How does Ebates and other cashback sites work?

If you want to buy something online, rather than go direct click to the company via a cashback site and you get paid.
The site will require you to be a member, which should be free (if not avoid it). Once you are, simply log-in and check if the company you want to buy from is listed, eg, Wal Mart or Apple Store and if it is, click the link on the cashback site to go to that online retailer.

Your visit is then tracked and if you transact, once it's processed, an amount is put into your cashback site account.

Ebates was founded in 1998 and is a very reputable sites. I have been a member since 2006 and the site was recommended by my credit union. Customer service is excellent and most cash back rewards are credited within 48 hours. Some stores, however, cannot confirm your purchase until the return period has elapsed and may take up to thirty days to confirm your cash back.
Ebates offers several ways to receive payment:
Big Fat Check, PayPal, or if you don't need the money you can forward your rebates to charity, organization or a family member.
Its free, Ebates will even pa for the mailing fees.

Stores pay Ebates a sales commission for sending shoppers their way, and Ebates uses the commission to pay you cash back.
They will give you $5 just just for signing up.

After you sign up for an account, make sure you check out daily doubles - meaning double cash back.

    It sounds like a great plan, to get cash back, provided the prices aren't inflated to help pay for the cash back.

    Not on Ebates Julie. I've seen that happen on other cash back sites but Ebates never disappoints. I research the prices first and then log into Ebates for cash back. Never a problem and never inflated prices.
