I've been using www.mr-rebate.com since 2009 and got plenty of $ back. Recommending to everyone. Every time i wantto purchase something from ebay, amazon or any other online store i first go to mr-rebate.com and after i get redirected to official site and they track my purchases. Few weeks after i get rebate to my account.

“I believe they missed my big cashback for well-known reason.”

My order from Lenovo at 11/20/2022, which should give me 112.40 dollars cashback, was recorded by this website as 0 dollars after 8 days. It is ridiculous, my correct order number is still tracked by them. The fact is that I did place the similar orders with other competitors, like TopCashBack, Befrugal and Racuten during almost the same time, all of these three posted my CashBack within 48 hours after my Lenovo orders placed. Right now is Oct 29th, 2022. After 24 hours I post this review, my missing cashback of 112.40 was successfully posted to my mr. Rebates account. Anyway, there is nothing lost now. Thanks!

I love this cash-back site because:
Soooo many shopping options
It will pay out as soon as you reach $10, rather than make you wait for a quarterly check
(But you can also let it add up and get bigger checks)
Coupons and specials are advertised regularly
Weekly specials

Never had a single problem with the company, and whenever I need to buy something or get a hotel room or rental car I always start here. Highly recommended.

Tip for consumers:
Make sure you START at Mr. Rebates -- and if you visit another site before it, then CLEAR YOUR CACHE because those sites may have placed cookies on your machine.

The company can't give you a rebate unless it gets one -- that is, unless your purchase comes from Mr. Rebates and not from PreviousSiteVisited.com. Pretty simple, right?

After having experienced several denied claims with other sites in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by MrRebates handling of my claim. It took a little while (though I imagine this fault lies entirely with the retailer), but they ended up approving my claim, with prompt, courteous communication along the way. I used to shop around the cash back sites, but I'm going to stick to MrRebates in the future.

TOTALLY LEGIT. Now you MUST login to Mr. Rebates THEN go shopping, NOT go shopping then login to Mr. Rebates. Make SURE it's valid by loging into Mr. Rebates and connecting to the store through them vs "hoping" Mr. Rebates connects with your shopping cart. IF YOU DO AS INSTRUCTIONS STATE, you have ZERO issues. I have NEVER had a problem and I'm $4300. Richer since 2010. (see details below).

It's an EASY PEASY site to use. I never get spammed, never get emails except to say I have lots of money waiting for me.

This is a site a friend told me about years ago and WOW... I LOVE it. I don't bother with all the other so called "REBATE SITES" why should I when I have Mr. Rebates who are awesome!

Seriously. I log into Mr. Rebates. In search stores I type the store I want... say Marriott and voila... and extra 3% is rebated! That's AWESOME! Gap is at 6% right now! Some are 10% and 15%. COSTS YOU NOTHING TO JOIN and adds maybe what 20 extra keystrokes to login to Mr. Rebates each time to EARN $$$.
$4300. For doing NOTHING that I wasn't doing before! I have done NOTHING different EXCEPT log into Mr. Rebates first and I've forgotten for hotels dozens and dozens of times... so I could have earned even MORE!

Once my rebates total over $100-$200 I ask for a check to be mailed. It arrives within the week after the end of the month I request it. I just asked for my December check $143.00 and it will be sent the first week following the end of this month... so first week of JANUARY. SIMPLE. You can get paid by check (I like to actually see touch feel), paypal or other ways. I love to see that Mr. Rebates logo on the envelope after a long day at work!

IF SOMEONE SAYS THEY ARE MISSING A REBATE and not to use the app, it's because they didn't follow directions. You have to log into Mr. Rebates and go to the shopping website through Mr. Rebates... otherwise YOU risk it not picking it up and being recorded... and when you open 2-3-4 windows of the same store... make sure you are on the MR REBATES window it opened when you check out... or it may not pick up. It's simple, and you can't blame Mr Rebates for your errors.

This should say it all:
Lifetime Balance
Mr. Rebates' Member Since 3/15/2010
Cash Back Earned:$4,328.38Cash Back Rebates: 870
Referral Cash Back:$73.40# of Referral Rebates: 127

GOOD REBATES TO YOU!

I have been using Mr. Rebates for a good ten years. Oh, I've tried the other companies. When I shop, I open all my rebate accounts to choose the highest percent back. Over all this time, Mr. Rebates offers the highest percentages back.

Don't listen to the commercials. One does not "get paid to shop." One does not "make money" on these sites. However, one can EARN a bonus, like sending in the rebate slip at the supermarket with your store receipt.

To properly write this review, I went back as far as I can. So far, I have earned back over $555. (My ebates.com "big fat check" total for the same time period is about $73 BECAUSE I chose Mr. Rebates, whose percentages are consistently higher.)

For someone whose sporadic purchases are often under $50, I think that's pretty good!

Tip for consumers:
It only takes a moment to compare percentages. Register for more than one cashback site. It doesn't cost you but it will let you go to whoever rebates the most for individual sales. There's no rule that you HAVE to be loyal to a single site.

