Great way to save $
July 31, 2019

I have had Ebates, now Rakuten, on my computer for several years. It notifies me if I am eligible for a rebate when making online purchases. It also notifies me if I could get a better deal at another site. I have received over $200 in rebate checks to date and continue to recommend this service.

EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE!
June 7, 2015

Heide in customer service is so wonderful. I did not receive my Big Fat Check in the mail. Not because it wasn't sent out but perhaps it just got lost int he mail. She got back with me within minutes to let me know another check would be sent out in a few weeks. That is exceptional service in my mind! Ebates is such a wonderful program. I love that you actually get money back just for shopping at your favorite stores! How can you not sign up? Thanks Ebates for doing a wonderful job!

I was so scared to use this company from reading reviews but I was looking for a particular modem and they had it so cheap that I was willing to risk losing the money. The retail for this modem was around $80 and I got it for $25. I waited 6 months to write review because I was certain it would fall apart and I'd have to complain. But. It still works great and is saving me money on my internet provider bill! No problems here.

Great!
April 2, 2015

I love eBates! I've been using and recommending them for several months now and a few weeks ago, my cash back after purchasing from Dell. I contacted eBates and within the same day, they looked into it and my cash back was visible in my account. This is a great service with great customer service too!

Love the site, love the customer service!
March 6, 2015

I am a loyal Ebates customer and recently had my first experiences working with their customer service department. I was so impressed by the speed, efficacy, and warmth of the customer service reps I corresponded with, Stephanie and Anthony. I really appreciated how thoroughly they handled my requests and was just amazed by how quickly they responded. Just another reason to love Ebates! It is a great service with wonderful staff. Thanks guys!

I ordered a computer from the bestbuy.com site that was fulfilled by buy.com/Rakuten. The product was shipped quickly, but when it arrived it had specs significantly inferior to what I ordered. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with customer service who ultimately concluded that the specifications listed online were a "mistake". Given that a less knowledgable customer would not likely have realized they didn't receive what they paid for my conclusion is that this was a scam.

I have been having a difficult time with my Ebates registering. I keep filing claims because they aren't being picked up by my iPad. I have been through the ringer lately but feel like there was a lot of help in getting this resolved. I appreciate all the kind & helpful people!

Stephanie in customer care was a pleasure to work with. She was very prompt, nice and offered excellent advice on how to use Ebates when buying from Amazon. She was able to solve my problem and explain how to avoid the same issue on my next purchase. I am very satisfied with Ebates. Thank you Stephanie for being a great help! I wish more customer care reps were as helpful and kind as you

I started using Ebates last November in 2012. I switch from Big Crumbs. Every seemed great and the "Big Fat Check" was being issue with no problems. Now I have being waiting for the check since November. Several email to the customer service and getting nothing from them. They are only dragging their feet and asking me to wait 30 days after the check was issue. It has pass the 30 days I emailed them and still not even getting any response. It may be time to return to BigCrums

I had a "big fat check" that we had tried to cash using our bank's "mobile" checking. The app with our bank said that this check did not go through, so we intended to cash it in person, but my husband forgot to follow up. We found it today and it was expired, so we emailed asking if the check could be re-issued.
Ebates's (Seth) response was extremely quick and they stated that the check had actually been cashed and had the date it went through. With this info, I was able to check our account and see that the check DID, in fact, go through. I am so appreciative of the time that Seth took in responding and with how extremely prompt and thorough he was! Thank you so much!

Eleven Stars!
September 12, 2016

Ebates always responds quickly to your inquiries, whether they be about "Where's My Cash Back?" (which I recently had a question about) or any other issue you may have about Ebates. The Ebates people are always courteous and take the time to completely explain their response to you. Couldn't ask for a better bunch of customer service representatives.

Easy to use!
April 28, 2019

I really like Rakuten. It's simple to use, lots of stores, and of course making money while shopping is awesome! The only con I would have is sometimes, after spending what I think is a lot, the money I get back isn't much. All in all, I am happy with it!

Excellent and Quick Customer Service
March 25, 2016

Any time I appear to be missing cash back on an order, Customer Service responds very quickly and takes care of my question. I appreciate the courtesy cash back they give when I made an order in good faith, but wasn't eligible. Thank you, Ebates!

I love getting cash back for purchases I would make anyway. Its like getting an extra discount! And their customer service is amazing. I placed a rather large order in the wrong browser not linked in Ebates. I contacted customer service and they credited it to me anyway- rather quickly too!

Shopping with Rakuten is the best
August 3, 2019

I always go to Rakuten when online shopping. I had an issue with some missing rebate money and it was handled swiftly and 100% satisfied. I will never shop online without checking Rakuten first.

Thank you

Ebates Cashback
August 5, 2015

I'm new to Ebates and had to contact customer service regarding a purchase that didn't show up towards my Ebates Cashback. The response time was very fast, professional and resolved quickly. Thanks Kathleen you were great! I'm glad I joined Ebates.

Every time I click on a shopping link, it's recorded. That's ok but when I know I didn't purchase on that particular trip, I wish I could delete it from my history, or at the very least mark the visits I know I shopped.
And the pending travel credit(s)... no way to delete those that I ultimately canceled or make a note as to what/where (car, hotel, etc). They stay on my pending cash back, mixed with stays that I AM expecting credit for. Very confusing!

Alexis in customer care is amazing
January 2, 2015

Alexis in customer care is amazing. I emailed regarding some friends I gave the Ebates info to and I got an immediate reply that she connected them to me for the referral credit. I absolutely love their customer care and all the discounts they post. Plus you get paid for buying things you would buy anyway. Love Ebates!

Customer service contact
October 27, 2015

I had not received the money in my account from a purchase I made. I contacted customer service and after communicating with them they did resolve this matter for me to my satisfaction. They were very eager to help and kept me informed on the progress. They replied very quickly to my emails. Ebates customer service employees should be acknowledged for what a good job they do to keep the customer happy.
