I guess if you like shoes and purses it works for you, but those of us who shop in stores and places such as Walmart, Amazon, Lowes and such, find out real quick that many items don't qualify for the ebates money back.
After spending close to a thousand dollars in the very places I mentioned, I had a grand total of 40 cents to my name in Ebates. Frankly not worth my time to log into Ebates.
I've had to contact them on 2 separate occasions and they have responded the same day. They are great at solving issues and would recommend the service to anyone that is looking for a good rewards program with no hassle.
A very professional company with a staff that will help you save money. I use the website site and also the app. I've used it for years and really like it.
I started Ebates during online Christmas shopping and could not believe how easy it was to earn money. I then noticed last week that it could be used on Amazon. I am an Amazon Prime member so this was thrilling to me.
I am not the most internet savvy person and had some user error issues while using Ebates with my Amazon Prime account. Ebates customer service helped me resolve these issues immediately. I could not believe how fast they responded and helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. On one of my Amazon orders, it did not qualify but they gave me credit as a courtesy which was super nice. I love Ebates! I highly recommend them if you love saving money!
I had a balance cash back $44. After a few days it just disappeared and it shows me my balance $0. I Send them email with all informations and got an answer to send it again and again. It is just another internet garbage. Avoid it.
Don't use their site. When you use its things freeze and crash. Also they don't always give you your money when you shop through them. Then I will send in a request because they didn't credit me and then they will send me a 3 parargraph long email saying how they can't credit me because my order number is real (even though I take it directly from my confirmation page) and how I don't know how to use the site. Blah blah blah crap. Basically they don't want to credit you. Not sure the point of their site. And the customer service representatives are VERY rude.
I have been using Ebates for a few years now. It is so easy to receive cash back for shopping. They have an excellent customer service department that usually responds immediately or within a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend this to anyone who not only shops on line, but also in stores!
Anytime that I have had an issue, it has been a great experience and quickly resolved. Thank you for always making it a great experience!
I always shop on Ebates, mostly during the holiday season. This year I made several purchases including buying a washer and dryer around the black Friday sales. So when it came time to get my check I was really excited because I had referred friends and shopped so I was going to get my biggest check so far. When I received the check it was for $11. I was disappointed and angry.
I quickly sent an email to Ebates customer care team. They began responding immediately, even so far as to copy my work email which I view more frequently than my gmail account. They found that I inadvertently had two Ebates accounts, two separate email addresses and that was the reason I did not get my full check.
Ebates worked with me to consolidate my accounts and even though the Feb 15 checks had already been issued, they did not make me wait until the next payment cycle of May 15 but issued my corrected check right away.
I truly appreciate the quick responses and the positive resolution of my issue. I will continue to refer people to Ebates. Ebates is an effortless way to get cash back while shopping online and now in some stores. I will always check Ebates before I shop.
I've tried using their app and it causes my iPad to freeze. Therefore, I would submit my receipt by "Where's my cash back?" to redeem my rebate. I had been doing this for months with no issues, then suddenly I was flagged as a "risk" for this reason (and no prior notice that this wasn't allowed, I didn't realize that this wasn't allowed) and my account deleted without receiving my cash back! What a scam! Obviously this company is out to screw you. False advertising!
I decided to review after a being scammed exactly as many of these reviews stated. The $10 for purchasing $50 I now know-no matter what they say is a totsl marketing scam! I'M WALKING AWAY FROM BOTH! Suggestion go to the BBB and get a couponsites' rating bedore using!. Won't get scammed again. Caveat emptor
I've had an Ebates account for quite sometime and have always activated the cash back button and confirmed that the Shopping Trip was "Active" before I made my purchases. I finally go into the account to see what's going on and initially it gives me a balance of $30 dollars or so. Then within a few minutes, that amount disappears and it tells me my account only consists of $7.38. When I go into my shopping history, it shows nothing! That is totally impossible! This doesn't sit well with me at all and I don't have a good feeling about this site. I think the stores listed on their "Double Cash Back" list need to be made aware of the issue.
Ebates offers "free money" for simply ordering items online. I had a problem where 3 transactions were not recorded and I didn't get the ebates credit. I emailed them with the problems and they answered my email within minutes. They credited my account within half an hour. Great customer service!
This is a SPAM! THEY'RE getting paid from your purchases from and you're not getting paid and when they or if they do send your check out it's a FAKE! Check beware
Since 02/13/2017 I can't log in my account on Ebates and I didn't receive my big fat check yet. I sent an email to Ebates but they don't answer me yet.
Yesterday was big fat payment. I was so excited to get my cask back $19.39
I kept checking at my PayPal account to see my money. But i did not receive any money from Ebates yesterday. That too bad
Ebates Scam :(
Ebates closed my account for no apparent reason and did not send me a check of almost 5 thousand dollars. I buy a lot and I earned a lot. I tried to contact them but nobody can answer where is my money. It fells very unfair. They already received cash back from all stores I shopped and they have to send me a check. It looks like Ebates wants to steal my money. Don't trust them.
This process could not be any easier! You go to ebates site and it brings you directly to your favorite sites that you normally deall with, easy peasy!
I have to say, Ebates is a great site to order through and Tricia M with customer service was absolutely amazing at helping me with a question about a purchase.
Ebates provides excellent customer service and fulfill their promise of cash back on a ton of online stores. Also, their double cash back deals are great and you will be able to know very quickly the amount of cash back on your account. I definitely recommend Ebates after more than one year using the service.
Answer: I believe all the bad reviews answers your question.

Answer: Hi Mike, This is a great idea. I'll make sure that our leadership team is aware of this suggestion and I'll see what we can do to make it happen in the future. We know that Ebates is the best Cash Back shopping service, but we appreciate your confirmation of this fact.
Answer: I can't answer about the owner ripping people off. All I know is I have ordered from Rakuten numerous times and have nothing but praise for them. I haven't read the bad reviews but I've gotten nothing but good products.
Answer: I can't tell you I would buy again. I had no help from rakuten when needed. They said they are not responsible for the sellers since they work as an online shopping center. I would suggest you buying at Amazon. I never had problems with them. Regards
Answer: I dont know there some wierred how come I just order some jewelry.com and I order two earring only and its just 30.00 dollars. But when I use debates the price went up to high.
Answer: If it for some reason doesn't show like it should, I contact ebates. I include a copy of the email with the information from the order placed. Normally I wait until the purchase has arrived. This gives ebates and the store to put the transaction in your account.
