Ebates is 5 ☆
March 5, 2015

I love Ebates! It is great to get money back for things I am going to buy anyway. An awesome way to save money on online purchases. Customer service is also top notch. Any issues I have had are always resolved in a timely, professional, courteous manner. Ebates, you rock!

Log in Issues
March 4, 2015

I set up an account through a referral and made a purchase, but once I tried to log back in I couldn't. I emailed Ebates and after a few emails back and forth the issue was dealt with to my satisfaction.

I purchased a product throught a site via Ebates BUT used an additional coupon that was not from the Ebates site which (I) unknowingly did not (know this did not) allow Ebates to receive credit for the sale. Ebates graciously gave me credit for the sale anyway but also educated me on using external coupons can compromise a cash back transaction so I know what not to do in the future! Thanks again for the help!

Though they don't have a phone line you can call, the customer service was prompt, helpful, and generous. This site is already great in terms of its concept, but having a great support staff shows how well the company is run and that they care about their users. I highly recommend using this sight and recommending it to all who ever do any kind of online shopping.

March 3, 2015

The person who helped me (Alexis) not only solved my problem quickly and without issue, but also managed to find another issue that I was not aware of, and fix that as well for me! GREAT service.

Great customer service
March 2, 2015

After not receiving my rebate check, I contacted customer service to inquire about my payment. Alexis contacted me within a few hours to inquire about my mailing address. After confirming my address, she emailed me again to apologize for the delay and to say a new check was being sent. I consider this great customer service. Something lacking in so many businesses today.

Just wanted to let you know that I like your site; easy to use
And fun too. Your customer service is great and extremely responsive too - once had an issue where I shopped, somehow didn't notice wasn't in Ebates, but with my confirmation info, you gave me the cash back. That was awesome! I try to use your site as much as I can, but I usually shop Amazon and unfortunately, not in the departments you advertise. I also love the Ebates button - I have it on my Chrome tool bar. AND I love that when I go
To any site that you sponsor, the button pops up to remind me to click! I'm so glad that I found your website.

EBATES ROCKS!
March 2, 2015

I have to give kudos to the customer service folks. When I wrote them about an issue I had over Christmas, I honestly didn't expect a reply until sometime next week. Let me say, minutes went by and I had my reply. They asked for all the info I could provide and within a few hours, I not only had my answers, but I had my rebate. I tell EVERYONE that I know, family, doctors, nurses, friends, customers at my store, EVERYONE about ebates! They truly ROCK!

Great Customer Service!
March 1, 2015

I recently tried to book a vacation through Ebates, however I had forgotten my password and after several failed attempts, I was unable to do so. I had to go ahead and book my vacation. I contacted customer service and explained my situation. They reset my password and went above and beyond to make sure I got my ebates cash back! WOW! I think they have great customer service! They stayed in constant contact with me and solved my situation in a timely manner! Thanks Ebates for a great experience!

It's hard to believe all those reviews are about the same website Ebates. I have been using Ebates for months and a lot of my purchases are not reported and I have to send uncountable emails and phone calls and only get fueled with BS, waste my time and still do to receive cash back. Last time I called to complain I had over 10 cash back requests that were not yet added to my account, I was told I would have $10 customer appreciation when I made my next purchase through Ebates. Not that I am still waiting to receive my cash back for the last over 10 purchases I made but I also never received the $10 customer appreciation. When I called to complain that despite making a new purchase through Ebates the $10 customer appreciation was not added to my account. The response I was given is that they are still waiting for the store to report my purchase just like the other over 10 purchases that were not added to my account and because the store of course did not report my purchase they cannot give me the $10 customer appreciation. I feel like they think their customers are a bunch of dumbs! I cannot believe in what other reviews are saying about how fast they respond to their requests because I have to send uncountable requests and it's very hard for them to respond to your emails, they act like they are doing you a favor in giving you cash back when you could and should be using another cash back source instead of waste your time trying to get for them to do what they are supposed to do. Very disappointing!
