Ebates is the pioneer and leader of online Cash Back Shopping. The company was founded in 1998 by two Deputy District Attorneys in Silicon Valley who used to prosecute online fraud & identity theft before starting Ebates (so you can be sure we are very into secure online transactions!). So go ahead, sign up and start shopping now. Joining Ebates is always free - you'll never pay us anything. And four times a year or more, we'll mail you a Big Fat Check, or transfer the money to your PayPal account if you'd prefer. We can even send the money to your favorite charity. All 100% free.
People often ask: "This sounds too good to be true, how are you able to do it?" It really is quite simple. Just like almost every other online shopping center, we get a commission from the stores when you make a purchase. Instead of keeping that money - like almost all other sites do - we share it with you!
So, as long as 1000+ of the world's top online stores are happy to pay a bonus to attract the new, valuable customers we send their way, Ebates is going to continue to send Big Fat Checks to our satisfied customers across the globe.
How soon is Cash Back credited to my account?Most cash back rewards are credited within 48 hours. However, it is possible for this process to take up to 30 days. Some merchants are able to report your purchase as soon as the product ships. Some merchants, however, cannot confirm your purchase until the return period for the product you have purchased has elapsed.
Once you complete your purchase, Ebates actively requests an order confirmation from the merchant so we can credit your account as soon as possible. Once the merchant finalizes the purchase details, we will immediately send you notification via email and update your account summary.
When using coupons and specials at any of our merchants, we can only guarantee your cash back rewards with the use of coupons that are listed on the Ebates site.
Still wondering about a purchase made more than 30 days ago that isn't showing in your account summary? Contact Customer Care. Back to top
When do I get my Big Fat Check?Every 3 months, we cut you a Big Fat Check for purchases posted during the previous quarter based on the schedule below. But if you've earned less than $5.01 Cash Back, we'll carry over your money to the next check. We want to make sure there is enough "Fat" in your Big Fat Check. Bonus Rewards do not count toward the $5.01 minimum. The term “Bonus Rewards” includes monies earned as a Sign-up Reward or Tell-A-Friend Bonus.
You have the option of receiving your Big Fat Check in the mail, or you can have the money sent to you via PayPal. However, if you want to receive your money via PayPal, we require that you enter your full name and valid mailing address into your account profile for verification purposes in order to receive a PayPal payment.

Why aren't the merchant links working?Some programs that you may have installed can update the "Hosts" file of your computer. This may cause problems with the Ebates program.
In many cases, you will not be able to reach our merchant sites if your Hosts file has been altered.

How do I receive my Cash Back?You have three choices:
1) Big Fat Check: We send a check directly to you- shipping fees are on us. You can change your personal settings (including your address) on the Account Settings page. Be sure your settings are updated before we send out a payment. If no address is present in your account profile, we’ll simply keep the money in your account, and your total will carry over into the next quarter.
2) PayPal: We deposit your payment in your PayPal account- sender’s fees are on us. Just enter your full name and mailing address into your Account Profile for verification purposes.
3) Charity/Organization/Family Member: If you think Cash Back is all gravy, why not send it to your favorite charity, organization or family member? It’s free and shipping fees are on us. Click Here to send your Big Fat Check to a charity, organization or family member.
Note: Ebates does not validate the tax-deductibility of donations that you send to charities. It is your sole responsibility to document donations and to determine that donations to an organization are tax-deductible.
