Total Rebates 2010

2011-01-09T10:32:00.001-05:00

At the beginning of 2010, I joined Mr. Rebates. I was not sure exactly what it was or if I shopped online all that much. I decided to give it a try and see what happened. Well, over the course of the calendar year, I think it was worth it! I received over $86 back from Mr. Rebates...they actually sent a paper check to my home! Here is a list of payments that I received this year:

The only "hard part" about Mr. Rebates is that you have to wait 90 days for rebates to go from Pending to Avaialable. I signed up in January, and it was April before I could get a check. But, as you can see, once I got through the first 90 day period, I had enough in my account to keep getting checks pretty regularly. In 2011, I expect to be able to get a rebate check every month.

So what did I buy online? There are a few items that I was already purchasing online every month. One is coffee for my Kuerig and another is printer ink. I also bought gifts that needed to be shipped to a family member or friend because the store can ship the items for free in many cases. Even eBay is a participating store, so if there was something I was buying from eBay anyway, I would go through Mr. Rebates. We did some remodeling of our condo this year and some items we had to special order, I was able to get rebates on as well....like the lights for our bathrooms, the cabinet handles for my desk, and the sink faucets.

I shared my experiences with Mr. Rebates with a few friends, and they signed up, too. Whenever they make a purchase, I earn a little bit of their rebate too! Here are my lifetime stats for the program:

So as you can see, I am expecting about $80 from Mr. Rebates, mostly due to the great Christmas shopping season!

I am definitely going to continue shopping through Mr. Rebates this year. It's FREE and easy...all you do is begin each online shopping trip from your Mr. Rebates account and the dollars start adding up. If you're shopping online this year, why not earn a little extra back on each purchase....if you sign up today, you can have your first check just in time for spring break.

Cash-back Holiday Shopping

2010-10-29T08:43:00.000-04:00

Do you shop for the holidays online? Do you hit the Black Monday sales? Do you take advantage of free shipping offers to send gifts to family and friends across the country? Do you earn points on your credit card and with store rewards cards? Did you know that you can also be earning cash-back rewards on those same purchases and receive a check in the mail after the holidays?

I have been shopping on-line through a program called Mr. Rebates since January of this year. I have received over $70 in cash-back just because I take a few extra minutes and begin my shopping from the Mr. Rebates website.

The program is very simple….sign up for a free account, begin each shopping trip from their website, and you earn cash-back on that purchase. There are over 2,000 stores that participate so chances are you can benefit from shopping for your favorite products and at your favorite stores. The great thing is that you can still utilize your frequent shopper accounts, your special discounts, free shipping offers, and earn points on your credit card when paying for the purchases. This program is completely separate and your rewards come from Mr. Rebates, not from the stores.

After you have $10 worth of rebates clear your account, you can request a check. When you sign up today, you receive a $5.00 bonus, so you’re already half-way to your first cash reward! Here are just some examples of how you could earn the other $5.00 in rebates ….

· Toys R Us.com (4%): A single purchase of $130

· Barnes & Noble.com (4$): Five purchases of $25 (to receive free shipping)

· 1-800-flowers.com (8%): $65 purchase

· Sony.com (3%): Spend $175

· 1800PetMeds.com (10%): Two purchases of $39 (to receive free shipping)

· Restaurant.com (25%): Spend $20 on gift certificates

· Walmart.com (3%): Spend $175

If you’re shopping online anyway and you can take a few extra minutes to begin at Mr. Rebates, you can earn cash-back on the purchases you’re already going to make! Sign up for your free account today to take advantage of the $5.00 sign up bonus at Mr. Rebates.com.
