The Battle of the Cash Back Sites

Disclosure: If you make a purchase through the links posted below, I may receive a small compensation. Read the full disclosure.

I’ve mentioned it about a million times, but I love me some ebates. I was talking to some friends about it and one of them mentioned how much she loved Mr. Rebates. WHAT? A cash back site I didn’t know about? I am somewhat ashamed! I know about ebates. I know about ShopAtHome. But I’d never heard of Mr. Rebates until yesterday. I signed up (of course) and then did some browsing through the cash back offers on all the different sites to see how they stack up. Let’s compare shall we:

Nordstrom:
ebates: 5% cash back
ShopAtHome: 5% cash back
Mr. Rebates: 5% cash back
The winner: It’s a draw.  Hmm, that was pretty boring. All three sites had the same cash back amount. So I kept looking. And keep in mind that I looked only for stores that I have shopped at in the last few months.

Bath & Body Works:
ebates: 2% cash back
ShopAtHome: 4% cash back
Mr. Rebates: 3% cash back
The winner: ShopAtHome. Sure it’s only 2% different than ebates, but I’m cheap like that and want to get the most cash back possible.

Target:
ebates: 2% cash back
ShopAtHome: 4% cash back
Mr. Rebates: 3% cash back
The winner: ShopAtHome.

GAP:
ebates: 10% cash back
ShopAtHome: 6% cash back
Mr. Rebates: 5% cash back
The winner: ebates.

Neiman Marcus:
ebates: 4% cash back
ShopAtHome: no cash back
Mr. Rebates: no cash back
The winner: ebates.

Sephora:
ebates: 8% cash back
ShopAtHome: 9% cash back
Mr. Rebates: 6% cash back
The winner: ShopAtHome.

And finally….
QVC (as if you don’t shop there):
ebates: 2.5% cash back
ShopAtHome: 5% cash back
Mr. Rebates: 6% cash back
The winner: Mr. Rebates.

As you can see, there is no single best cash back site.  I don’t play favorites and will use whatever site gets me the most cash back.  Period.  Keep in mind that cash back amounts can change daily, so you’ll want to check each site before making any purchase!  With all the holiday shopping going on, who doesn’t want to save here and there.  If you haven’t signed up for any (or all) of these sites yet, what are you waiting for?  It’s super easy and takes like one minute.  They don’t ask for any crazy information like your social security number or anything.  Just your name and e-mail.  Oh, and an address so they can send you the check.
