Works great!
June 6, 2019

I use the app or the site every time I make a purchase. Whether or not there's cash back, it's a great place to find coupon codes too.

I have been a member of (Ebates) Rakuten for a long time. I am pleased with the site and the savings. Many stores I frequently use are members.

Ebates helped me resolve a problem that I was unaware of on my end. Thanks to them I have more advantages to my account.

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.

I found what I wanted fast and got cash back. I often shop at HSN but forget sometimes to use Rakuten. Then I remember.

I've tried a lot of different cashback services over the years and am now switching almost entirely to ebates. They may not always have the highest cashback %, but the customer service is awesome and I know that I will reliably get the promised cashback amount. After being burned by many other websites with lots of fine print, I'd rather reliably get the cashback % from ebates than take a gamble for a few % points more from somewhere else.

The only reason I will shop somewhere other than ebates is for a select few retailers that ebates doesn't offer any cashback. Otherwise for me, it's ebates all the way!

A few things to consider: 1) If you use a promo code that isn't listed on ebates, then your cashback isn't guaranteed (sometimes it will work, but don't count on it). This seems pretty reasonable and straightforward to me, so don't complain to Ebates if you don't get cashback on an order with a coupon code that they didn't list.

2) Ebates is one of the few websites that does generally give cashback when you redeem a gift card. This is great for people like me who don't live near their immediate family and inevitably wind up with a lot of gift cards after the holidays.

3) For those of you that have said ebates deactivates accounts that are owed high cashback payouts, I have not had that experience at all. I've used ebates for years and accrued a lot of $ in cashback because I do almost all of my shopping online, I've never had any issues with ebates paying me back. It really does seem too good to be true when I look at my cashback totals over the past few years, but ebates reliably deposits my cashback into my paypal account every time. Even though I never remember to send my actual ebates referral link to friends, I have recommended it often through word of mouth and will continue to do so - if you don't already have ebates, definitely give it a try!
