Shopping online isn’t only convenient, but in a lot of cases it is a necessity.  So if you’re going to spend the time to shop online, shouldn’t you be paid for your efforts?

Ebates is the pioneer and leader of online Cash Back Shopping. They are the leading online destination for savvy shoppers interested in earning cash back on their online purchases, and have been paying people to shop online since 1998!

Currently, Ebates offers cash back at over 1500 stores including Walmart, Target, Staples, and many, many more. With Daily Doubles, thousands of coupons, and a team of bloggers keeping you up to date on the latest deals, Ebates.com is the place to go to save money on all your online shopping.

To earn your cash back, sign up for Ebates, and then when you shop online, use the links from the Ebates website to get to your favorite stores.  Ebates issues cash back in quarterly checks, but you will see your earnings on the right sidebar every time you visit the page, your reward for being a savvy shopper!

Ebates is offering a new referral promotion!

For each new friend you refer to Ebates from 1/1/13 and 3/31/13, you will earn $5 and they will each get a $10 gift card to the store of their choice (from a limited selection).
