Ebates or Topcashback? How does this cashback thing work?



As customers, we're always looking for better deals! That includes sales notifications and other promotional updates we receive in our mailbox, our smart phones, and of course in shops. I spend a lot of time shopping online, not only because it's easy and 24/7, more importantly I get PAID to shop online. How's that sound?

I was introduced to ebates.com  by a friend of mine. I didn't think too much to sign up for it after she told me she's earned over USD 400 in cashback from online purchases. She works at Sephora and she told me there're a few times in a year ebates.com would give more than 15% cashback for Sephora, along with her Sephora employees discount (20% off everything all the time, for others like us we have to wait til the VIB events to enjoy such good discount), she only has to pay 65% for the stuff she buys online. Now that's a BIG difference from the rest of shoppers.

When I started to earn cashback on ebates I decided to tell my best friend about it. And then one day she told me she discovered a better website called TopCashBack which apparently gives her higher cashback than ebates in almost EVERYTHING. She's quite right! I did find most deals on topcashback are better than ebates. However, there're still some vendors aren't available on topcashback. Therefore, I realize the best way to secure all the cashback I could have earn from all the online purchases is to check BOTH websites first to check which site gives better rate. I've found a difference up to 10% for the same vender. That's USD10 you could save for each 100 dollars You spend, and all it takes is to compare before you buy your stuff online.

Some people might be worried about the security issues or think it might be a scam. I haven't had any issues with using these two websites. I do think they definitely track my user behavior and perhaps sell it to interested parties such as marketers for consumer study. I've been working in marketing industry and I will definitely pay for those data.

Anyway, pictures below are my current earnings from ebates and topcashback. I use paypal to withdraw money from both accounts and the process is smooth.

TopCashBack:



Just to share one of the really good cashback deals from topcashback - UGG (if you buy it in store you can't even get 10% off on any classic boots).