Meegan helped me with my claim since I was missing cashback from Groupon. She was very understanding and so helpful! It was a very large rebate since my purchase was 2K. Groupon could not find the order # and it was rejected by Groupon so Mr. Rebates could not pay out. She tried her best, I did my best to give all the order numbers from Groupon's customer service (I believe it is Groupon that dropped the ball since remeber- they rejected my purchase, so be careful when purchasing through Groupon) and she went to her manager to appeal it for me. After proving my purchase, it went through and I am so relieved it did. I did have to wait over 6 weeks and had to reach out for a followup, but after I reached out, Mr. Rebates were responsive. I have been a member since 2005 and received over 2K in lifetime cashback so I would say they are excellent and their customer service as well - and they usually have higher rebates versus the others. Just make sure to follow instructions and click through them first, you will see the pennies add up! I would definitely recommend!

It's a great way to earn some extra cash simply by starting at the MrRebates site, and then doing the same kind of online shopping I would do anyway. It seems to do a good job crediting all my purchases, but when I did have a minor problem, the customer service was top notch. I really like it.

Wow, after trying many rebates sites, (many that advertised more CB money), that would almost never pay out, I found Mr. Rebates... I have only had a couple (out of many) purchases not show up, and they have always taken care of it promptly, great customer service.

Highly recommended!

I have been using Mr. Rebates since 2009. Although I usually make my decision among cash back websites and airline shopping portal based on the return, I found Mr. Rebate usually has nearly up-to-date coupons that I can apply (which banks and airlines shopping portal may not have), on top of the rebates. So far they have never missed my purchases (or, when I use them correctly), but another popular website messed up with me for a big one (so now I don't always feel confident when using that website). In general I feel very comfortable with Mr. Rebates and have referred my close friends to use it.

I only sent my inquiry to the customer service once, on a Friday. While the website says they will reply within 1 business day (in my opinion Mon-Fri), the staff replied my on the next day (Saturday) with detailed info.

Mr. Rebates is one of my most important go-to rebate websites. Highly recommend!

I've been using this site for years. Getting paid is always a breeze. They even contact you to remind you that you have money available and offer to send a check.

I will have been using Mrrebates for over 2 years now, and have received over $1000 back so far. It really does add up. The difficulties that most people experience with this site is that they can not have another browser open when using Mrrebates. Only use the Mrrebates site when shopping. I never have a problem when I do this. And yes, it does take three months at first to receive your $, but if you shop online as much as I do, you will be getting $ every month if you shop every month. Mrrebates also pays out a higher percentage than ebates, except maybe for Ebay store. They also tell you which stores have specials going on which will save you even more $! I love Mr Rebates!

Love Mr. Rebates... only have a problem occasionally with HSN but I notify Mr. Rebates and they solve the problem. Just won an Ipad mini from HSN a few weeks ago and I never win anything. Needless to say, I'm thrilled. Rebates and an Ipad mini. Thanks!

I love getting cash back for shopping. There are so many stores to choose from. I order from petco all the time so I always log into MrRebates first so I can click on petco from their site so it registers my rewards. I also order my contacts at visionworks which Mr Rebates offers. And I always get money deposited into my account for shopping at these stores from MrRebates site.

I purchased a vacation package from Hotwire by clicking through Mr. Rebates. Got the confirmation email from Hotwire in less than 30 minutes. I thought all was done and just sat and waited for my rebate to come through. After reasonable amount of time and still didn't see the rebate, I contacted Mr. Rebates. They did respond right away and filed a claim with Hotwire. A few days later, MR sent me an email saying the claim was denied because Hotwire needed an order ID (which I never received) to process the claim, and that MR told me to contact Hotwire. Dealing with Hotwire was frustrating. All CSR claimed they don't know anything about MR. While I was going back and forth with them, Abigail from MR sent me a follow-up email providing more information about order ID etc. I was pleasantly surprised because she could have just left me in the cold with Hotwire but she didn't. I cc MR all emails with Hotwire. Abigail went out of her way to talk to the supervisor and they decided to offer me a courtesy credit because of all the trouble I was going through. Genuine customer service it is! I know some customers complained about not getting rebates from MR. This experience told me sometimes it can be the merchants' fault, who intentionally dock MR's commission, at the same time taking away our rebates.

I started with Ebates.com and then found mrrebates.com. Very similar, but I've found myself using mrrebates about 4 to 1 lately. Its % off is always either equal to or higher than ebates, com. Also, there is a "referral bonus" of $7.50 PLUS (and I just found this out myself)... when a referral of yours makes a purchase... you get 20% (!) of their rebate. Mrrebates.com holds your $ for up to 90 days (returned merch, etc), but "your account" page gives complete, data about all your funds and activity. And, the site sends periodic reminders about what money IS available, encouraging you to have it sent. Whatever $ is due you is just a click away.
If you are a rebate shopper, you will love this site.
