After doing some online research, I have concluded that Ebates.ca has a BAD reputation for NOT paying. Below outlines my “NOT PAID” conversation which matches many others online. I will have to start blogging about my personal Ebates.ca experiences.

Thank you for telling me what I already know. BEFORE May 15, 2017…..Ebates.ca stated I was getting a “Big Fat Payment of $42.?? (something cents) on May 15, 2017” and NOW my “Big Fat Payment” has been PUSHED BACK TO AUGUST 15, 2017……WHY?

If you cannot answer this truthfully, please forward to someone who can or I will take this further on my own.

Respectfully,
R*******

A “Big Fat Payment” of $42.?? was supposed to be issued to my PayPal account today, May 15, 2017 and now I see you’ve pushed it ahead to August 15, 2017. WHY?

It sucks that you had a bad experience with them. It’s been working for me, if anything goes wrong on my side I’ll let you all know for sure!

It’s a scam! They will nickle and dime every transaction and then cancel your account for no reason when it comes to cheque issuance. Looks good at first glance but don’t expect to see the money you are owed because you never will!!

Hi, Eric!
That’s what I always say: it may be only $0.50, but hey, it’s MY $0.50! Walmart free shipping is something from the heavens, indeed :) And it’s good to know that your Ebates customer service experience has been good! I’ve read some reviews online saying they were bad, but my experience has been great so far.
The idea of putting this cash back money into something “fun” seems interesting. Mine goes towards retirement or my safety net.
Thanks for commenting!

I LOVE using ebates! I’ve been a member for 2+ years now. It’s so simple. Like you said, typically you don’t save a lot, but I figure 1% – 5% (usual amounts where I shop, depending on what I buy and if it’s double cash back or not) is still 1%-5% saved off the purchase. Best thing I love is free shipping on any order at Walmart (yes, any! I’ve purchased a bag of plastic forks for $1 and still got free shipping) and then the cash back. I see ebates as using a cash back credit card (even though I combine them for optimum results!!), so it’s nice to get a cheque every couple months from them. It’s a rebate on stuff I was already going to buy, so I put the cheque’s from them into my “fun fund” for vacations and whatnot.

Any issues I’ve had with ebates itself (and I think there’s been only a couple) are handled quickly and professionally by their customer service, so I have no complaints.

For someone really wanting to get serious with ebates, I’d check out Great Canadian Rebates too, as its ebates really own major competition in canada. Check both before shopping, cause one may have a higher cash back percent at the time than the other (although typically, ebates does win!).

Btw Dan, thanks for commenting on the most recent B&E blog; that’s how I found you! :)
