Shameless solicitation

marriedfilingjointly

You have probably heard of the website, Ebates.  If you're already a member, you probably know how awesome it is.

You join the website.  Any online shopping you do, you do it from the website.  For example, if you want to buy something from Sephora, you log onto Ebates, search Sephora, and click the link.  It takes you to Sephora's website and automatically applies any coupon codes they have on file.  In addition, you get a percentage of cash back put into your Ebates account.  Most are around 6%, but some are as high as 30%. You get the cash in your account in a few days, and they send you a check in the mail 4 times a year.

It's legit.  I've been a member for a year and I've got $80 in cash back so far. 

Anyway, in addition to cash back for buying stuff, you also get cash back for referring new members. So if you haven't joined yet, you can join at this link:

And I get referral points. 

Pretty much every online retailer you can think of is on there (except Amazon because they are whores). 

Happy Christmas shopping.

I ebates. I shop online all the time, so I accumulate quite a bit of cash back. I actually put my referral link in my bio, and have had some people sign up under me. Its nice.

ETA- I get my payments through paypal- its faster. I think.

I do this through my bank, but they don't have all the retailers. I'll probably sign up because lord knows I love to shop online.

How about that.  Thanks for the tip; I'll look into the paypal thing!

I read an article about Ebates in the paper, and it said they wrote one guy a check for $14,000.  WTF did he buy?!  I'm not sure how they stay in business but I'm going to milk it while it lasts.

I've "tricked" it into giving me both Ebates and credit card cash back a couple of times.

Thats insane. $14,000? Maybe he got a crapload of referrals. haha

I'm in - my daughter asked me for something from Sephora last night.  I was going to purchase it anyway, and now I can get a rebate.  

Anna - I've purchased from Ideeli, Gilt Groupe, and Haute Look via your invitations.  Several of my Christmas presents have been purchased online this month - woohoo.

Rue La La has Vera Bradley today.  I hope they have something good.

I signed up. Let's see what kind of Christmas presents I can find...(I haven't bought the first present yet.)

I've already signed up, or I would!  Most of these awesome shopping places don't ship to Canada anyways.  Stupid.

anna.oskar

Sweet!  i just scored a shirt on ideeli that will look awesome with the tie I got off Gilt the other day!

You guys really rock.  You're making Christmas just a tiny bit happier for me

So you mean to tell me that all of that wedding stuff that I bought online, I could have been getting money back?!?

I wanna cry now. *(

Have you guys had any problems with Ideeli? I signed up, but then I read horrible reviews about them.

Never had a real problem with any of the sites I listed. Ruelala once sent me the wrong item altogether but they credited my money back, apologized and let me keep the french press they sent.

Nope. I have purchased two coats from them, and they came fairly quickly- no issues whatsoever.

dandan83

Ok. I might have to do some shopping then. Thanks!

Nope.  Shipping was a tiny bit slow, but fine overall.  I'm happy with the merchandise.

Sounds good then! Now I'm slightly upset I didn't grab that wedding dress I really liked.
