I’m a huge fan of shopping portals, because they enhance profitability for resellers, and help save a bunch of money for consumers. Ebates continues to innovate by adding Ebates Cashback In-Store. This is of course on top of enhanced cashback via the mobile app.

Ebates cashback in-store

Right now its only available at 20 stores, many of them not necessarily the ones you’d see at your local mall, but it is a step in the right direction! Of course Upromise has been doing this longer, but another cashback portal in the mix can only be a good thing.

How to enroll

Ebates cashback in-store sign-up

Much like Upromise you need to add your credit or debit cards to your account. Then you have to explicitly link to your desired offer. Its unfortunate that Ebates doesn’t make it easy, and just automatically enroll anyone who’s loaded a credit card or debit card to their account.

Ebates has also shared a nice little video highlighting the new feature:

Conclusion

Getting cashback from an online portal, in store is awesome. Its not amazing amounts of cashback, but every little bit helps. The fact is, the addition earning of Ebates Cashback in-store should be viewed as pure gravy. Take a moment to sign up, make sure you have your workhorse credit cards added to your account, and you’re done. Every little bit helps.
