How to Use Ebates to Get Rebates - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. If you are an online shopper, you will want to listen up so you can really save some money this holiday season. One of my favorite sites if you are an online shopper is called Ebates.com. And what you will do is in the upper right hand corner you can click sign up, if you are not a member. Totally free, they just need to get your address so they know who to mail your check to. The next thing you will do is if there is a particular category that you are shopping for, let us say you are shopping for books and magazines. You click on that, you see all the books and magazine offers, the different stores and how much cash back they are giving you. Or if there is a particular store you had like to shop and you want to see if there is any ebates available, you can type that in. So let us suppose I want to make a photo calendar for Christmas and I like Snapfish. I will type in Snapfish, and this is what comes up. I discover that Snapfish is going to give me 20% cash back on my purchase, and then I can also use this coupon code to get free shipping. So that is another perk, I will know the coupon codes. So if I am ready to make my calendar I will go ahead and Shop Now. I am directed to the Snapfish site where I could actually make my calendar. And then Ebates every few months, they are keeping track of all of the cash back that you have earned, they will send you what they call the big fat check. So whenever you are shopping online, get in the habit of going through Ebates. That way you will never have to leave that coupon code box blank again, because they will help you out with that and that little bit of extra cash you earn will be a nice welcome surprise when the check comes in the mail.
