Online Shopping Reminder for Labor Day Weekend

I shop online a lot now that I have two kids. In my pre-motherhood days, I used to actually go in to stores to buy registry gifts, birthday gifts, clothes for myself, etc. That would be quite the chore at this point, so online shopping is my solution. I needed to buy a wedding gift for my nephew and his wife, so I went to ebates.com to see if any of the 3 stores they registered at were offering cash back. To my enjoyment, I saw that orders from Macy's would qualify for 6% cashback, and that's one of the stores they were registered at. Woot! There's literally nothing else you have to do besides start at Ebates and link to the retailer's site from there. The added benefit is that the site alerted me to the fact that Macy's was having a 15% off sale with free shipping on orders over $75. Bonus!

To date I've earned $230 in cash back by starting at the Ebates site first before ordering something online. It's also reminded me about coupon codes and sales, so I've saved countless extra dollars from that too. What you earn gets paid out quarterly, and I elect to get mine sent directly to my Paypal account. That way I can access it immediately. You can also have it sent to you in the form of a check. I'm not pulling your leg - the site is completely legit and I've been using it for at least a couple years now. I don't usually like to refer people to programs or websites, but I can't think of a reason not to tell everyone about this site. They literally give you money back each time you make a purchase online with a retailer they support. You were going to shop there anyway!
