I'm a little late climbing onto my soapbox this year, but I'm also a little late on my Christmas shopping too, and I assume I'm not the only one. If you are still wrapping up your holiday shopping over the next few days (pun intended) and will be making purchases online, why in the world are you not using EBATES already? Ebates is an online program that gives you cash rebates as you shop online. All you have to do (after signing up) is click one button each time you shop. Literally, it's one click. Then once per quarter, Ebates sends you a "big fat check" of your accumulated rebates, by mail or deposited straight into your PayPal account. It is the easiest money you will EVER earn. Here are just a few of the places I've gotten cash back this month, for simply doing my holiday shopping: Shutterfly... buying personalized gifts for grandmas. Etsy... ordering my Christmas cards. W3LLPEOPLE... for a clean makeup product I decided to try with a Black Friday discount.  These are all thing I would have purchased anyway, but because I clicked a button three times (once for each purchase), I'll get $7 back just for these small transactions. And all these little rebates add up... In fact, in my account, they have added up to $764.00 over the past few years.  And this is why I write this blog post every year. I want you to get $764 too! You can open your own account here. P.S. Why did I start this post with a photo of Vancouver BC? Because another way I use Ebates is when I'm booking travel online. Many sites such as Expedia and Hotels.com work with Ebates, so I earn money on travel expenses throughout the year. ... Read more
