Another Option for Online Shopping Discounts - Ebates
I wrote not too long ago about using fatwallet cashback when purchasing online to save money. There is also another site, ebates, that is very similar. They have discounts and different promotions if you click through their site to the site you are buying from. Sometimes it’s a percentage back while other times they have offers of a straight cash amount back.
When you sign up for ebates the also give you $5 free. It stays as pending until you make a purchase. If you sign up and put in the email address of the person who referred you they also get $5. But that isn’t necessary to get your bonus. If you would like to refer me you can use Jason at pragmaticfinance dot com.
I had checked the site out a long time ago but didn’t use it because fatwallet was giving much higher discounts on the stores I purchased from online. However, I am going to sign up for some Sharebuilder bonuses and remember reading about a $20 bonus if you apply through ebates. A simple search on their site for Sharebuilder brought it up.
Even if you don’t do that deal it’s still good for discounts and the signup bonus doesn’t hurt either.
