Apparently ebates is changing its name, but either way it is celebrating its 20th birthday with 20% cash back at some stores for the next day or so. Make sure to check it out. If you aren't signed up, here is my referral link, but don't feel you need to use it. I just wanted people to not forget about the anniversary deals link |

I'm so irritated at myself. I ordered from Lands End on Friday and of course they're one of the 20% off stores.

I just checked mine and it is only offering 15% off at select stores.  I don't use it much anymore as I prefer to use the United MileagePlus Shopping app. The miles do more for me right now. If a store doesn't participate with that, then I will use eBates (Chewy's is one). |

I have been seeing their commercials on TV and wondering if they were ebates! Logo styling was too close for it not to be!

They expect people to remember that name? lol I don’t use the browser plugin because all the pop ups were annoying.

Does anyone know if there are limits? We are going to Disney and I could buy quite a bit - I owe $1k just in my hotel. That would be huge.

I did all the time till it updated and then suddenly I needed manager approval and it was such a pain I stopped using it there. I've wondered if that has been fixed. |

I rarely post on my computer, so I don't typically see the politics tag, but can someone explain why this is labeled politics?

I am using the shopping portal on my browser. Sorry that I used the wrong term. I haven't had any issues with Walmart on the shopping portal (online ordering), but haven't tried the actual shopping app. DD keeps trying to show me how to use that but I seem to have a block against it. One thing I recently learned about the shopping portal (online) is that there are in-store offers you can link to your account. Example: if I link Talbots through the portal, then I will get 1.5 miles/$1 if I use my United card to pay. |

I hope you can get past the block on the app. At the places I can use it easily I love it especially since I can use other cards besides united when the rewards are better. |

I came upon this post just after ordering something online only to see my little "e" ad-on had disappeared and replaced with a "R"... was wondering about it and then...viola!
The peas know and answer all, even before the asking!

I remember when Rakuten bought buy.com and suddenly buy.com went downhill fast. I hope ebates doesn't go the same way.
I agree that changing the name is a terrible idea.

This is really strange. I would swear that this brand name is on the Golden State Warriors' jerseys and I only know that because I couldn't figure out what the word was on their jerseys during the game a few days ago so I focused on it to be able to read it. Definitely an awkward word to say and remember.

Before they bought Ebates, I knew of Rakuten as Japanese online shop and I did buy some Japanese stationary goods from them before. I did not know they bought Ebates.
Global.rakuten.com is their store. They sell everything Japanese!
