If you frequently shop online and want to put some cash back into your wallet, then you’ll definitely want to familiarize yourself with cash back sites. Although there are quite a few cash back sites in existence my favorite sites are Ebates.com and ShopatHome.com.

If you’re unfamiliar with Ebates, it’s a FREE cash back site that offers cash back for the convenience of shopping online, to popular stores like Wal-mart, Kohl’s, JCPenney, Home Depot, Ebay, and more!

Ebates

  1. First, it’s important to go HERE and sign up or create an account with Ebates. Plus, if you don’t already have an account, you’ll receive a FREE $5 bonus just for signing up when you make your first purchase!
  2. Anytime you’re wanting to make an online purchase, be sure to log into your account to see if the store you’re wanting to purchase through is partnered with Ebates. You can find out by simply typing the name of the store in their search box.
  3. If the store is partnered with Ebates, you’ll find a certain percentage given for shopping through that link, which will be credited to your Ebates account within a few days of purchase! It’s very important to shop through the pop-up link that shows up after clicking “Shop Now” on Ebates as it contains your unique tracking link, which is needed to credit your account with the cash back!
  4. Once your account reaches $5.01 (not including the sign-up bonus), you’ll receive your first check in the mail! Checks are sent out every 3 months! Often times, Ebates or ShopatHome offer different cash back amounts for different sites, so it’s beneficial to have an account set up with each site!

ShopAtHome
  1. Fist, go HERE and sign up or create an account with ShopatHome.
  2. Anytime you’re wanting to make an online purchase, be sure to log into your ShopatHome account to see if the store you’re wanting to purchase through is partnered with them. You can find out by simply typing the name of the store in their search box.
  3. If the store is partnered with ShopatHome, you’ll find a certain percentage given for shopping through that link, which will be credited to your ShopatHome account within a few days of purchase! It’s very important to shop through the pop-up link that shows up after clicking “Shop Now” on ShopatHome as it contains your unique tracking link, which is needed to credit your account with the cash back!
  4. Once your account reaches $20 total (including the sign-up bonus!), you’ll receive your first check in the mail! Checks are sent out every 3 months as long as you’ve reached your initial $20 amount…if you haven’t yet, the amount in your account will continue to “roll over” until you’ve reached the $20 payout amount! Afterwards, you’ll start receiving checks on a regular basis.

**Keep in mind that, often times, Ebates or ShopatHome.com offer different cash back amounts for different sites, so it’s beneficial to have an account set up with each site!
