Ebates (now known as Rakuten)
Using Ebates is almost a no-brainer. You get paid to shop for things you buy anyway.
Signing up is easy and Free! In fact, they give you a $10 welcome bonus when you sign up. (To qualify for the bonus, you must be a new Ebates member and place a qualifying order totaling a minimum of $25 within 90 days of joining.). To sign up you just give your email address and create a password. Easy peasy!
Ways To Make Money With Ebates
Ebates has a Refer-A-Friend program that pays you a referral fee when your friends use your special link to sign up. They get a welcome bonus and you get a referral bonus!
Add the Ebates cash back button from your browser extensions. Then when you visit eligible sites, you will get an “Activate Cash Back” reminder pop up. This way, you can get a cashback rebate without ever going to their site.
Get cashback offline at an eligible store. In-Store Cash Back is a free program that enables you to earn Cash Back even when you shop offline at your local retail stores, by linking Cash Back offers to your credit card in three simple steps:
- Add a card. Select a credit card to add to your account
- Link an offer. Find an offer through Ebates (on their site or in the Ebates App) and link it to your card
- Go shopping. Just use the card you selected to make your purchase— the Cash Back you earn will be automatically added to your account
Ebates has a mobile app. To get started, visit your app store to find the app and download it onto your mobile device. Once you’ve downloaded the app, you can activate an Ebates Shopping Trip by clicking an Ebates link.
Get the Ebates Cash Back Visa® Credit Card and earn unlimited additional Cash Back rewards, with no annual fee! In addition to Cash Back, you can earn an extra 3% Cash Back on qualifying purchases made through Ebates and 1% Cash Back on non-qualifying Ebates purchases and purchases made everywhere Visa credit cards are accepted.
Get Paid! They offer several payment options: Get a Big Fat Check sent to you, get paid by PayPal, send your Big Fat Check to anyone you choose. You get paid once a quarter as long as your balance is $5 or more. If it’s less than $5, it will roll forward to the next quarter.
The bottom line is Ebates is easy to use and your cashback adds up quickly.
Ibotta
Ibotta is an app that gives you money back for your everyday purchases. When you click here to sign up you will receive a $10 credit to your account after you redeem your first rebate!
Shop at the stores you normally would. Ibotta offers cash back at many local stores and online stores – in fact at over 2000 stores. Before shopping, log in to the app to find rebate offers.
Sometimes there will be a rebate for a product you need but for a different brand. Just don’t buy something you don’t need or spend more on a brand that will cost you more even with the rebate.
How To Get Started With Ibotta
- Choose from thousands of products at your favorite retailers and add them to Your list.
- Start with Ibotta and shop in-store or online like you always do. Submit your receipt or link your grocery account to earn cash.
- When you’re ready to get your cash, withdraw your earnings directly to your bank, PayPal, or gift cards. Easy money.
Get Your Money
Once you reach a balance of $20 in your ibotta account, you can get your money 3 ways.
- Purchase a gift card through the app. Some gift cards may require a balance of $25.
- Transfer the balance to PayPal which needs to be linked to your account.
- Transfer the balance to your Venmo account which needs to be linked to your account.
Ibotta is easy to use and it does not take long to accumulate cash.
MyPoints.com
This is another way to earn. You earn points and redeem for gift cards.
Earning points is pretty easy. There are several ways to earn such as shopping online, taking surveys, watching videos, reading email, and more.
My personal preference is receiving and reading emails. I get emails daily that gives me points to open the retailer’s page. It literally takes seconds to check the retailer page. And sometimes, they are things I would like to order 🤣. It does take a while to earn enough points to redeem, but, hey – it’s so easy!
Points can be redeemed for gift cards (physical or ecards) for over 70 restaurants and retailers.
MyPoints is easy and even if it does take a while to get enough to redeem, why leave money on the table?
