Can you only use it for online shopping?
Do you search and buy though the Ebates app only? I don't know why this is confusing me so much.
The cash back is used for future purchases? Or do you actually get a check or something?
Do the stores change? Right now I think I only see like 10

Online shopping only

If you open the app, search for the store you want. Says Macy's. Click on Macy's and it will say you on on your way to %6 cash back (or whatever it is) shop normally and pay for purchase however you normally pay

You get a check quarterly. It's money so you can use it however you want.

I don't know if the stores change but there are a millions.

install the tool for your browswer tool bar. the little E will come up and tell you if there are ebates eligible for that site. it also searches for coupons for you as you check out.

i get the quarterly deposit to my paypal account. You can have a check mailed.

its legit. i've used it for years.

i think they have a phone app too and I thought some retailers in store if you scan the app give you credit for instore purchases. *I think*

Yep, it's for online shopping only. You only get credit for your purchase if you go through the Ebates website, app, or Cash Back button that you can install on your browser. I never used to remember to go to Ebates first so I installed the extension on Google Chrome so every time I visit a website that offers cash back (Macy's, Bloomies, whatever) there will be a popup in the corner that says "Activate Cash back."

There are a couple of options to get your cash back. I get a quarterly check mailed to my house that I just deposit into my checking account. It is so easy. I have gotten back over $400 in the few years that I've used it. You get bonus offers for referring friends, too. If anyone wants to join, here's my referral link

You always need to start out on their page. Run a search for the store, though not all are there. Then they connect you to the online store. Over the years I've gotten back about $350 either as an Amazon gift card or a deposit to PayPal.

They just started in- store ebates for select stores. You open a barcode that's scanned at checkout and you earn the rewards that way.

Install the app on your phone. Super easy!

Many stores were over 10% cash back this weekend. Ive earned over $60 in cash back this weekend alone.

Let me know if you need a code.

Ebates.com has just recently started with in store cash baci. I haven't used it yet so not sure how it works but typically you just go to app or ebates.com website and follow their link to retailer website to make purchase.

Re: Can someone explain how to use Ebates?

Yes online shopping only. Start on ebates. Search for the store you want to shop on the ebates site. It will show you the % you get back from that store. Those specials change regularly, especially right now with the holidays coming up. Ebates will link you to the online store with a unique shopping trip # to keep track of how much you spend. You can continue to use coupon codes while you shop as you normally would. You then get a check mailed to you quarterly. I believe you also get a gift card mailed to you as a gift just for signing up. $5 or $10 worth depending on the store you pick. It's legit.

If you go to the ebates site you can select the link called in-store and it has a section that says how it work s. Basically you have to register a credit card and use that credit card to pay. You link that credit card to the ebate deal from the store you are at.
