Get $10 when you sign up for Ebates
With the holidays approaching, I’ve been on the prowl for some good deals. Although I try to make most of my purchases with gift cards, I do like using ShopDiscover (when you make the purchase with your Discover Card, you get cash back), UPromise, and Ebates. The basic idea with all of these sites is that you shop online through their affiliate link and earn money back. It’s great when you’re making a large purchase, and even small purchases add up over time.
Anyhow, I just received an e-mail from Ebates – if you use this link you can get $10 when you sign up (without the affiliate link, you get $5). I also get $10, so be sure that if you do sign up that you get your own affiliate link to share (you can also send e-mails to friends and family if you don’t have a blog). If you sign up 2 people, you get $30 instead of $20 – this could really help out when doing holiday shopping!
One thing to keep in mind that you won’t be able to cash in your $10 until you earn at least $5 cash back from purchases. It’s not too hard to earn the $5; for example, I earned $1.43 when I spent $13 at Dale and Thomas for a gift, and $1.14 from a $38 purchase at Lands’ End.
Between the 3 programs, I can sometimes get more money back using ShopDiscover, and I have found that Ebates usually reaps the same benefits as UPromise. ShopDiscover doesn’t have as many stores, though. Also, if you don’t use a Discover Card, you won’t get cash back.
The $10 deal lasts until October 31st. Enjoy!
