Let's make it short, I was placing a order with Macy's for a very expensive item, because the store was out of it, it was very early in the morning, their customer service lady was from the Phillpinies nothing wrong with that but please try to talk in my language and understand our language, she could not get the promotion and my credit card to work all with Ebates I kept teller her I would loose a lot of Ebate dollars if it's not places through them on the web sight that I need to be sighed on and then through Macy's she said that she had to place it she did know how to make their promtion code and my credit card all work together, she was not friendly, my advise, do not call Macy's early in the morning, and please I'm sorry I do not mean anything about customer service from another country but please be nice and please know your job all I can say is that Ebates customer service can teach some customer service skills to some of these other companies, from the time I notified them to my last email I had nothing but positive emails ensuring me they got my emails letting me know things were being worked out, follow up emails letting me know every step, I just want to say thank you for a great customer support team you guys are truly a great team, thank you for fixing a problem that resulted more Ebates money in my account, take care and may God Bless you all
Sent in a question to a problem getting a website to respond. Immediate response back with instructions. Asked a second question. Immediate response again! Didn't make me feel inadequate in asking a question that I should have been able to figure out. Very personal connection with a large website.
I had a problem getting cash back, but they got back to me quickly after I sent in a ticket. They were specific in what they needed from me and I was happy to comply. Once that was settled, they fixed the issue for me.
All in all, they were really professional and kind as they helped me solve this problem.
I don't remember getting my $10 gift card, so I contacted Ebates if they could tell if it had been used? They couldn't, but credited my account $10 to make things right! I couldn't believe it... so nice... and fast... great experience!
Barney's New York cancelled my order during Ebate's 15% off promo. They cancelled it for no reason and this caused my Ebate to cancel as well... and I lost out on a sizable chunk for my rebate. I contacted Ebates regarding this matter and gave them all of the supporting documentation that they asked. They were able to verify my purchase and funded the money back on my account fast. They were so nice and understanding. World Class service I tell ya!
I've contacted the customer service a few times and they've always been very helpful and fast!
Wish they had higher percentages for people who are not buying high-end items.
Regarding my special case of not able to book on-line with Travelocity.com through Ebates cause Travelocity website was down, every Ebates customer service agent did not take further step to resolve this issue but kept on repeating the company policy that I have heard more than 5 times. Although they were being patient and nice, but lack of enthusiasm and consideration. When hope was nearly gone, I found a review site of Ebates on SiteJabber.com. Few hours after I posted my question and concern, Max C. And Dylan Campopiano efficiently resolved it by taking further action and actually put themselves in my shoes. Greatly appreciated! I have to say: my concern probably is still not be able to solved today if I did not find them through SiteJabber. Thanks, Max C. And Dylan!
Placed 4 items totally.
1. they cancelled one of the item without any reason ( found out they raised $10 for the price on that item later). The worst thing is they still charged on my credit card.
2. One of the items, Raukten and seller both charged me for the same shipment. Try to contact Raukten by email, but they only kept saying they had to charge me once the item was shipped? Tried to explain the seller charged me already, but no one listen and no one care either.
3. one of the items-Fingertip Moistener 3/8 oz, the seller put ( set of 4) on the item. But only receive 1 per set. ( I ordered 2 sets for $10.06) Turned out I had to spent $4.50 to return it because I really don't want them to get the business from the deceiving advertisement on their item. I emailed Raukten to request the seller take the wording ( set of 4) from their item page, but never heard from them since either.
Conclusion:
1. Raukten has no control of their seller at all. Not safe to shop from them. You won't have any protection like Amazon.
2. Raukten did not offer customer support and service.
I spent lot of works on disputing the payment with my credit card company. NO MORE - RAUKTEN.
Excellent customer service. Very polite, responsive, and solved my problem very quickly!
