I always get a prompt response to any issues that arise. My cash back checks arrive as promised! It's just silly not to shop via Ebates!

Great customer service in verifying that my last Big Fat Check was never received by mail. Customer Service rep, Eric replied incredibly quickly to inform me that the funds would be deposited electronically into my Pay Pal account. Almost too good to be true... getting money back for shopping and terrific customer service. Thanks Eric and Ebates.

I did not receive a big fat check that had been sent out almost a month ago so I contacted customer service. They told me i had to wait 30 days before they could issue a replacement check. I was in contact with Alexis and she was amazing. She replied to me so fast and was extremely helpful. Great customer service.

Last time I bought $184 on GNC online
December 8, 2014

Last time I bought $184 on GNC online. I entered this website from Ebates, which will give me 5% cash back. After one week, I didn't receive the cash back. So I just send an email to Ebates. The customer care officer of Ebates is so kind that even they have not receive the final confimation from GNC, they still add the cash back to my account after I provide the purchase information and order number. It relief my worry about this cash back. This experience is really nice when using Ebates.

I'm fairly new to ebates and have had several questions. Every time I sent an inquiry to customer service, I was answered later that day with a resolution. Everyone has been so friendly and patient with me. I love this opportunity to keep a little cash in my pocket as I shop and being with Ebates has been a fun, rewarding experience so far.

I ordered a computer from the bestbuy.com site that was fulfilled by buy.com/Rakuten. The product was shipped quickly, but when it arrived it had specs significantly inferior to what I ordered. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with customer service who ultimately concluded that the specifications listed online were a "mistake". Given that a less knowledgable customer would not likely have realized they didn't receive what they paid for my conclusion is that this was a scam.

We had an issue with our Ebates account that was seemingly complex. Because of that, we contacted Ebates via email. Sure, it took a couple of days for them to initially respond, but the quality level of dedicated, personalized service that was offered to us in regards to the issue was extraordinary! Rachel went out of her to ensure that the problem was taken care of, and better yet, she explained to us via frequent communications what was going on with our account. This type of service is not customary for large companies, small companies, or any company anymore. Yet, Ebates and Rachel exceeded the expectations in a remarkable way!

I've been a member of Ebates for two years and in that time I've saved hundreds of dollars just by shopping through the site. If I ever have a problem, which is rare, customer service has always been very prompt and helpful. I highly recommend this site to anyone who shops online! Why not get money back when shopping? I love Ebates!

Ebates rocks!
December 5, 2014

Ebates rocks! I was hesitant at first to part with information and shopping habits, but the whole process is safe and effortless. If you install the toolbar add-on, it is even simpler. I had changed my address and forgot to tell them. I contacted them (easily and with quick response), and customer service re-issued a check to my new address... with no hassle. Such a great experience overall. I love getting the "Big Fat Checks" as well, even though my dividends have only amounted to $50 over the past 18 months. Hey, better than nothing, right?

For whatever reason, one of the ebates did not post to my account. I was worried that I would just lose out on this credit. When I alerted ebates about this, however, they were very quick in correcting the situation, and immediately posted a credit to my account, even before the Store that I had purchased the merchandise from had posted it. They were extremely helpful and very nice about assisting me with my problem. Thank you eBates! Krystal was wonderful and quickly credited my account.

Incredibly customer-friendly experience. Ebates' customer service representative was very pleasant, professional and accommodating. My issue was handled quickly and efficiently... I wish all customer care departments would use Ebates as model for dealing with consumer concerns. Great Job!
