While customer service did provide a response quickly, it never resulted in anything positive. I emailed 3 times inquiring about a check they sent me back in mid December but I never received. It was my first experience with ebates and initially I recommended it to all of my colleagues which I now regret. This is not what I expected from shopping on Ebates.

Great website & service!
March 1, 2016

Been using Ebates a couple years now and it works great. Have over $200 back in cash! Once in awhile there is a hiccup but when I contact customer service it always gets fixed right away. The only thing I would suggest is sometimes I buy something that would qualify but I forget to go into the Ebates portal first. I wish I could just provide proof of sale and still get the rebate.

Great
March 1, 2016

I have had a few issues, Wethersfield it be through a mistake of my own, the website, or someone I referred, when I have sent an email I not only get a response quickly, but the issues are handled promptly and not with why the mistake what's the problem. It is here you go we followed up and they are taken care of without all the hype. The customer service employees very rarely hear the good. But I give Thanks after Thanksgiving how well you handle issues. Your great

Get cash back on every purchase. Checks mailed to you periodically. Whatcha waitin for? Sign up for this free app and start getting paid to shop! Are you kidding me?

Hit or miss
February 19, 2016

I loved ebates when I first started it and I got so excited when I would see the money in my account accumulate. Customer service was always so quick to respond and help me, but when this last payment on 2/15 was never sent to me, I contacted multiple people about why it wasn't deposited and all of them said they would transfer my question to someone who could help me. It has been a week and I have heard nothing from anybody. I tried contacting a couple customer service agents again and still haven't heard back from anybody. I am trying to be patient but I am getting frustrated. Seems fishy. Very upsetting.

The Best customer service
February 19, 2016

Ebates (Ebates)
Feb 16,17:38

Dear Helen,

Thank you for your email. Our records indicate that you did not click through Ebates to place this order, but as a one time courtesy, we have updated your account to reflect this purchase.

In the future, please be sure that you are clicking through Ebates prior to placing your order. As outlined on our website, our merchants only pay us when a purchase is made by first clicking through Ebates. This is what enables us to pass the Cash Back on to you.

I must have had two Home Depot pages open.

Thankfully Ebates realized we are human and sent this prompt response that was much appreciated!

In a world were customer service is a luxurey we are not always afforded. This was completed in < 24 hours.

WAY TO GO EBATES!

Sincerely,
Helen P.

Cheaters
February 19, 2016

I have been an Ebates customer for a while. They said I had over 100.00 in my account. I got a check for less than 20.00. This place is a scam.

February 17, 2016

I did all my oders through ebates on december and they're suppose to send my cash back on febuary 15,2015. That's their schedule for BIG FAT PAYMENT then they changed it to MAY 15. Like wthell I'm just done using this stupid scam ebates I'll use something else or doesn't matter if I even get cash back it's not worth it! I learned my lesson so beware! They do not pay you on time and also take all the tell a friend rewards you have!