Love Ebates, they have really stepped up their game after merging w/ Fat Wallet. I didnt get cash back from Ebay so filed a complaint and they instantly verified my info and gave me cash back! So amazing, no hassell or wait. Cashback literally appear less than 5 mins after order has been placed. No delays like Fatwalllet used to have. Very helpful and easy to manure website. Thank you Ebates, you are awesome for offering cash backs for Ebay and other websites that dont usually do cash back!
Cant understand why I haven't received my 1st rebate check yet? Iwas emailed Tuesday stating it would be mailed out Friday 13th today is Tuesday 17th no check. When I contacted them was told it was mailed and they like to give it 21 days before following it up. This is my first time with them and I have a few hundred dollars due to me, I cant believe there attitude. What is the norm in days receiving your check once its mailed?
I did not see a credit for a purchase I made. Used their form and they got right on it. My account was credited the next day. Kept me posted throughout. Thanks!
If you guys want a TRUSTWORTHY and FAST/ACCURATE shopping portal with Costco/Nordstroms level customer service then you MUST USE EBATES. THEY ARE SUCH A BOSS! No joke here. They made a fanboy out of me for sure!
Located in startup arena San Francisco, they are CRAZY at tracking accuracy. My orders track in almost real-time SAME DAY! Complex orders show up very clearly and their website is very very easy to understand. Payout is also very easy!
NO other portal does that. I use a LOT of portals. Many are ghetto jank. You always pray that everything works OK and you always have to fight for your money, but NOT with Ebates. Therefore, customer service is SO key! They respond so quickly and they are so friendly! This is not even an annual membership site! This is all free! IMHO customer service is what makes/breaks a portal.
I mean look at Max over here on this site. Thats awesome! Thats like Yelp having a dedicated representative from the merchant always addressing issues and helping out! So critical!
The other portals just dont cut it. You always have to wait 3-5 days for tracking to show up and you never know whats up. Also, complaints are rarely addressed. I feel like random strangers are just hired to pretend there is customer service on other sites. Thats why so many people dont bother with portals. They think its too much work and its just stupid. I would agree. Just depends on who you use though.
Ebates has been awesome and I am totally impressed. But I just wish they MATCHED other portals! I want to ALWAYS use Ebates. But I cant if another site is offering 5% and Ebates is only offering 1%! Dude! Cmon guys! Step it up! Thats a huge road block!
Also, HatTip over to Patrick@ Ebates Customer Care. Hes awesome. I hope he knows how much I appreciate his help. Maybe Max here can even forward the message and let him know!
THANK YOU EBATES!
Nicole is amazing. I was having trouble with an order and she helped me make this work both via email and on the phone. A truly amazing customer service experience. Please promote Nicole and give her double her current salary ;)
I so wish I would have known about Ebates sooner! I probably Would have been on tv!. Besides getting money back from your shopping trips, the representatives at Ebates are willing to listen and get back to you very quickly. If you love to shop at Macy's, Walmart or Land's End, just a few of the stores available, sign up for Ebates, you won't be sorry!
I noticed that I did not receive cash back from a recent Pep Boys order. I reached out to customer service and within hours they had researched my request and credited my account. I am very impressed with the turn around time!
After I couldn't find my "cash back" from a pretty large purchase, I contacted customer service and they were very prompt in getting back to me (within a day). The retailer had actually processed my order number incorrectly and it wasn't showing that I had purchased from the retail site directly. Customer service quickly responded and informed me I couldn't get my cash back because of this reason and kindly offered me a "valued customer cash bonus". I emailed customer service again and verified that I made my purchase from one of the Ebates retailer links... they very promptly responded, remedied the situation and I got the full amount of my cash back! I really feel that Ebates values their customers and it was evident through my experience with customer service. Again, they were prompt, courteous, gracious and persistent in really helping me. Thank you!
Because of my latest experience I will forever be a loyal customer and shopper with ebates! Absolutely BEYOND expectations and helped me in every way they could. Very fast responses- excellent reps. Thank you guys!
Customer service has always quickly resolved any issues that have come up. Very pleased with their service.

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.
