Excellent response
November 24, 2015

Would just like to let you know that I am very pleased with the quick response on 2 purchases I made through Ebates.
I inquired about both orders placed with QVC and as soon as I made the inquiries with proof of purchase my cash back was added to my account. It is a pleasure doing business with your company.

Referals
November 24, 2015

Watched my friend who nothing about ebates click my referral only to be told not eledgable, probably just a scam so they can spam others with advertising for your site tricking you to enter peoples you know email accounts so they can further their own business with no reward to you.

Rob - Customer Care - AWESOME!
November 22, 2015

I was having difficulties entering my address into my account so the rebate check could be sent. I sent an email to Customer Care and assumed I either wouldn't hear back or would be provided with the directions I already had from the website. Instead, I heard back almost immediately from Rob who was polite and friendly and fixed my problem himself in a jiffy. Awesome service! Thanks so much!

I just wanted to warn anyone who maybe consider to become a seller on Rakuten... DON'T!
Their customer service support system is extremely unsatisfactory. They do not have a contact tel number nor a chat and the only way to communicate with them is through email. Majority of the emails they reply the day after. So, everything you do is on hold until you get an answer from them!

EBATES is Awesome!
November 19, 2015

I just signed up with EBATES and tested it out with a small purchase on eBay - got my "Cash Back" posted the next day! I had a question on my 2nd purchase, and EBATES Customer Service Dept responded immediately - Krystal was very prompt in helping to resolve my issue. If you do a lot of online shopping, you should consider signing up for EBATES & earn Cash Back on all eligible purchases.

Getting even better
November 18, 2015

The process seems to be crediting "ebates" more quickly, and communicating with the customer so they know they have posted.

THE BEST!
November 18, 2015

Ebates is so easy to use. And I get a quarterly check from shopping at places that I normally shop- it's like free money! Give yourself the gift of Ebates.

Why wouldn't you join?
November 17, 2015

You have nothing to lose by signing up for ebates. Sometimes money adds up fast if you are making larger purchases, and sometimes it accumulates a little slower. Any way you look at it, you are making money off of a purchase that you already plan on making. Plus you can get even more money by referring friends (if they join). They also have excellent customer service. Prompt responses with agents that want to make sure they solve the problem and keep their members happy!

Love new ICON
November 17, 2015

The new automatic sign on to e bates is awesome. I would often forget to use it, even though I had a post-it-note with EBATES on it on my desk, I often overlooked it. Now I don't miss my rebate. I love it. Thanks for this new feature.

Best Customer Service Ever!
November 16, 2015

I am new to Ebates and fairly new to the Internet ordering fad(I know haha) so to say I'm not tech savvy would be a horrible understatement! I had made a few purchases and unknowingly browsed right out of my Ebates account and just kept on shopping. Once I realized that I had not linked my account properly I sent Ebates an email with a pic of my orders. As a super sweet courtesy for my being not so smart, Ebates helped me get all the info where it needed to be in order to receive the maximum points and it took no time at all for me due to the kind and helpful folks at Ebates! The customer service is impeccable and I'm so glad that my cousin told me about them. Please take advantage of the awesome savings and cash Bach options with Ebatrs if u are not already a member. You will not be disappointed! Rep Rob, if u can see this... U ROCK! Thank u so much for all of ur help

Not happy with service
November 16, 2015

I purchased a flight to Italy and I was under the impression I would get back 7% it was not the fact. It was 1.50 not happy I didn't read the fine print an felt like I was miss led. Then they said I'd get a check 11-15-2015. Just checked again now its changed to 2-2016. I wrote them And I won't do business with them again. Karen Hurd
