I always do. Although these days I'm doing swag bucks more bc the rate of return seems to be better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1024434 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:35:18 +0000 Dandelion 1024434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: That's great to know! I'm gonna get that right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1024429 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:34:32 +0000 heffalump 1024429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: It's pretty rare for me to shop online. I hate paying for shipping if I can just drive and get it myself. Plus I usually like to see what I'm getting, touch it, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022901 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 23:43:31 +0000 immabeetoo 1022901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc<br /> @Mrs. High Heels: we've had great customer service from them on all other fronts - and I guess in the grand scheme of things they did credit me the $. it was just a huge hassle. FWIW Ebates misses their fair share of purchases too, I set a bi-monthly reminder to go through and double check all my tracking tickets against cash back (since I only click once I'm certain I'm going to purchase). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022895 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 23:35:50 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1022895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: that's terrible. i've always known discover to have good service. i better pay better attention to my purchases just in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022894 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 23:35:30 +0000 mrskc 1022894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: ah ok got it. I just started using ebates, so I'll be on the look out for extra deals. I get the emails, but usually don't really pay attention to them. I don't usually have gift cards to spend, so that's not a big deal to me. </p> <p>@scg00387: what issue did you have w/ shopdiscover? So far we've had no problems with it. ETA: Just saw your response above! I'm surprised b/c I though discover had good customer service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022893 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 23:34:30 +0000 immabeetoo 1022893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: the two purchases I made through there they claimed didn't count? Gave me some run around about how I must have done it incorrectly or returned the purchase. It took several emails and a few months of me following up and they finally credited the cash back from both purchases but it was so obnoxious compared to Ebates where they've always emailed me back within 24 hours and immediately credited if there was an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022873 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 23:08:34 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1022873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: what happened with shopdiscover? i've never had a bad experience with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022852 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:42:14 +0000 immabeetoo 1022852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: on certain categories that seem to rotate. <a href="http://www.ebates.com/amazon.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebates.com/amazon.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022851 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:41:40 +0000 immabeetoo 1022851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: @Mrs. High Heels: we use discover too - so you get the cashback bonus of course, but you can't do ebates &amp; shopdiscover. With that being said I have had extremely negative experiences with ShopDiscover the two times I used it and completely favor Ebates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022833 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:30:42 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1022833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: It helps me remember too by "liking" them on fb! So I always see them pop up on my feed advertising special cashback rates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022831 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:28:38 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1022831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: you can't. I always do a compare with the two sites and shopdiscover almost always has higher rates. However, sometimes ebates has special promos like their birthday event where so many awesome stores were 14% cash back! And when you use giftcards through ebates, the amount you would've spent in lieu of the giftcard still counts towards cashback, whereas with discover that wouldn't count since only what you spend using your discover card would count. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022829 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:25:52 +0000 autumnlove 1022829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Does it work on Amazon? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022802 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:08:42 +0000 mrskc 1022802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just barely signed up for it and so far have already forgotten to use it once. :( but we also take advantage of discover card cash back which is usually higher than ebates. I don't think I can do the shop discover abd ebates at the same time tho? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022784 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 21:59:51 +0000 ALV91711 1022784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I've signed up for it I haven't made any online purchases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022782 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 21:59:21 +0000 immabeetoo 1022782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @autumnlove: do you shop online? what are you waiting for!!</p> <p>I've gotten $1100 back since 2007.... I am pretty good about remembering! Just habit I guess, I used to have a sticky note on my screen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022771 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 21:54:12 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1022771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

Cha-Ching! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1022196 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:49:39 +0000 sunny 1022196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!

I love seeing the cash back value increase! I even get DH to check before he makes any purchases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1021600 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:27:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 1021600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @banana: I was SO BAD at remembering before I installed the extension. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1021575 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:25:30 +0000 banana 1021575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: GENIUS!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1021564 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:23:30 +0000 Andrea 1021564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: yay!! was hoping someone would be able to clue me in!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-remembering-to-use-ebates#post-1021557 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:22:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 1021557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Google Chrome extension that pulls it up automatically whenever I load an applicable website.
