to! You can earn anywhere from 1% to 10% cash back (on average) on purchases that you would be making anyway!

The two sites that I use most often are Ebates and Shop at Home.  The way that both sites work is very similar:

1. When you are ready to shop online, visit Ebates or Shop at Home and look for the retailer on their site (they have 100s of retailers and pretty much the only one I haven’t found that I use regularly is Amazon). When you click through that store’s link, it will create a “tracking ticket” and then take you to the retailer’s site.

2. Once you get to the retailer’s site, complete your purchase just like you normally would.

3. Within a few days, you should receive an e-mail letting you know that your “cash back” has been credit to your account.  It can take up to 30 days before your cash back credits to your account.  Make sure you keep a copy of the order confirmation that you received through e-mail.  In case you don’t receive credit for your offer, you can contact their customer service and provide them with your order confirmation, and they will credit your cash back to your account.

I like to get the most for my money, so I usually visit both sites and look to see which site is offering more cash back.  From my experience, typically Shop at Home offers higher cash back amounts, but Ebates sometimes has double cash back offers that can’t be beat (for example right now, they are offering 10% cash back on Old Navy purchases).


Both sites are currently offering a $5 bonus if you sign up:

Get the Entertainment book for $5.99!

July 7, 2010 by

Right now, when you shop through Ebates or Shop at Home, you can get the 2010 Entertainment Book for just $7.99!  Plus, both Ebates and Shop at Home are offering 25% cash back, which means it is only $5.99 after the cash back and shipping is FREE!  Both Ebates and Shop at Home are also offering a $5 “sign on” bonus for new members, so your total would be $2.99 after cash back and the new customer bonus!

I buy at least one Entertainment Book every year (this year I bought 2!) and it more than pays for itself.

Here are some of our favorite coupons (the listings in your book may vary – please check the site for a preview of what’s available in the book for your area):

*Cici’s Pizza – Buy an adult buffet, get a child’s buffet free (this means that our family of 4 can eat there for $10 since our son is 3 and still eats for free)

*Pump it Up ~ Buy One, Get One Free Pop In Playtime (a great way to beat the summer heat or get your kids out of the house to burn off some energy on those rainy days!)

*Rainforest Cafe ~ Get $5 off a $20 purchase (my kids love this place, but it’s so expensive that we rarely go there…this coupon helps to soften the blow somewhat)

*Red Robin – Get $5 of a $20 purchase (plus, we use gift cards that I earn from My Survey and other sites to save even more!)

*Safeway ~ Get $5 off a $50 purchase at Safeway family grocery stores

*There are also lots of buy one, get one free coupons for local restaurants and attractions!  It definitely comes in handy if you want to have a “date night” without busting your budget.

If you’re not familiar with Shop at Home or Ebates, here’s how it works:

1. When you are ready to make your purchase, visit Ebates or Shop at Home to create your account.

2.  Search for “Entertainment Book” and click through the link that says $7.99 (this deal is valid through 7/14).  Follow the instructions on the retailer’s site and complete your purchase as your normally would (**Make sure you do not check the box that signs you up for automatic renewals – I made that mistake this year!)

3.  Within a few days, you should receive an e-mail letting you know that your “cash back” has been credited to your account (it may take up to 30 days for them to complete this process).
