How to get money back on (almost) all of your online purchases: Ebates and ShopAtHome
What is it?
Ebates and ShopAtHome are virtually the same online shopping concept. If you have an account with them, and go through their site to click to whatever store you are buying from you will get a percentage back of your purchase. Each store has a different percentage back you will get and it can be anywhere from 1%-25% depending on the current promotion.
How do these sites work?
The websites have affiliate relationships with all of the stores listed on their website. So when you buy through Ebates, Ebates get a percentage and then they give you a portion of that percentage back.
Which one should I register for?
You can register for both! Sometimes one will have a higher percentage back than the other. They both essentially have the same stores, but occasionally you will get a much better deal with one over the other.
Why do it?
Really, why wouldn't you do it? It costs you nothing and you get money back. I find that I shop online a lot since we are somewhat limited in stores in our area. I would also recommending taping a small post it note to your computer to remind you to go to the sites before you buy. I have forgotten before and then I remember after I made the purchase. I did this last week with a $100 purchase where I could have gotten 9% back. Boo! Even if your purchase is small these amounts can add up! Or what if you are buying a computer - a small percentage is quite a bit when you are paying $1,000!
