Ebates 2016 Referral Bonus
Over the holiday season the Ebates shopping portal was offering members $100 in cashback for referring 3 new people. That deal ended on December 31, but a new referral window has opened and the deal is nearly as good.
Qualified Referrals
To receive referral credit new members have to qualify by shopping through the portal. Here are the terms:
A “qualified referral” is a new member of Ebates referred by you that signs up at Ebates.com during the referral period starting January 1st, 2016 and ending March 31st, 2016 and that complies with the rules set forth below. If a qualified referral makes purchases totaling $25 or more that earn cash back within one year following signing up, Ebates will pay you a $5 “Base Bonus” for each such qualified referral and you will be eligible for an additional one-time “Tier Bonus” for the referral period based on the total number of such qualified referrals you generate and the Tier Bonus table then in effect.
Bonus Tiers
You earn $5 per referral normally, but Ebates will give you a $20 bonus for each of the first three referrals. This means that you will earn $25 for one referral, $50 for two or $75 for three. Even if you only refer one or two people this works out to be a great deal. The people your refer also get a $10 gift card as well so everyone wins.
Conclusion
As you all know I am a big fan of using shopping portals. While I generally don’t preach miles & points stuff to people in the real world unless they ask, I do tell friends and family to always use a portal when shopping. Save your friends some money and make a few bucks for yourself. Of course tell them about Cashback Monitor too so they can always get the best rates!
