I have a fun giveaway for today courtesy of Ebates. They are offering one lucky My Frugal Adventures reader an 8GB iPod Nano (retail value $149.99).
Ebates is a cash back company many of us know and love. They offer cash back rebates for your online purchases. So for example, if you decided to buy an item from the Disney Store today, you would get 7% cash back on your purchase.
So if you spend $100 on an item- that would be $7.00 in the form of a rebate back. Easy! Now the cash back amount will vary according to the store- as of posting the cash back amount on Target.com purchases is 3%. So if you spent $100 at Target.com you would get a rebate back for $3. Sometimes the cash back amount can be as high as 50% or more for certain retailers- so it can really start to add up.
- To get started with Ebates you first need to register for an account.
- Then you will want to go to Ebates.com before you shop online. Type in the name of the site you want to shop at- like Sephora.com, Oldnavy.com,Target.com, etc..
- If they offer cash back to that site you will immediately see a percentage- for example 2% from Old Navy today or 4% from Sephora today.
- Then just click through the shop now button and shop as usual.
- Your rebate amount will show up in your account within a few days and they will actually mail you a check quarterly!
- If you are new to Ebates you can register and they will also give you a $5 bonus for signing up.
If you would like to win theiPod Nano provided by Ebates just register for a new account (if you are already registered you don’t need to do a thing.)
Then just leave a comment below letting me know what you would use your Nano for! Is it for yourself, for a gift? I would probably use the Nano myself for a few mental health breaks during the day (two kids under 3 can be a tiny bit noisy at times.)
And finally a bonus entry if you subscribe to MFA via email, follow on Twitteror like me on Facebook . Be sure to leave a second comment letting me know!
*Please be sure to actually leave a comment below. Any emails, Facebook messages or tweets will not be counted. If you are viewing this in a reader just click through to the blog to leave your comment.
This contest will run through Sunday at 4pm PST.
GOOD LUCK!
I would use it as a birthday present for my son.
I follow MFA on email and FB.
I’m already signed up with Ebates 🙂 I’d use the Nano for my plane trip with my 2 little ones (4 yrs and 2 yrs)!!

I would gift the Nano to my husband so he can stop stealing mine when we go workout!
I’m already registered with Ebates and love it! Thanks for the giveaway – if I win it’ll be a gift for hubby – he got me one for my birthday, and now he’s jealous! 🙂 It would be a wonderful surpirse for him!
I would use it to help keep my sanity… when I’m up in the middle of the night with my two-week old. 🙂

Got Ebates 🙂 I would use the 8G Nano during walks as a way to help motivate myself to get out of my post maternity clothes.

I would use the Nano for my runs when I need to get away from reality! its nice to have something to listen to while running and not have to live in the reality world for the 45 minutes of peace!
I would use the Nano for my workouts!
I should probably use it as a birthday gift for someone but would definitely be tempted to keep it for myself…
My kids already have nanos – so I would keep it for myself.
This would be great for jogging!
I’m a FB fan and I follow you on Twitter.
I would give it to my husband to use while he is working.

Thanks, Charlene. Love the blog and am a big fan of Ebates!
Oh this would be fantastic. My daughter has been begging for one of these for her bday!! You would make a little girl’s day!!
Oh also, I subscribe to MFA on email!
I have ebates, love it. I would give the nano to my sister for her birthday, who loves working out but has a very old ipod : (
i’d use it for myself 🙂
I’d probably gift myself since I never buy myself anything. =p This would be great for when I go running (okay, maybe fast walking), which I am starting to do…after my birthday on Saturday. hehe
I am an ebates member and I would use the ipod for myself. I am a music teacher and I would use it in my classroom.
I would use the nano for running
