Gap is having a huge summer sale right now where you can save up to 40% off online and in stores.  Ebates is also offering 20% cash back for all of the Gap stores (GapKids, babyGap, and regular Gap).  This is the highest cash back amount I have ever seen for the Gap!  There is a $7 flat rate shipping fee.

If you haven’t signed up for Ebates before, you will also get a $5 bonus for signing up!  If you’re not familiar with Ebates, it is a site where you can earn cash back when you shop through the retailer links on their sites. I joined about two years ago and I was so excited when I got my first “big fat check” with the “rebates” I had earned from online shopping during the Christmas season that first year. 

Here’s how it works:

1. When you are ready to shop online, visit Ebates 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.

4. Your “big fat check” payment is issued every three months.

For purchases made between 1/1 and 3/31, you will receive your “big fat check” on 5/15.
For purchases made between 4/1 and 6/30, you will receive your “big fat check” on 8/15.
For purchases made between 7/1 and 9/30, you will receive your “big fat check” on 11/15.
For purchases made between 10/1 and 12/31, you will receive your “big fat check” on 2/15

5. You can choose to be paid via the following methods:

*Big Fat Check: Have a check sent directly to you, free of charge.

*PayPal: Your payment is deposited directly into your Paypal account (you do not have to pay any fees). This is a quick option!

Let me know what you get if you take advantage of this deal!

I went into my Paypal account to check on I had made earlier in the day and I was pleasantly surprised to see that my “Big Fat Check” payment from Ebates had gone through! Based on the payment dates on their site, I wasn’t expecting my payment until the 15th. So, if you made qualifying purchases through December 31st and opted to be paid by Paypal, make sure you check your account!

**If for someone reason you don’t get your Big Fat Check (either through Paypal or the mail depending on what you have selected), you can contact them to request the status here.
