Many of us will be making more online purchases than usual over the next several weeks as we scour websites for bargains on gifts. But did you know that you can earn cash back as you do your shopping using Ebates? Ebates has partnered with thousands of top online stores to give you cash back on your purchases when you shop. Before you buy anything online, just sign into your Ebates account, search the store you want to shop, find any coupon codes available, and enter the online store you want to buy from. Then you get a certain percent of the money you spend at that online store back in the form of a check after you reach certain earning thresholds. It’s really super easy.
And you can an automatic $5 bonus when you sign up.
Some of the fab money-back offers I see on Ebates right now:
8% back at Sephora
10% back at The Body Shop
3% back at Target
15% back at Shutterfly
10% back at 1-800-FLOWERS
3% back at iTunes (I didn’t realize they were on Ebates until just now! Woohoo!)
I’ve also heard really positive reviews of the Cashbaq site that is very similar to Ebates, but I haven’t yet tried it. If you’ve enjoyed Cashbaq, I would love to hear your thoughts on the site in the comments. I see they are offering $5 cash back when you sign up as well.
One nice thing about Cashbaq is that they have some pretty sweet “Big Finds” each day on their homepage. Today’s big finds include: Samsung Bluetooth Headset for $5.75 plus free shipping (reg. $50), Belgique Stainless Steel 12pc Cookware Set for $135.79 (reg. $230), and more.

If a website also participates in Upromise, do you get both credits?
Hmm… good question, Laura. I’m not sure. I suggest asking Ebates customer service about that: http://www.ebates.com/help/customer_care/wheresmycashback.htm?navigation_id=18571
