True, Honest and Real Awesome Deals! – Rakuten: Cash Back & Deals Review

I signed up a couple of years ago or so. Skeptical at the beginning, I made small purchases and chose the “Paper Check” option for my “rebates (ebates.com was the name of the site at the time). To keep this short yet concise, over time and after multiple purchases, some of which were large; such as computer monitors then a new Dishwasher from Samsung, servers, laptops and workstations from Dell, Hotel bookings, etc. I have, up-to-date, received close to $3,000. Even their “Missing Cashback” process is simple and fast. I have recommended the (now) Rakuten site, app and overall service to all my family and all the friends I was able to reach. Feel free to ask me any questions or if you’re hesitating using the app/service. And, NO, I have neither direct, nor indirect interest, relationship, ownership and/or any other financial incentive to endorse this App/Service, other than what I stated above, the rebates I receive for my purchases from enrolled vendors. was a big skeptic. I thought, initially, that there must be a catch. I was wrong. Most if not all of my favorite shopping retailers participate in the eBates program and the rewards are very real! I got over $200 in 3 month and this was just me trying it out. Now, I will be shopping always through eBates. It's an awesome and a simple, yet great concept and is a well executed and operated business. They're always adding retailers and services. Thank you eBates. My one negative is that they still mail physical check, no option for ACH and they send checks once a month, so as a customer, I have to wait a while to get the cash back. I hope they're working on adding either electronic transfers OR issue their own debit cards, or both options. Of course the security will have to be very tight. I have high confidence they're working on a feature like that, and no I am not an employee. Just a big fan and active customer :)
