And now it is time for the second of three giveaways this week courtesy of Ebates! You have a shot at winning $100 in cash to celebrate their 12th birthday this week.
So just a recap for those that are not familiar with Ebates.
You register for an account and when you decide to do any online shopping, you start by going to Ebates.com. Then you type in the name of the store- like Old Navy for example. You will then see the amount of cash back they offer for that store- as of posting the cash back on Old Navy is 12%. So that means you get 12% back on any purchase that you make! (And by back I mean a check that you can take to the bank and cash.)
Now the only catch is that you must start your shopping by going to Ebates.com or they will not have any means of tracking what you purchase.
The cash back varies day by day and can range from 1%-30% and they have thousands of stores in the program- even Ebay is included!
In honor of their birthday celebration this week, they have increased the cash back for several stores to 12% including Old Navy, Sephora, Gap, Body Shop and lots more…
You will receive a rebate check quarterly from Ebates that has your cash back amount. So in the example above, if I spent $100 at Old Navy and they have 12% cash back, I would get a rebate check for $12 back from Ebates. Simple!
If you are new to Ebates they also offer a $5 bonus just for signing up. Once you make your first purchase, you should get an email confirmation of your cash back within 48 hours.
