Now that I'm living off-campus for the first time ever, I'm trying to save money in any place that I can. Once I stumbled across Ebates, a cash back shopping portal, my life (and wallet) were changed for the better. Keep reading to find out more.
Ebates has millions of members and over 2,000 stores to shop from. When you online shop these stores using Ebates, you can get 1%-20% cash back. Not only does Ebates give you cash back, but they also provide discounts, promo codes, and coupons when you check out. It sounds too good to be true, which is why I tried it. When you first join Ebates, you receive a free $10 gift card- how cool is that?! I received a $10 Walmart gift card which has come in handy while back-to-school shopping. You can also refer two friends and receive a $50 bonus once they make a purchase of $25 or more. Your friends will also receive $10 after making their first purchase. Here is my referral link.
So far, I've used Ebates while shopping for back-to-school items and I couldn't be any happier with my decision. Because of this company, I've saved money and also made some side cash to treat myself to Starbucks (since I'll need a lot of caffeine this school year). So far, I've been able to receive $10 cash back from various sites! $10 may not sound like a lot, but it certainly adds up over time. In fact, from now until August 14th, Ebates is running a Back-To-School promotion with double cash back! Feel free to check out the savings here. I was able to purchase two pairs of jeans from American Eagle, save $35 because of the Ebates promo code, and even get 5% cash back!

Kellyn's tips for saving money through Ebates:
1. Add the Ebates browser extension. Sometimes I forget to go to Ebates' website before I begin shopping online. When this happens, the extension will give you a notification to activate your cash back. This allows Ebates to track your purchase and ensures that you'll get your cash back.
2. Double check for Ebates coupons before you check out! This is another reason the browser extension is so helpful- it will automatically plug these coupons in for you. How convenient!
3. You don't have to only shop online to receive cash back. You can link your credit card to your Ebates account so anytime you make a purchase at a qualifying store/restaurant, you'll still save money!

Overall, I think that every college student should be using Ebates. Think about how much money you spend on dorm decor, clothes, textbooks, furniture, kitchen essentials, etc. It's expensive, but you could be pocketing about 5% of those purchases!
