What's your biggest ebates "fat check" amount?

[kool_kat]

I was just looking at my ebates account and will get nearly 170.00 on the next payout. Last quarter was 188 which is the biggest payout I have ever received. My ebates has definitely increased due to churning. This made me curious - what is everyone's biggest payout from ebates for a quarter?

Around $250 will be my next payout and will be my largest but that is cashback from booking a Disney Cruise with them and using mastercard.

Largest: $370.94. That was when Orbitz had their 20% back deal. Next one is pretty good: $246.12. Next one won't be very good since I've paid for my trip but I imagine it will still be over $100.

The biggest one I have gotten has been $115 prob due to Christmas shopping and the smallest one will probably be the next one I get. I think my last email said I had $18 (I am trying to not order online as much as I am saving for a new purse...lol)

Sorry - couldn't resist.

I had one for almost $200 - they had Home Depot at 10%, and we needed to replace a double wall oven. I ordered it online for in- store pickup, and got the cash back.

$147.54. They gave me cash back on my tax return 7x. I contacted them about it and they said there was nothing they could do to fix it and to enjoy the extra money back. Sweet. Same check had my stuff from CheapTickets from our last WDW trip.

Wow that's nice. I just bought a mattress from Sam's but they were only 1.5%. Still, 20.00 is a nice way to start the new quarter.

$428! We bought appliances for our new kitchen during Q4. I also did all of our Christmas shopping through ebates, plus I referred friends and got a $125 bonus.

$686. I picked up some no-expiration tickets when Orbitz was running the 20% special. That was a heck of a deal.

$265 with the orbitz 20% special..

Yes, what's churning?

Yes, what's churning?

Gift card churning, at it's basic definition, is buying a gift card at a discount using reseller sites or points you may have through a credit card or some other way of getting it cheaper and then turning that gift card into one you can use better or sell. Some retailers will allow you to buy a gift card with a gift card so some people just 'churn' once to get what they want. Others will 'churn' through multiple stores going through cash back sites each time to earn even more money.

I have been doing it all wrong. I should be shopping through ebates to get cash back? This is mind blowing!

PLUS using free in store pickup - I got that idea from these boards - something Im going to purchase anyway (minus groceries) I willl have shipped to the store for free THOUGH ebates, and it keeps down inpluse buying and I get the cash back for a purchase I was making anyway

Love Ebates! I use the buy online pick up in store option a lot. Free money is always good. I just don't understand why I have such a hard time convincing others to sign up using my referral code. So far I've only had 3 referrals. So many people are skeptical! It really is free money with no catch. I haven't made any large purchases, so my biggest payout was $90. Congrats to those with bigger checks!

I signed up and am ready to use the service. In the past I did a lot of online shopping. This would have really helped. Now that I am saving for my WDW trip, I don't purchase as much. BUT I'm going to look into the purchase/pickup option. I do that with other things and love it. Thank you for your thoughts.

My biggest ever was $99.95 in 2012. I think it also amazing to see how much you've received since the beginning. My total is $1,100.55 and my first check received was in February 2000. That was a long time ago!
