Ebates.ca is a total rip-off. I wrote in to them and complained about missing cash-backs on purchases (and I did not use abusive or bad language) and they just closed my account and I lost all the cash-backs that Id been saving. Ive since switched to Great Canadian Rebates which has a slightly higher cash back value and so far, Ive found them to be more reliable and honest about giving cash-backs.

Someone used my resume to set up a fake VK profile with all my personal information posted on the internet. I asked them numerous times to take it down, explaining that it was an unauthorized, fake account. They asked me to prove my identity which I did by sending them identifying documents, and they still refuse to take down the profile. Another reviewer says it's because VK and some of the people that use VK steal identities and set up fake profiles to scam people.

Tip for consumers:
Just wanted to write an update. VK finally took down the fake profile after a month of constantly writing and begging. Just keep writing customer support until they take down the fake profile, if someone has set up a profile for you without your permission.

I like that you can get unlimited entertainment in terms of books, movies, audiobooks, music, and games. I really don't play the games so can't comment on that, but their selection of books, music, and especially audiobooks is pretty good. Their movie selection is just okay, but if you're into horror and documentaries, especially music docs, you'll enjoy this part of the service. I signed up for the 12-month membership and received a free 8" tablet and headphones and they're pretty decent quality. My only complaint is that I wish their search box was better. For instance, when I search for Coldplay in their music section, it says they don't have that, but actually they do. I stumbled across a few Coldplay songs in their curated lists, and when you look up a particular author, the search engine doesn't always list all of their books, but I accidentally stumbled upon "extra" books by that author (Lauren Oliver, author of the Delirium Trilogy). The search box listed the first two books in the series but not the last and I was really disappointed until I "accidentally" found the third book by browsing their entire collection! All in all, though, I'm pretty satisfied with the service.
