Today is the “Big Fat Check” day at Ebates. If you’re not familiar with Ebates, it is a site that allows you to earn cash back for your online purchases. When you are going to shop online, you just log-in to their site, look for the retailer, and click on the link. A “tracking ticket” will be created to track your purchase. The cash back is usually posted to your account within 2-3 days of your purchase. Then, every three months, if you have accumulated $5.01 or more in cash back, you will receive a payment (you can choose to receive it via a check or Paypal). Here is the payment schedule:
Purchase Dates
1/1-3/31
4/1-6/30
7/1-9/30
10/1-12/31
Big Fat Check Dates
5/15
8/15
11/15
2/15
You also get a $5 bonus after your first purchase if you sign up using a referral link. (You can access my link through any of the Ebates links on this post).
It is a quick and easy way to earn a little bit of extra cash for items you would be purchasing anyway. The list of retailers they have is HUGE! Here are a few of them:
*American Eagle – 3% cash back

*Bath & Body Works – 3% cash back
