Shopping Cyber Monday? Get CASH Back!

Are you planning to shop online today for Cyber Monday? If so, make sure to sign up first for Ebates.  With Ebates, you earn a percentage of what you spend online back as a check or via paypal.  So for example, when you want to make a purchase at say a store like Loft, you log on to Ebates first, and then select your store – so in this case, you’d click on Loft.  Stores vary in how much of a percentage you get back.

Today, I’ve already spent $43.75 at the Loft. But before I made my purchase, I logged on to Ebates. Loft is currently offering 3% cashback. So I’ll earn $1.31 back on my purchase. Not really big, but every little bit helps.  Even some travel sites are associated with Ebates – when my boyfriend and I booked a vacation on Orbitz, we ended up getting $20 back!

In addition to getting cash back, Ebates also has a list of promotions and coupon codes on their Web site, and when you sign up, you get a free $10 gift card to select retailers (my pick would be $10 to Target).  If your online shopping, Ebates is always my first-stop shop and since joining in 2010, I’ve gotten $147.75 back.
