Ebates Birthday Week is one of my favorite weeks of the year, and this year is almost as good as the first Ebates Birthday Week that I covered in 2015, 2016 was good, but Staples didn’t make an appearance. Already, Shopping Portals are gravy, Ebates just makes this a whole lot more gravy than usual!
What’s so awesome about Ebates Birthday Week?
For starters, how does 15% cashback at tons of stores sound?
And there are tons of stores, including some really great stores for resellers! Just take a look at a selection:
You can see the full list here; if you don’t already have an Ebates account, I would greatly appreciate it, if you would consider using my Ebates referral link.
Its important to note that some stores are only a limited time, so if there’s something you’ve been thinking of getting from Staples, Ulta, Macy’s or others, act quickly!
Highlights for Resellers
With all of the different stores, its easy to get stuck in the weeds, so I thought I’d highlight some of the stores that have traditionally been very good, assuming you have permission to sell the products:
- Staples – This is a no brainer. Lots of excellent things to buy at Staples, especially when you’re talking about an effective 20% discount, plus 5x Ultimate Rewards Points.
- Macy’s – There are often good buys here, especially as we get into wedding season.
- Kohl’s – Kohl’s is particularly nice, when the stars align (read: the math that makes Kohl’s work)
- Dick’s Sporting Goods – We are getting into the outdoor season
Wrapping up
Overall, I would say this is the best time of the year to use the Ebates portal.
What store are you most happy to see as part of Ebates Birthday Week?
Anyone have issues with tracking in the past? Also, is sky the limit with this and hit as hard as you want? Don’t recall any bans with Ebates, but wondering if it’s happened.
@Craig – I haven’t, and I received confirmation from my Monday purchases on Tuesday.
I go thru Ebates to Hotels.com to book all of my husband’s travel. They say I think, 4 to 6 weeks, but all but a couple have posted within 10 days of completed stay. And I have been doing this for 2 years. Never an issue. Did not get as good a result from TopCashBack.
Macys, without a doubt. They are stealth sellers of things that you would usually go somewhere else to buy, so when it’s on sale at Macy’s, it’s really on sale. Also, they’re doing 30% off on a ton of stuff.
Awesome, thanks for sharing Micki!
