How Do You Chose Online Rebate Options (Ebates, Shop At Home, Etc)

[mmbrad02]

So I admit, I do the best I can to remember to use these services, but I do forget. I've always been of the mindset to pick one and stick with it, and since Shop at Home was the first one I came across, that's what I've always used. But I don't often hear much about it, so I'm venturing out there (just learned of Southwest Shopping Rewards from the Thread below, I feel like I've been under a rock).

So do you search all the rebate options and find who has the best deal before ordering something? I.e., juggle them all? Or do you pick one and stick with it? I find that eBates seems most popular, though I don't think I've ever signed up. I've also shopped through Swagbucks, but only if Shop at Home wasn't offering a rebate for the particular store I was using. And often, I forget to check Swagbucks.

I pretty much stick with Ebates unless I'm going thru my Ibotta app.

I used to search across. But pretty much stick to Ebates or Swagbucks these days. The other ones I used to used either bellied up, or they are not reliable.

I check swagbucks and ebates to see who has the better deal - i want the most cash back bang for my buck

Yes I check this site and go with either ebates, shop at home, topcashback or ibotta.

I generally just go with topcashback these days. They are as reliable as any in crediting you, and it's an easy cash-out at any time.

I used to do eBates when they offered larger amounts than topcashback, but I don't like having to wait until I get to a cash-out point with them.

I used to use ebates but then I tightened down the settings on my computer to not show videos automatically and not to down load some cookies and, after 4 months, I realized I hadn't gotten any credit while shopping through them. When I contacted them, they told me I had to open my computer to everything on the site so I stopped using them altogether. I don't shop online that much any more.

I check this site, ibotta, and RMN for whichever is highest. TopCashBack usually wins out for me unless one of the other portals is having a promotion.

Not sure what browser you are using and I suspect all browsers must have this but I use extensions on my chrome browser with ebates. So if I am at a website that ebates has a rebate with, it pops up on the screen to activate. I have found it very helpful. The extensions all live on/near my toolbar and work well and are easy to manage.

I use only eBates. I have it set so that it pops up whenever I look at a site so I don't miss getting it added on when I do buy. Has been very easy to use. It even pops up when I'm checking websites for hotels when we travel. Has been good for me.

I go on cashbackaholic and use whichever gives me the most cash back.
