Do you shop online? Have you heard of Ebates? If you shop online, you need to get Ebates and start making money.

What is Ebates?

You may already know that Ebates is a super cool website that gives your free money for shopping. Every time you log in to your Ebates account (or use the Ebates button) and use a store’s link from their website to make purchases, you get paid cash back.
There are tons of retailers that offer cash back on their website such as Macy’s, Wal-Mart Kohl’s, Sephora, Old Navy, eBay and more. If you are an online shopper but are not using Ebates, you are missing out on fantastic savings!!  I wanted to simplify Ebates for you, so I’ve created 3 easy steps!  This post contains affiliate links, please read my disclosure policy to learn more.

Making Money While You Shop 3 Easy Steps

1. First, you need to sign up with Ebates on the website.  Signing up and using Ebates for the first time earns you $10, after your first shopping trip, when you click here.
2. Find or search for your favorite store or stores and start shopping!  Make sure to validate after you click on the link for your chosen store.  Complete your purchase as you normally would and earn MONEY!
3. Install the Ebates cash back button to your browser.  I used to forget to use Ebates all the time before I installed the button.  This makes it so much easier to shop and earn cash back.  When you go to a qualified online shop the Ebates button automatically pulls up the deals being offered that day on the site.  You can also install the Ebates app on your phone.   You should seriously check it out!  You can’t beat free money just for shopping your favorite stores.

Other great ways to make money on Ebates.

1. You can book a hotel through Ebates and get cash back!  I’ve also used Swagbucks.  You can read more about my Swagbucks experience here.  You can also shop and save with Swagbucks and I usually compare to see which will give me the most cash back before I shop online.
2. Refer a friend.  This is a super easy way to make some extra cash!  Once you have set up your account and used Ebates you can refer friends with your referral link and earn even more cash.  Ebates makes it super easy to share in an email, on Facebook and Twitter.
