WFMW: Easy Money
I love online shopping -- maybe even a bit more than I love saving money -- but it's a close call. I've always searched for coupon codes for free shipping or discounts before I'd buy online, but often I couldn't find any savings.
Until I discovered ebates! Ebates is a shopping portal, meaning you start at their site and search by item or by vendor, and then enter the vendor's site to make your purchase. It is a free service, but when you click through to the certain vendors, a window pops up listing the discount codes for that vendor. For example, I bought some new bras from Target the other day and got a coupon code for free shipping. When I bought an extra carseat recently, I got a code for $15 off and free shipping.
Savings are great, but here is the BEST part about ebates. MONEY BACK! For each purchase, you get a percentage back, and you can elect to receive a check or have it deposited into your paypal account. So far, I'm made $27.25 doing nothing but shopping for things I was going to buy anyway.
If you sign up through my referral link, you'll get a $5 sign-up bonus when you make your first purchase through their link. (I'll get $5, too, which is darn nice!)
HAPPY SHOPPING AND SAVING!

I love eBates! I have over $12 so far and I only joined a few months ago. I use it mostly when I shop for fabric on line, or to get computer supplies. Since I'm buying the stuff anyway, why not make a little money at it? And it's easy to do, which is something I really like. You know, though, I missed that I can have it deposited into Paypal. Thanks for that head's up...now I have to go over there and figure out how to do that.
thats awesome info! I think I have been aware of ebates in the back of my mind, just haven't ever been there! Now I will have to sign up!
Cool! I signed up through your link, but the specific store I needed (for a wedding gift) wasn't listed. Bummer! But I'll be coming back next time!
