Big Fat Check

I received a big fat check in the mail today, and all because I shopped online. How did I do this? One word: Ebates, an online Cash Back Shopping site. Using Ebates is simple--you go to the website, select one of 1,000 stores to shop at, and click on the store which sends you to the store to shop but also opens a 'ticket' in Ebates. Once you place an online order, you will receive a percentage of the money you spent in a rebate. The amount varies by store, but can be as little as 1% or as much as 20%. Ebates offers cash back and coupons on a wide variety of stores, including some of my favorites like Target, Gap, JoAnn Fabric and Crafts, Fabric.com, Diapers.com, and Joseph A Banks (for Nathan). And just for signing up at Ebates, they will give you a $5.00 rebate! Note: for you to receive that $5, you MUST make a qualified purchase through Ebates. But many of us shop online, so how hard could that be? You can also earn more money by referring your friends to Ebates. But you might have guessed that by now:-) So, please, check out Ebates--sign up, do something shopping, recommend it to your friends! What a great way to get a Big Fat Check!
