Rebate Sites Increase Cash Back Percentage

October 5, 2009

In this economy as stores try harder and harder to get you to spend your hard earned dollars with them, they have slowly started to incease the cash back percentage they are willing to pay through rebates sites, if you shop with them.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with how rebate sites work, check out this post

For an example, Ebates.com has increased the rebate from 3% for HP.com to 6%. So say you are planning to buy a $1000 computer from HP.com, if you started your purchase process at Ebates you would have recevied $60 cash back from HP.com into your Ebates account. Going through the Ebates site first doesn’t have any effect on the product, price, service, return or warranty that you get from HP.

Most people don’t see the value in rebate sites. But if you do a lot of online shopping, it is a must since it adds up. If you spend on average $2000 a year online and you had an average 4% rebate that could mean $80 cash back to you that you wouldn’t have gotten had you not used a rebate site first.

The two rebates sites I use are Ebates and Mr Rebates. Both offer rebates and coupons for virtually any store that you can buy online from. I just usually go through the rebate site that has a higher percentage for the store that I am wanting to buy from. I reccomend Ebates.com and Mr Rebates.com as they are entirely free. There are no monthly fees or minimum purchase requrements when using a rebate site, you just use them just before you make your purchase. Both rebate sites pay you either by check or paypal, so getting your money is easy once you request a payment be sent to you.

Here is a quick screenshot flow of the process…

Go to your rebate site (In this case, I am using ebates.com) and select the store you want to purchase from:

Once you click on the store, you will see a spash srcreen while you are being redirected to the retail site:

You then are directed to the store website where you shop like normal.

So as you can see the only thing you need to do before shopping is to just start through the Ebates or Mr Rebates first. That is it. It takes 2 extra minutes, but guarantees you cash back from your purchase. Why would anyone not do this?

I have made of $200 just by using these sites for my normal online shopping, and as long as they keep paying me, I am not going to stop.
