Ebates Review: Is it legit or a scam? How to use Ebates to get cash back shopping. Tips, hacks, and everything you need to know.

It’s got to be a scam. Or there has to be some catch. It’s advertised on TV. It just doesn’t make sense. Why would a company give me cash back for shopping somewhere else?!

But I gave it a try. This was over three years ago. And what happened? Well, they gave me $10 free after my first purchase. And cash back on my shopping trip to Amazon. Yep, seriously. No points I had to redeem for gift cards. No arguments. The cash back and $10 bonus for signing up showed up on my Ebates balance. And the next time they issued money (they issue your balance to you four times a year), the money showed up in my PayPal account. (You can also get a check issued).

My cash back as of 4/21/20. So I’ve gotten over $900 in less than 3 years.

Above is a screenshot of my most most recent balance of 4/21/20. I’ve been a member for less than 3 years. And gotten over $900 back. On stuff I was already going to buy!


How It Works

1. Sign up using this link: Join Ebates.

2. On the top (see image below), on the very right, there will be an option to “Join Now”. Click that.

3. You can sign up using your Google or Facebook i.d. or using your e-mail. (I use my e-mail).

4. There are multiple ways you can use Ebates to shop:

  • You can go directly to the Ebates page. Click on the store you want to shop at. Then click “Shop Now.” It will direct you to the stores website. Shop like normal. And your cash back will be credit to your account in a few days.
Ebates: Cashback for Shopping. Is Ebates legits? Is Ebates a scam? The truth about ebates and exactly how it works. Cash back for shopping at Amazon, Wal-Mart, eBay, and more.
Go to the main ebates page. Click on one of the stores or search (circled in red above) for the store of your choice. Then click the “shop now” button that appears with that store’s details. It will direct you straight to the store.
  • You can install the Ebates (Rakuten) extension to your browser. I definitely have this. Once you install, if you visit a site that has cash back, a little box will pop up telling you that you can get cash back. Click it. Shop like normal. And your cash back will be credited to your account in a few days.
Go directly to the store of your choice. If you have the browser button installed, a pop-up will appear. Just click on “Activate” to get cash back at that store.

• Ebates/Rakuten also has an app!

This screenshot is from my phone. While the deals are always changing, there are special “in app” only deals, such as UberEats, Groupon, and more.

Download the Ebates/Rakuten app. Open it and shop via it to get cash back.

how to get your money

A few days after you shop, your account will be credited. They send your money quarterly (as long as you have more than $5 balance…which you will, since they’re giving you $10 FREE).

You can choose where to get your money by going to “Account Settings” (click on your name in the upper right-hand corner and a menu will appear).

Once you click, scroll down. You can choose to be paid via PayPal, a check, or American Express Rewards Points (the last is new).
