It’s time to prepare for the holiday season. I already started my online shopping for holiday gifts. Before you shop, you should get your online cash back plan in order.
I’ll highlight a few of my favorite cash back programs over the next few weeks… because we all love Free Money [1].
Ebates
The first is Ebates [2]. It offers cash back for over 900 stores. We’ve used it in the past for purchases from Target, Buy.com, and Zappos. The cash back rewards range from 1% to 25%.
How it Works
$5 sign up bonus. You get a $5 bonus when you sign up and make your first purchase.
Payments. Ebates [2] sends rewards via check or Paypal on August 14th, November 15th, February 15th, and May 15th. You’ll get a payment every time you earn over $5 in rewards (excluding sign up and referral bonuses.)
Referrals. Make even more money by referring a friend. You’ll each get an extra $5 after their first purchase.
Tips and Tricks
Daily double. Check out the Daily Double each day. Ebates [2] selects one store each day and gives double cash back for purchases between 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM PST that day.
Compare rewards. Don’t forget to check ev’reward [3] whenever you buy online to figure out which program has the highest cash back!
