Ebates Birthday 15%


Its the best time of the year here for resellers and online shoppers alike. Ebates 20th Birthday was announced, and is now live! But, Ebates Birthday is a bit difference than I think we all expected.

What we expected for Ebates Birthday


In honor of Ebates 20th Birthday, Ebates was hyping up their 20% cashback on many, many stores – exciting, right?!?

However, we’re seeing things pan out a little bit differently.

What’s really happening for Ebates Birthday


When logging in to 2 different accounts, I’m seeing different promotions, and I think many are, as Doctor of Credit highlighted yesterday.

First they tease you with:

Ebates Birthday 20%


But then they show you:

Ebates Birthday 15%


Ebates Birthday 20% 15%


That said, there are still a bunch of stores showing at 15% and 20% But I find one thing particularly interesting.

When logging into 2 different accounts, the primary differentiation between the accounts is – one is cashback and one is linked to American Express.

For Macy’s, for example, the cashback one shows 20%, and the AMEX Linked account shows 15%.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’ll go for 15x American Express Membership Rewards all day long! But, its interesting to see this distinction.
